Four weeks ago, I published an update on the individual and team ratings accumulated by our band of merry men and women at Following Football.
With Round 9 just getting underway, it’s time to take another look at where things stand after eight rounds.
As I’ve said before, we use 23 sources of voting and evaluations of AFL players each week: several teams of the week, Brownlow-style voting, best-on-grounds, fantasy scoring, statistical leaders and AFLCA voting.

Geelong coach Chris Scott says he expects the AFL to admit the umpires made an error in the final seconds of the Cats loss to Sydney by not awarding Jeremy Cameron a mark.
Cameron thought he had marked the ball just metres out from Geelong s goal in the dying seconds of Sydney s 14. 6. (90) to 13. 10. (88) win at the SCG, only for the umpire to call play on due to his belief that the ball did not travel the required distance.
The Cats star was left stunned by the decision as the Swans held on for a thrilling victory, with the siren sounding just six seconds after the contentions non-call.

Fremantle overcame an early Tom Mitchell master-class and a wayward afternoon by two-time Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe to post a 15-point win over Hawthorn in Perth.
Earlier on Sunday, Melbourne enjoyed a 25-point triumph over Geelong, while Adelaide beat the Kangaroos by 41 points.
The Dockers looked set for a comfortable win after opening up a 36-2 lead at quarter-time, but Mitchell s 18-disposal, one-goal second term flipped momentum Hawthorn s way.
