Official AFL Player ratings: full coverage
Now the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Vero, have recognised Selwood as the second-best player in the competition.
Champion Data's statistics show that since the start of the 2011 season Selwood ranks second in the competition for inside-50s per game and third for score assists.
In addition, Selwood’s kicking efficiency forward of centre is the best of the top-50 ball-winners and he has laid the third-most tackles of the top-20 ball-winners.
"Not that many people would know that he's one of the fittest players in the AFL, so he's got the ability to run all day and burn you off, even in the last quarter," Carlton star Andrew Carrazzo told AFL.com.au.
The Official AFL Player Ratings will be launched on Thursday, May 9.
The ratings are the result of the most sophisticated, detailed and wide-ranging statistical system ever devised for AFL footy. Official AFL Player ratings will allow fans to determine where more than 650 listed players rank against each other.
A player's most recent 40 matches are used in the calculation of his rating.
