15 rounds in and we've never been more perplexed over which teams are serious, and who's on fraud watch.
One thing is for certain, it is Sydney's to lose from here and it may take something miraculous to halt their surge to a sixth flag.
Below them lies unending confusion; the two sides with the second & third best percentage sitting outside the top eight.
10th-placed Brisbane sit less than two wins out of the top four, but the former bottom-dweller Hawks may be one of the four best teams going around at this moment.
As the ladder deceives us like never before, stars from every team are making a compelling case for their spot in the AFL All-Australian team.
In this edition, all but three sides are represented and five clubs have earned the honour of featuring multiple names.
Men we had thought set their names in stone by Round 10 have been stunningly omitted, through their own struggles or another's rise.
As always, a host of names remain stiff to miss, but here is the cream of the 2024 crop lucky enough to secure a spot in our Round 15 rolling side.
