Hasn't that always been Richmond's problem in recent times? Great top tier of players, crap bottom tier/depth.
You talking about Darling or Stringer or both?
Maybe Lynch is just more athleticly gifted
Why the raised eyes Roughy is easily the better of the 2 players.

It's looking likely the reigning premiers will only have one in the top 50.
Team success is as much about the team

i think it's lynch's contested marking that sets him apart. there's this tendency to rate young players in the 'gonna be good pile' simply because they're young (they do it with bont cripps merret when they're already as good as their established counterparts). i think the future is now for lynch, he kicks goals in what has been a pretty average side. got no problem labeling him the best key position forward in the afl

Danger will be 1. Surely.
Rance would be 1 on most important though. I'd take him at the dogs before I'd take Danger.

12. Dustin Martin
Richmond
Midfield
Last year's ranking: 20
Official AFL Player Rating: 30
Debut: 2010
Games: 153
AFL Fantasy value: $646,000
The explosive Tiger won his first club best and fairest last year after moving into the midfield and developing his inside game. His numbers followed accordingly and he climbs 10 spots in the AFL Players' Top 50 to his highest ever ranking. In 2016 Martin racked up a career-high 31 disposals a game, as well as an average of over five clearances. The move into midfield cost him on the scoreboard, with the tough midfielder dropping from 24 goals in 2015 to just nine. However, the Tigers plan to get more attack from him in 2017 with the arrival of Josh Caddy and Dion Prestia to release him to the forward half more often.
11. Rory Sloane
Adelaide
Midfielder
Last year's ranking 30
Official AFL Player Rating: 8
Debut: 2009
Games: 141
AFL Fantasy value: $639,000
The tough, tenacious, inside mid emerged from the shadows of Patrick Dangerfield to win his second Malcolm Blight Medal and claim All Australian honours for the first time. He averaged over 25 disposals a game (inside the top 50) and seven tackles (inside the top 10). He also polled 24 votes in the Brownlow Medal (fourth overall) but was inelgible for that award.
10. Alex Rance
Richmond
Defender
Last year's ranking: 19
Official AFL Player Rating: 27
Debut: 2009
Games: 150
AFL Fantasy value: $461,000
The three-time All Australian defender continues to do it all. Ranked by his fellow players as the best defender in this year's AFL Players' Top 50 countdown, Rance can lock down on opponents, cut off forward forays and rebound offensively. He rated elite for disposals and intercepts last year, and was above average for kicking, metres gained, spoiling and defending in one-on-one contests. Has been consistent and durable in the last two years, having missed just two games, and placed runner up in the club's best and fairest last season after winning it in 2015.

Hooker should be in here considering Hurley got a spot. But i think the fact that he played forward the previous year wont help his cause.

Not saying he is top ten. He would have been in 2014. But based on michael hurley making the list i would think Hooker should in there around the top 30
Hooker was not top 10 in 2014...

In no universe is Hooker a top 10 player, as good as he is.
