How The AFL Ruck Ratings Work
The AFL Player Ratings for rucks rank the best players in the AFL based on fan votes from the AFL Player Rater. Every player is matched head-to-head against other rucks, allowing fans to directly compare and decide who is better in each matchup.
Because all comparisons are position-specific, these rankings provide a true reflection of the best AFL ruck, rather than mixing players across different roles. So if you're looking for the best ruck, this list is built only on fair, like-for-like matchups.
Our system uses an Elo-style rating algorithm, where every player starts on the same rating and gains or loses points after each vote. Beating a higher-ranked opponent results in a bigger increase, while losing to a lower-ranked player leads to a larger drop.
These ratings are live and constantly updating, meaning they reflect current form and momentum across the AFL season. Players can climb quickly with standout performances, but staying at the top requires consistently outperforming other elite rucks.
If you're searching for the best AFL ruck, these fan-driven rankings provide a clear and up-to-date view of who is leading the way right now.
Have your say! Head to the AFL Player Rater and start voting today.
