AFL football is on the eve of a new season, filled with new promise. And the year is promising a new player to stand tall as its No. 1 performer - Collingwood midfielder Scott Pendlebury.
The admiration and fascination with Gold Coast midfielder and Brownlow Medallist Gary Ablett is difficult to shake.
But at a time when AFL coaches keep emphasising defence is the most important part of their planning, Pendlebury stands ahead of so many midfielders because of his ability to play in both halves of the field - and in both dimensions of the team playbook.
Pendlebury earns the ranking as the AFL's No. 1 player based on talent, performance, style - and promise in 2013.
Who follows behind him? We've listed Rucci's top 20 here - buy Saturday's Advertiser for the full top 50 and analysis of his reasoning, then have your say on adelaidenow.
