We're five rounds into the 2022 AFL season and our Rookie Rankings are taking further shape, with more shuffling between the top five after the weekend's action.
An emerging Docker has risen up the leaderboard for the second straight week, while a crafty Crow's goal tally has him in good stead.
A Hawks pair stood tall in their Easter Monday upset over Geelong, while a Bombers debutant was impressive despite a disappointing maiden match for the club.
For our Rookie Rankings, we are selecting players who have made their debut this season. Other players who may still be eligible for a Rising Star nomination but have already made their debut prior to the 2022 season will not be considered.

2. Josh Rachele (+1)
The Crows livewire sits in the top 10 for the Coleman after five matches, having booted 12 goals after adding another two against Richmond on Saturday.
Rachele has become a required piece of Matthew Nicks' speartip and worked in a tremendous tandem alongside returning goalsneak Shane McAdam and talls Taylor Walker and Elliot Himmelberg.

The former Murray Bushranger has booted a goal in all five of his appearances so far this season and will be looking to extend that run when the Crows travel to Ballarat to face the Bulldogs in Round 6.
