Opening Round is etching ever closer as we hit the second half of our top 50 players list of 2024. This week we're looking through spots 30-21.
Rather than naming the best performers of 2023 or the top players entering Opening Round, this list will look at the best players currently with some projections as to how they may rank at the end of the year.
Many established stars made the cut in our last edition but may have been ranked lower than expected.
As we reach the cream of the crop in the top 30, the scope of talent in our league becomes glaringly apparent, with a host of top tier All-Australians and even Brownlow contenders featuring outside the top 20.
PART I: BEST PLAYERS OF 2024 (50-41)
PART II: BEST PLAYERS OF 2024 (40-31)
10. 21 - Connor Rozee
The second of the Port Adelaide midfield trio to be listed, Connor Rozee has the potential to skyrocket up this list and become one of the league's best players completely.
He is the classic 25-disposal, goal-per-game midfielder that rips apart finals and is almost becoming a necessity for modern day premiers.
Rozee is Port Adelaide's version of the Jordan De Goey, Christian Petracca or Dustin Martin type that racks up damaging disposals and is always a threat in front of goal.
After breaking out in 2022 with a maiden All-Australian campaign, he has improved further and will now relish the chance to perform as captain, where the pressure will lift but so will the motivation to perform.
