Douglas has gathered 223 possessions, taken 62 marks and booted 13 goals in 2013, which equates to 183.3 player ratings points.

Sydney Swans midfielder Josh Kennedy (177.6) and Douglas' Adelaide teammate Patrick Dangerfield (177) are among the other leading scorers in 2013.

Kennedy is currently rated No. 2 overall after starting the season at No. 7.

Dangerfield has leapt from No. 15 to No. 3 since the season began.

Another of the top 10 leading scorers to have surged up the player ratings table is Carlton little man Jeff Garlett.
