Who are the genuine superstars of the AFL?
Nick Dal Santo says only five players can be classified as superstars of the competition.
“The criteria of it is, which I think is important, because it’s more than just the on-field,” Dal Santo said.
“Clearly on-field they need to be an absolute jet, but off-field they need to have a presence. They’ve got to be marketable.
“They are the only superstars by definition in the competition.”
Below are Nick Dal Santo’s five superstars of the AFL:
1. Nat Fyfe (Fremantle)
2. Patrick Dangerfield (Geelong)
3. Dustin Martin (Richmond)
4. Lance Franklin (Sydney)
5. Gary Ablett Jr. (Geelong)
Dwayne Russell believes Carlton gun Patrick Cripps, Western Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli and Collingwood champion Scott Pendlebury also warrant superstar status.

Martin's 2 flags, 2 Norm Smiths & 2 Gary Ayres Medals no match for Na'vi Fyfe's Grand Final choke and Clangerflog's 4 prelim chokes.. :shh

Just based on facts Martin has both Danger and Fyfe covered easily big game player.Franklin and Ablett lol maybe 5 to 6 years ago no longer tho.I agree tho Cripps and Bomp should be there.

Don’t think he listed them in any order

I don't think Junior Ablett can be called a superstar of the comp anymore.
These days the gap between his good and average is getting bigger all the time.
Spends a lot of time hanging out the back of contests waiting for the cheap possession
Was actually surprised he's gone on in 2020,

I think any superstar of the comp needs to be able to kick further than 30m
