Rate the roles. How do you rate the different on ground roles in the AFL?

I'd say:

1) Key forward
2) Small / medium forward
3) Inside midfielder
4) Ruckman
5) Key Defender
6) Outside midfielder
5) Small / Medium Defender

Hard to know where to put small / medium forward. But I reckon being a forward requires the rarest skills (i.e. being able to win contests, not just neutralise them, and kick goals)
