For me it was Cox ranked at 98. Nick Nat is ranked 13th though :)

    Not bad, problem is that it's always so hard to quantify everything a player does in a single numerical value. If you look at it comparatively, very few people would take Rioli over Swan, Watson, Dangerfield or Murphy.

    Then positionally it's quite odd, Naitanui, McEvoy and Goldstein as the top 3 rucks is not the order anyone would have. Hawthorn have 3 of the top 4 forwards in the game. And once again true key defenders are way down on the list.

    Overall not a bad attempt but I don't think players will ever accurately boil down to one number.

    Absolute joke.

    They don't value the things that anyone other than midfielders do! Therefore they won't give you anything but midfielders. The top 10 were indeed some of the top 9 midfielders plus the best forward but not the best 10 players in the comp!

    The very fact that Cox is way below Natanui in it makes it lose all relevance to me. Sure, Natanui might be more of an X-factor player, but Cox is the one that plays good all game every game.
