COLLINGWOOD has a huge weapon that will be very hard to stop — unless Dustin Fletcher comes out of retirement. Plus Geelong’s biggest problem just got worse. How is your team placed after 10 rounds? FORM ANALYSIS

Mason Cox of the Magpies marks the ball.

COLLINGWOOD has a huge weapon that will be very hard to stop unless Dustin Fletcher comes out of retirement.

Meanwhile, Geelong’s biggest problem just got worse and Adelaide can still win the flag.

THE TACKLE: ROBBO’S ROUND 10 LIKES AND DISLIKES

SUPERCOACH: THE PLAYERS YOU HAVE TO DUMP NOW

See Jon Anderson’s form analysis of every team after Round 10 below. How is your club placed?

1. WEST COAST 36 135.8%

Rightly it’s all about winning in Melbourne even it it wasn’t the Eagles’ most Marvel-ous performance for the year. They need to wait until Round 17 to get their crack at the G against the Pies. Injuries: Sheed (cut head), Sheppared (thumb). SuperCoach: Gaff (135) has cracked the ton nine weeks in a row. Why is he only in 2 per cent of teams?

2. RICHMOND 32 133.4%

It’s unusual for a first-round draft pick such as Josh Caddy to have had three clubs by age 24, but it’s the Tigers who are fully reaping the benefits of a contested beast who kicks goals. On target to kick 50 this year. Smart recruiting. Injuries: Houli (groin), Riewoldt (concussion). SuperCoach: Caddy (146) led the way, Dusty rallied late.

3. MELBOURNE 28 136.6%

One of the Dees’ most complete team performances this century. They don’t have an obvious weakness and are as strong around the flanks as any team. And they are quick. Injuries: Nil. SuperCoach: Brayshaw (130) now has tons in three of his past four games. Dual-position bargain?

4. SYDNEY 28 116.1%

A total danger game so a win and no injuries was massive. And so was the game of George Hewett, who has clearly studied hard the Sydney way of playing. How good are the Swans? Not sure they have enough avenues to goal if Buddy is held. Injuries: Nil. SuperCoach: Just 60 for Buddy.

5. NORTH MELBOURNE 24 120.5%

The Roos have been transformed into one of the hardest teams to play against with a defence that gets undersold. And that means they will stay in most games. Plus they have the wildcard Waite. Injuries: Durdin (head knock). SuperCoach: Ben Jacobs (111) is the rookie we all missed. Averaging 78 and has gone up nearly $200k.

6. GEELONG 24 118%

Their ruck unit remains an Achilles heel, with pinch-hitter Ratugolea gone until 2019 and Stanley and Smith waxing without conviction. Do they give in-form VFL tall Ryan Abbott a crack against the Suns? Be sure they are targeting one for next year. Injuries: Ratugolea (broken ankle). SuperCoach: Dangerfield (133) enjoyed his first price rise of the season.

7. ADELAIDE 24 109.7%

Not a lot of point in dwelling on the Crows’ loss other than a couple of blokes got found out, but they have many players to come back. They can still win the flag. Injuries: Nil. SuperCoach: You just get’s get rid of Doedee (104).

8. COLLINGWOOD 24 109.6%

Agree with Buckley that Mason Cox doesn’t get much from the men in green, particularly chopping the arms. Not sure, with Dustin Fletcher’s retirement, there is a defender equipped to combat him, which with natural improvement makes him a problem for every other club. Injuries: Varcoe (hamstring). SuperCoach: Grundy (152) a great VC choice.

Mason Cox’s huge reach is almost impossible to combat.

9. PORT ADELAIDE 24 108.1%

Hamish Hartlett aside, the Power are travelling well on the injury front and they have a favourable draw on the way home, with the biggest games at the place where they’ll never be torn apart. Importantly, exciting young forward Todd Marshall is available after compassionate leave. SuperCoach: This is the week to grab Tom Rockliff if you’re brave.

10. HAWTHORN 20 104.8%

Honest, but the Hawks would cop an ugly four points any time over honourable losses as they slop out of top-four reckoning. They lack forward cohesion when Roughead is up the ground. Injuries: Nil. SuperCoach: Tom Mitchell (116) down on season average but still Hawks’ best.

11. GWS GIANTS 18 97.8%

It’s starting to look ugly and the AFL is worried. Yes, they still have crucial injuries but there were a lot of first-round draft picks who meekly lay down to Essendon. Never underestimate the importance of Toby Greene for his competitive juices. Injuries: Taranto (quad). SuperCoach: Is Heath Shaw (149) back in business?

12. ESSENDON 16 93.8%

Again got plenty of carry out of their midfield plus Adam Saad had the wheels back on. Francis and Parish on fire in the VFL so there is some depth, with Daniher back after the bye. Goes to show two weeks can be a lifetime in the AFL world. Injuries: Nil. SuperCoach: Devon Smith (120) had his best score fo the year and is averaging 95.

13. FREMANTLE 16 85.4%

Rain, hail or shine, pen the Dockers in for 60-70 points. That brand will bore the odd team into submission but ultimately comes up short when it counts. Injuries: Sandilands (head knock). SuperCoach: Big numbers from Fyfe (163) and Michael Walters (146).

14. WESTERN BULLDOGS 16 77.9%

When it really mattered in the third quarter it was their leaders in Dalhlaus and Bontempelli who let them down, missing straightforward set shots. If your leaders can’t nail them, then who can? And kicking goals is their issue. Injuries: Cordy (concussion). SuperCoach: Bont (47) a huge let-down and Macrae (102) a mere mortal.

15. GOLD COAST 12 73.7%

The West Coast and Melbourne losses aside, the Suns have been largely competitive as Stuart Dew attempts to implement his brand. Lynch will return against Geelong next Saturday, as will underrated small defender Joyce. SuperCoach: Aaron Hall has a three-round average of 110 and has already had his bye. And he’s in 367 teams. Point of difference, anyone?

16. ST KILDA 6 70.1%

Hard to query their effort so maybe it comes down to them not having enough really good players. To improve that they have to lure a free agent and that won’t happen unless they make themselves an appealing destination. Injuries: White (corked thigh), Newnes (head knock), Dunstan (shoulder). SuperCoach: Jimmy Webster (128) averaging 122 over his past three.

17. BRISBANE LIONS 4 81.7%

Not sure how good a player Mitch Robinson is but doubt anyone in the comp gets more out of himself. Every kid who has an AFL dream should fly to Brisbane for a week and watch him go about his work. As for his team, they are building something. Injuries: Eagles (abdominals). SuperCoach: Mitch Robinson (172) is the seventh-highest averaging forward this year.

18. CARLTON 4 63.2%

Saw enough from the forward trio of C.Curnow, Kerr and McKay to suggest they could form a potent and varied unit. Plus the rodeo-riding Petrevski-Seton is rediscovering the pressure aspects of his game. Injuries: Nil. SuperCoach: Kade Simpson (140) led four Blues in triple figures.
