A mix of half-backs who kick-start transition and lockdown talls are among the defenders viewed by fans as the best in the league.

Kicking, composure and competitiveness are among the skills that bind the best together.

With Zero Hanger's AFL Player Ratings, it is now possible to judge these 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.

The St Kilda co-captain racks up plenty of the footy off half-back as his side's chief distributor.

Can impact in the midfield but has made his name as a run-and-gun half-back who sees the game well and makes bold decisions with the footy in his hands.

Is an important part of Ross Lyon's exciting brand in 2026.
