An athlete's ability is always being examined and analysed, with most of the time being done so under subjective eyes, but what if there was a more objective way to judge it?

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.

Looking at the next generation of AFL stars (under 23), where do they rank by combining their performance, ability to beat opponents and the public's own opinion to form our new AFL Player Rating system?

You don't get nicknamed ‘The Wizard' for no reason, with the Hawthorn conjuring highlights effortlessly on his way to taking the league by storm. His 18 goals are impressive, but not in comparison to how he gets them, while his spurts in the midfield factor  to and has been a big reason, if not the reason, for the Hawks' dominance thus far.
