2015 Players’ Top 50 – Full List

It’s now less than a month until the stars of the game take to the field for Round 1 of the AFL season.

In the lead-up, aflplayers.com.au (in conjunction with afl.com.au) will reveal the top 50 players in the game, as voted by the players.

Ahead of the first group of players (50-41) being unveiled on Tuesday, March 1, we’ve compiled last year’s top 50, complete with highlights of all 50 players.

If that doesn’t get you excited about footy returning, we’re not sure what will.
