We've well and truly settled into the 2026 AFL season, and so have Zero Hanger's AFL Player Ratings.
But who is your club's best defender? Best midfielder or forward? Who is the rising star (under 23) on your side or the veteran (over 30) who keeps kicking on?
The AFL Player Ratings are a live, fan-driven ranking of the best players across every position. Powered by votes from the AFL Player Rater, these rankings reflect real opinions from fans comparing players in head-to-head matchups.
Our rankings are calculated using an Elo rating system, where every player starts equal and moves up or down based on results. Beating a higher-rated opponent significantly boosts a player's ranking, while losing to a lower-rated player results in a larger drop.
The ratings have been determined for each player in the five categories.
(Ratings as at 18/06).
