Commentary
1) The big ties are breaking up a little bit. BDC and Canberra fell out of the unbeaten club this week; falling out of the big tie at the top hurt them both a disproportionate amount change-wise. Meanwhile, the Sea Turtles and Bandits both got their first wins in order to climb out of the cellar. Replacing them in the tie are Barossa and Brantford, who last week were in their own little world at 21st because they had faced only undefeated teams in the first 3 weeks. Now that that's no longer the case, both free-fell back to the bottom.
2) We're still waiting for our first beatloop (unless I am missing it somewhere). This isn't too surprising; GLB has a much wider skill band (see: all the 4-0 and 0-4 teams) and fewer upsets than the NFL, which leads to more vertical graphs. In addition, we don't have home-and-away series like NFL divisions, which produce a beatloop if the teams split.
3) Keep an eye on Firmament Mystic Prophets and Sth Queensland Crushers. They are very interesting to me: Firmament is 1-3, but they beat SQC (by 1), whose second loss was a 1-pointer to VKS. Either both of these teams are pretty good, or they're both mediocre or worse.
4) Samoa is the lowest-ranked 2-2 team. Beatpaths are stupid!
As always, please ask questions and point out anything that looks buggy!
