- Hawthorn Hawks- they have a very good performance this year marked by four consecutive victories. Including in those wins is one against Sydney Swans which resulted to the latter's third loss in the past month. Some of this team's star players are Jed Anderson, Max Bailey, Lance Franklin, Cyril Rioli, Grant Virchall to name a few.

- Sydney Swans- this team which is based in Sydney is one of the eight teams this year vying for the finals seat. One of the credentials of this club is that since 1995, they are the only team which have not missed the finals in consecutive seasons. They have strong rivalries with some of the AFL teams such as St. Kilda, Brisbane Lions, and North Melbourne.

- Geelong Cats- the famous ballclub from Geelong City, which is another strong team and in fact, every year they also performed outstandingly much to the delight of the ballclub's fans. In the 2000 up to this point, the Cats have been living up to its billing as one of AFL's club favorites and strong contenders. Some of their great players are Joel Selwood, the team's captain, Jimmy Bartel, the co-captain, Joel Corey etc.

Good luck to all these remaining and exciting clubs.
