Our Rookie Rankings are in after Round 17, with a young Demons defender returning to our top eight for the first time since the opening week of the season.
A Sun and Crow have swapped spots for the second week in a row, while a young Roo has fallen one spot after not playing over the weekend.
A Tigers debutant and Saints forward were among those to pick up honourable mentions from Round 17.
Criteria:ย 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 2023 season will not be considered.
I.e. players such asย Sam Darcy,ย Finn Callaghanย andย Jye Amissย are ineligible, having already played anย AFLย match prior to Round 1, 2023.ย
Round 17 Honourable Mentions:
Sam Banks
Anthony Caminiti
Cooper Harvey
5. Reuben Ginbey (-)
Ginbey was unable to have the same impact we've seen from him this year when his side came up against the Lions at the Gabba on Saturday, with Brisbane's engine room dominant from the offset.
The young Eagle managed a dozen disposals (seven contested) to go with three clearances and three tackles in his rotating role through midfield.

Ginbey finds himself with some space between sixth and fourth and looks unlikely to be moving from his current spot for the time being.
