Our Zero Hanger AFL Player Ratings have determined the best players at each age group, going from 18 to the ripe age of 38.
The ratings are a fan-voted AFL player concept where two players are compared to each other based on a certified Elo rating algorithm, and you get to choose who you believe is the better player.
We've looked at the top three for each age group, or the maximum amount of players.

The number one ruckman over the past decade still finds himself ranked as the highest ruckman in the AFL at the age of 34. The Demons have been putting him more forward, and it has worked perfectly; his ability to influence a game by himself has been unreal again in 2026.
Hawks Jack Gunston has been unbelievable once again, currently second in the Coleman medal race and has a real chance to win to take out the award in his 17th season. Then Jake Melksham ranks at 257 as a top-three player at his age.
