The top-rated AFL team is here, and it's been selected by you.
Zero Hanger's AFL Player Rater rates the best AFL players head-to-head and shape the ultimate fan-powered AFL Player Ratings. Every vote helps determine who truly stands as the best player in the AFL by position - from defenders to forwards, midfielders and rucks.
Our system uses a proven Elo rating algorithm - the same system used in global sports rankings. All players start with the same rating, and each vote adjusts their score based on the strength of their opponent.
Beating a highly ranked player earns more points, while losing to a lower-ranked player results in a bigger drop. This creates a constantly evolving ranking system that rewards form, consistency, and performance - meaning the best AFL players rise to the top based on real fan opinion.

Midfielders
It's always difficult choosing midfielders but the general consensus has Marcus Bontempelli, Nick Daicos and Isaac Heeney as locks.
The trio have produced stellar seasons to date, and would be pushing for more accolades, including the coveted Zero Hanger's AFL Player Ratings No.1 spot.
Bontempelli currently leads the pack of on-ballers, with Daicos and Heeney nipping at his heels.
Zak Butters, who could be planning of joining Bontempelli in the off-season, comes in at fourth, while Errol Gulden claims one of the wing roles, albeit in sixth position.
Max Gawn is the clear call for the No.1 ruck, but has a former teammate and Swans gun staking claim for the top gong.
