A Graders

How do we define A Graders?

Can we do a club by club list?

Everyone's definition of an A-Grader is different i believe.
For me, Port have 3. We would have a lot of B to B+ type players though

I'd probably have Murphy in there for the Blues, not a Kruezer fan?

Where would you fit Rockliff & Gibbs?

Any GWS representatives?

To his defense he whipped up the list pretty bloody quick, Sauce would have to be squeezed in there.

How would I define it? One or more of the following


- Ranked as elite by champion data - they know what they are talking about.
- Multiple All Australians or at least somewhere close to the mark (i.e multiple 40 man squads)
- High up in their clubs best and fairest consistently

I reckon that’s pretty spot on, but I reckon You could add Mills to that bracket list... Mills and Heeney will be A grader without a shadow of a doubt.
Rampe and Grundy would have to be very close too. Just going on form the last 2 years

Agree with this Boon. Was being conservative with my first pick. All of them have cases to be classed as A Grade players. I would probably swap Dixon with Wingard but that's just my preference.
