Here is the second edition (40-31) of our top 50 AFLย players right now...
4. 37 - Adam Treloar
After nearly a decade as one of the league's most prolific ball-winners, Adam Treloar played out a career-best campaign in 2024, earning his first All-Australian blazer, polling a personal-best 26 Brownlow votes and kicking a career-high 16 goals.
Often criticised as a high-volume but relatively low-impact midfielder, Treloar shifted that narrative and complemented Marcus Bontempelli brilliantly this season, allowing the Bulldogs' captain more freedom to impact the scoreboard up forward.
His ability to rack up 30-40 disposals with incredible consistency remains one of his greatest strengths.
