Yes, the thread you've been waiting for is finally here...a list of the top 50 players in the AFL right now under 50 years of age, so basically excluding Brent Harvey, Dustin Fletcher and Shannon Hurn.
No, but really this is HTPunter's list of 50 players who have played under 50 games.
The ratings are subjective. There is a combination of 'what they have achieved' and 'what they could achieve'. This leads to what will probably be perceived as flawed logic at times, but that's because for some I can't justify having them too high because I do not believe they have performed enough, and others I can't justify having higher because I don't believe they will develop into stars. Games played in total is not a huge issue for the general ranges of spots (say 1st-10th etc) but it did help differentiate when it came down to 1 over the other.
EDIT: One important thing I forgot to mention - players must have played at least 1 game at AFL level. This rules out Jesse Hogan, who I found it incredibly hard to place, and so it was easier to rule him out altogether with this on-the-run rule change. It also means my thread is viable for more than a couple of weeks, considering the national draft is coming up and guys like Christian Petracca and Peter Wright will be on an AFL list soon enough.
