Our Rookie Rankings have welcomed another fresh face following Round 11, while two players have moved up in our order following the weekend's action.
Collingwood's Joe Richards slots into sixth spot following an impressive start to his career, while fellow Magpie Lachie Sullivan, Hawks forward Calsher Dear, Lion Bruce Reville and Richmond's Mykelti Lefau all sit on the fringes a week out from further rankings expansion.
We'll move to seven spots in our Rookie Rankings after Round 12, opening up more opportunities for this year's crop.
Dear, Sullivan and Richmond's Seth Campbell each earned honourable mentions for their efforts in Round 11.

1. Harley Reid (-)
A few more fend-offs and high-flying grabs were added to Reid's highlight reel on Sunday in a heavy loss to Adelaide.
While the Eagles weren't able to compete as a team, Reid was able to offer some give something for West Coast fans to cheer about.
Shrugging off the likes of Josh Rachele and Rory Laird with ease played a part in the teenager's 14-disposal game, which included 11 contested possessions, four clearances and a goal.

The Eagles are a good chance to return to winning ways this weekend when they host St Kilda at Optus Stadium.
