Jack Riewoldt ranked at #47 by his peers.
-----------------------------------------------------------
For the third year, on the eve of the premiership season we've presented the AFL players with the challenge of ranking the best 50 players in the League.
Players from all 18 clubs took part in the survey, with 90 players receiving at least one vote.
We start with players 50-41, with the countdown continuing until Friday, March 18, when the AFL's No.1 player – according to his peers – is revealed.
Top 41 - 50:
41. Harry Taylor
42. Nathan Jones
43. Brent Harvey
44. Tom Hawkins
45. Jack Steven
46. Josh Gibson
47. Jack Riewoldt
Richmond
Forward
Last year's ranking: -
Official AFL Player Rating: 46
Debut: 2007
Games: 180
NAB AFL Fantasy value: $429,000
The club's leading goalkicker for the sixth successive season, Riewoldt continued to mature into a fine leader in 2015. Playing a tweaked role further up the ground, he took more marks (144), won more uncontested possessions (166) and had more inside 50s (75) than in any of his previous eight seasons. His ability to play that role but still kick 54 goals saw him rewarded with his first All Australian selection since 2010. Underwent minor shoulder surgery in the off-season but was still expected to enjoy a full pre-season. Riewoldt started 2016 with a bang in an excellent performance against Hawthorn in the NAB Challenge and will look to keep that form up throughout the year.
48. Bernie Vince
49. Marcus Bontempelli
50. Dylan Shiel

Wow... some of the names before him.... Jones, Hawkins, Steven... lol
-
ranked behind hawkins is a bit rough. as a forward Jack had the better 2015. Maybe other clubs don't rate him?
-
Ranked behind Jack Stephen is an insult. He is a good player, but Riewoldt is a champ.

Lids at #40.
31. Robert Murphy
32. Eddie Betts
33. Jeremy Cameron
34. Shaun Burgoyne
35. Nic Naitanui
36. Andrew Gaff
37. Jake Stringer
38. Taylor Walker
39. Tom Rockliff
40. Brett Deledio
Richmond
Midfielder
Last year's ranking: 49
Official AFL Player Rating: 23
Debut: 2005
Games: 232
AFL Fantasy value: $530,000
Had a massive impact last season and was named All Australian for the second time despite missing five games through injury and suspension. Richmond's vice-captain missed four games between rounds two and five, with the Tigers winning just one of those, highlighting his incredible value to the team. The players recognised his importance to Richmond by moving him up nine spots on the list. Deledio went on to kick 27 goals and averaged 21 possessions and was arguably the Tigers' most valuable player, standing up in big games, including four goals in the brilliant win against Hawthorn in round 18. After managing a calf injury through the pre-season, Deledio will hope to keep the problem under control to maintain his streak of having played at least 18 games every season since he was drafted in 2004.

I'm finding it hard to swallow that the players think Cameron is a better key forward than Jack off 2015.
I'd easily rate Deledio higher than Rockliff as well.

Rockliffs huge games are better than deledio. We just see them less being in a different state.
-
For me Rockliff's possessions aren't super damaging. Lids usually has laser like kicks into 50 if he isn't kicking the goals himself. His 4 goal haul against hawks, his game in the EF vs port, and even rnd 7 vs pies he kicked some very important goals

Cotch at #22.
21. Chad Wingard
22. Trent Cotchin
Richmond
Midfielder
Last year's ranking: 13

Debut: 2008

AFL Fantasy value: $506,000
A major reason the Tigers pushed to the edge of the top four last year, the captain grew as a leader and was inspirational in some games. One of the game's top midfielders, he lifted his inside game and led the Tigers with 271 contested possessions and ranked No.2 for clearances (112). Still, it wasn't his most consistent season and he will benefit from more midfield support this season. He will be desperate to atone for a quiet elimination final against North Melbourne and lead the Tigers back into September.

Is Jack still the Dani Minogue of the Riewoldt family ?
How many Colemans has Nick won ?

Yes he is, would be a different story if he played for Melbourne though

Are you stuffing serious Mat? Are you trying to call Nick Riewoldt a dud because he hasn't won a Coleman? He is arguably the best CHF of the 2000's.

Dear Petey,
I can state very confidently if Nick Riewoldt played for RFC he would be a glass half full type

Shane Edwards is the best CHF if the 2000's.

No Petey no.
You interpreted my post as me suggesting Nick was a dud.
I just think in 2016 Jack is now a superior player.
Nick is and has been a champion player throughout his career - And a champion crier.

Cotchin should be in the 40s minimum
-
The entire list should be equal first!

Richmond
Defender
Last year's ranking: -
Official AFL Player Rating: 30
Debut: 2009
Games: 130
AFL Fantasy value: $393,000
Regarded as the best key defender in the AFL after his second consecutive All-Australian season. Following a drawn-out contract saga, the West Australian re-signed and went on to win his first Jack Dyer Medal by a significant margin. Capable of both rebounding and locking down on the opposition’s best key forward, Rance was the Tigers' most consistent performer in big games. He burst into the top 50 after missing out last year, but looks set to stay on the list for years to come.
20. Dustin Martin
Richmond
Midfielder
Last year's ranking: 39
Official AFL Player Rating: 49
Debut: 2010
Games: 131
AFL Fantasy value: $573,000
After a slow start to 2015, the explosive midfielder started firing and rounded out his finest season with a second placing in the best and fairest, and a rise of 19 spots on the player ratings list. Continues to mature and has the ability to be among the best players in the competition. His average disposals, clearances, inside 50s and tackles all lifted to career-high levels last season and he remained an unstoppable opponent in attack with 24 goals. The sky is the limit for Martin in 2016.

So the best defender in the AFL is only the 19th best player in the entire competition?
Players are dumber than Mike Sheehan

Geez Jack gets a rough deal. #47 is laughably low for arguably the most consistent key forward over the last five years and undoubtedly one of the smartest.
