Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson has revealed his top 50 players in the AFL, with the one-two combo of Patrick Dangerfield and Dustin Martin once again at the top of the list.

However, Robinson has switched the two stars compared to the AFL Players' top 50 countdown, and has the Geelong superstar as the game's number one player.

Fremantle's Nat Fyfe, Richmond's Alex Rance and Sydney's Lance Franklin round out Robinson's top five, with two of the Tigers' premiership stars at the top of the list.

The Cats do have three players inside the top 10, with Gary Ablett (sixth) and Joel Selwood (ninth) joining Dangerfield as Geelong's star power trumps all other sides.

Both South Australian clubs have the most players in the countdown, as Adelaide (seven) and Port Adelaide (five) have more than 20% of the representatives.

St Kilda is the only club in the league that doesn't have a player in the top 50.
