This must be based on “currently available to play” ratings.
 

Hore, Petty and Preuss would be all around 31-33 mark in normal business. Hore especially was very good last year.  I’d certainly rate all above Bedford, Spargo and Cwagner.  

Is this ranked as current output or potential output?

On what basis exactly is a player who is yet to debut ranked above 9 others who have?

I loved the bit where Bradke was rated higher then Hore and Petty.

Hore was only rated 4th for intercept marks in the AFL in 2019... but yeah cool.


I ranked the players using a more objective method:

Christian Petracca 2280

Jack Viney 2666

Clayton Oliver 2248

Max Gawn 2200

Jake Melksham 2213

Jake Lever 2072

Angus Brayshaw 1888

Michael Hibberd 1741

Tom McDonald 1635

Christian Salem 1402

Charlie Spargo 1229

Harley Bennell 892

Sam Weideman 869

Bayley Fritsch 755

James Harmes 753

Josh Wagner 734

Aaron vandenBerg 687

Alex Neal-Bullen 689

Nathan Jones 685

Jayden Hunt 651

Mitchell Hannan 642

Oscar McDonald 611

Give us a clue @Skuit

The exercise in compiling the rankings was the definition of a complete waste of time but the numbers aren't totally random (like derived from numerology for instance). A box of McDonald's cookies in the mail for whoever cracks the code. 

 

I'd be concerned with any ranking system that doesn't have Gawn as our number 1. Three times AA in the past 4 years, dual B&F, AFL Coaches Award winner in 2018. And once again having another consistent and brilliant season. 6 games ago Tracc finished 5th in our club B&F - his first top 5 finish.  He's played three outstanding games this season (Carlton, Hawthorn, GC and a couple of good ones).  I'd think there would still be some distance between his and Gawn's output.  But if he can go past Gawn then we will have two genuine champions and be well on our way to some long overdue team success.

6 - LANGDON

I reckon he's heading for a top 5-8 B&F finish. Been a great pick up aside from 1 or 2 quietish games at the G earlier in the season.

I can't crack the code but how on earth is Melksham so high?

Petracca has been on fire. Toss of the coin with those 2. I think they are the best 2 in the league.

It's based on this year he was an emergency in one game.

Melksham being so high might be a clue together with Hibberd's rather elevated status. I would say Spargo and Jones are the real anomalies.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
