Robinson – along with Hawthorn’s Ricky Henderson – were the only two wingmen to gain the ‘elite’ rating.

Champion Data ranks players as ‘elite’ by taking into account what position they play, how long they play in that position and how much above or below the AFL average they perform in each position.

The reigning premiers have ‘five’ elite players, although five-time All-Australian defender Alex Rance (ACL) is not among those Tigers.

But his fellow defenders – Shane Edwards, Nick Vlastuin and Sydney Stack – as well as superstar Dustin Martin and club best and fairest Dion Prestia were ranked as ‘elite’.

Every club has at least one player in Champion Data’s top-51.

Patrick Cripps (Carlton), Nat Fyfe (Fremantle), Max Gawn (Melbourne) and Hugh Greenwood (Gold Coast) were the lone representatives from their clubs.

Meanwhile, Gary Ablett may be entering his last AFL season, but Champion Data believes the Little Master has still got it.

Ablett was rated as an ‘elite’ general forward.
