AFL.com.au
4 May, 2016Climbing the Player Ratings becomes harder the higher you get, while players can drop quickly once they're out of the top 100 and trending down. We track the major climbers and fallers at your club and identify the top dog of every team six rounds into 2016.
RICHMONDBiggest climb: Key forward Jack Riewoldt has impressed this season despite poor supply, and he has climbed to No.36 overall as a result. He leads the Tigers with marks inside 50 (17) and contested marks (14), and ranks equal sixth in the AFL with 16 goals. He has jumped 10 spots overall since the end of last season.
Falling down: It has been a difficult season for captain Trent Cotchin, and his fall down the Player Ratings is more a reflection of his team's problems. Cotchin has fought a lone battle in the midfield at times but can't lift his rating in a struggling 1-5 team.
Highest rated: It took vice-captain Brett Deledio one match to take back his No.1 mantle at the Tigers from All-Australian teammate Alex Rance. Ranked No.31 overall, he regularly holds top billing at Tigerland when playing.
