/There's still a game to be played before we can draw the curtain on Round 7 so the full weekly blog won't appear for another 24 hours.
In the meantime, Investors will be pleased to know that their Portfolios are up 6.7% on the round so far, which means that a profit is guaranteed for Round 7 even if Carlton beat the Saints by more than 15 points in the last game, on Monday night. Alternatively, should the Saints spring the upset, another 5% will be added to the Portfolio value, which would leave it at just under breakeven for the season.

/There were no major moves on MARS Ratings this weekends.
The teams at the opposite ends of the MARS Ratings ladder enjoyed the largest gains, with Richmond (17th) rising by 1.6 Ratings Points, Collingwood (1st) rising by 1.4 Ratings Points, and Geelong (2nd) rising by 1.3 Ratings Points.
In terms of positions, Carlton and Hawthorn swapped 4th and 5th, Adelaide and Essendon swapped 9th and 10th, and the Gold Coast and the Lions swapped 14th and 15th, with the Gold Coast rising instead of falling precipitously for the first time the season (barring the bye).
