    Re: Top of the ladder.

    The current ladder says we played 17 & 18 (because our margins put them there), but after round 2 we are the only team to give up less than 123 points, let alone less than 100, let alone only 74. Amazing defensive result for an highly attacking team.

    50 points less than the Swans in next place.

    Re: Top of the ladder.

    I'm hitting the sack after a great weekend headlined by our second sweeping victory, 2/2 to start the season, top of the ladder. Makes it easy to go to work tomorrow. Go Dogs.

    We have not been top of the ladder after round 4 since 1997 (we were top in round 14).

    That would be nice going into the bye. North need to lose to the Hawks.

    Sydney don't play until Sunday, though, so the point still remains that we will be on top of the ladder come late Saturday night if Hawthorn and the Bulldogs win.

    Would be great to be top come seasons end. A lot of work still to do but you never know. I believe it would be the first time in the VFL/AFL we have finished top. In our premiership years of 1954 and 2016 we finished 3rd and 7th respectively.

    Yep Ports % was pretty high before this game so yep a big Eagles win helps us to the top.

    Don't count your chickens. Melbourne play GWS tomorrow and the Giants are capable of being just as insipid as North at the moment.
