There are only two smalls among the best forwards of the AFL as fans favour some of the league's big men.

With Zero Hanger's AFL Player Ratings, it is now possible to judge players and assess where their seasons ranked among their peers.

The fan-voted AFL Player Rater compares two players against each other based on their position by using a certified Elo rating algorithm- the same system used in global sports rankings to produce the live and real-time results.

5Riley Thilthorpe

Player Ratings Points: 2082.6

The damaging Crow has yet to hit the heights of his career-best campaign last year, which makes his ranking an eyebrow raiser.

Thilthorpe has been serviceable for Adelaide in 2026, but is yet to light the world on fire. His inaccuracy in front of goal has cost him bigger hauls, but fans and supporters still rate his work more than most.

Impressively, his winning percentage on Zero Hanger's AFL Player Ratings is 85.47 percent.
