Former John Cahill Medallist and one-time All-Australian Chad Wingard has ranked 36th in the AFL Players’ Top 50 for 2015.

The rankings, published throughout this week on AFL.com.au, have been informed by a survey run in conjunction with the AFL Players’ Association.

Every AFL player was quizzed in the survey, with 105 players receiving a vote.

Wingard was previously rated at 34^th on the rankings and highly regarded for his ability to kick multiple goals and stand up in big moments.

His quieter 2014 campaign was nonetheless studded with key performances, including a four-goal against the Crows in Round 2, five goals and mark of the year nomination against Fremantle in Round 8 followed by a 30-disposal effort against the Bulldogs in Round 14.

His four-goal effort against the Dockers in the first semi final was crucial in helping the Power over the line and into a prelim final berth.

The 21-year-old is the only Port Adelaide player to rate in the 50-31 bracket of this season’s poll.
