Dan Hannebery and Adam Goodes have been selected among the Top 25 TAC Cup players in the competition’s history.

To celebrate the success of the TAC Cup since its launch in 1992 AFL Victoria has released the Top 25 players, featuring some of the best players in the modern game.

Hannebery and Goodes have been selected from a pool of over 1,000 former players to have been drafted into the AFL system over the last 25 years.

The final order ranked 1 to 25 to be revealed at the Morrish Medal on Sunday September 4.

Fourteen current AFL players are part of the list, including Luke Hodge, Gary Ablett Jnr, Scott Pendlebury, Jimmy Bartel, Sam Mitchell, Dan Hannebery, Robert Murphy, Joel Selwood, Jarryd Roughead, Dane Swan, Brent Harvey, Patrick Dangerfield, Nick Dal Santo and Steve Johnson, with 11 former AFL players completing the Top 25 with Matthew Scarlett, Chris Johnson, Justin Leppitsch, Jonathan Brown, Cameron Ling, Dustin Fletcher, Barry Hall, Matthew Lloyd, Adam Goodes, Brad Johnson and Chris Judd.

The players have been judged based on their achievements and impact upon the AFL competition with each having had to have played at least one TAC Cup game and at least 150 AFL games.

With 2016 marking the 25th year of AFL Victoria’s long-standing partnership with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Chief Executive Officer Steven Reaper said highlighting  the competition’s best former players showcases the depth of high quality talent that has passed through the U18 competition.

“The Top 25 provides an opportunity to look back at the history of the TAC Cup and its players, highlighting the important role the competition plays in developing players both on and off the field, which should never be underestimated,” Reaper said.

“It was an unenviable task of narrowing down the long list of incredible former TAC Cup talent to a list of 25 players, but the calibre of players that missed out on selection underlines the depth of talented players helped in their development by our regions and their staff.
