According to the AFL Player Rankings we only have 2 players in the Top 100 of the competition and only 5 in the top 200.

The Official AFL Player Ratings is the most sophisticated, detailed and wide-ranging statistical system ever devised for AFL footy.

To come up with the ratings, we record each kick, mark and handball in every game played but also where on the ground those possessions took place, whether or not the player was under pressure and whether the disposal hit the target.

Other crucial elements, such as chasing, corralling, perceived and actual physical pressure to assess each player’s impact in creating or disrupting scoring chains, are also collated.

The ratings are further explained here: http://www.afl.com.au/stats/player-ratings/ratings-explained

That sounds about right at the moment. Our side has been playing poorly therefore our player ratings would suck. Once the side is playing better the ratings will go up.

It's hard to argue with that assessment. In moments of quiet depression I wonder about how many Brownlow votes the club has on the board to this point.

I actually agree and think 2 in the top 100 is pretty spot on. Wouldn't have been too surprised if we had zero players in the top 100

100% agreement from me AE.

Surprised we got one!

Jack Watts - 139

James Frawley - 261

Now we've established that you can pretty much disregard these rankings.

I'd imagine Nathan Jones would be in the Top 100, but I can't for the life of me think of anyone else that would be in double figures.

James Frawley 261

Arguably the best key defender in the game

these rankings are a joke

Chicken/Egg

l'd reckon about 3 or 4

I am astonished, where are we on the ladder...oh that's right

and they pick Sylvia...fmd !!!

Frawley off the grid.. and Hi Ho on his horse.

There is no god

In an 18 team competition, that's an average of only 5.5 players per club, so it's to be expected that the bottom teams like MFC will only have a couple of players who make the list. So only having two players make that list is no more damning than what we already know about where the club is currently placed.

Who cares about such rankings!

All I want is for the MFC to actual win some more AFL games.

My question, when we win number 13 - will we mind how any players are in the top 100?
