Richmond is the only club to not have a player in Zero Hanger's top 100 AFL Player Ratings.
The AFL Player Ratings 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 players in the same position, allowing fans to directly compare and decide who is better in each matchup.
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 players.
As at June 15, Tigers premiership defender Nick Vlastuin is the highest ranked Richmond player, sitting at 101.
Essendon has one player within the top 100. Former captain Zach Merrett comes in at 51.
West Coast's Harley Reid is the only Eagle in the upper echelon of the competition, sitting at 27.
Unsurprisingly, Carlton has two players (Patrick Cripps, 31 and Jacob Weitering, 59).
North Melbourne and St Kilda come hold four players, while Collingwood and Port Adelaide have five.
Brisbane leads the competition with the most players inside the top 100, as 12 stars reeling from the premiership success in recent years.
Hawthorn isn't far behind with 10, as is Fremantle and Sydney at nine.
