Our AFL Rookie Rankings continue to take shape through the early stages of the 2024 season, with another change coming to our top five after Round 2.
A GWS forward has returned to our top five after a week out by replacing young Roo Zane Duursma, while another North Melbourne draftee has moved up the order in swapping places with a Demons midfielder.
Selection Criteria: For our Rookie Rankings, we are ONLY 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 2024 season will not be considered. I.e. Rising Star eligible players such as George Wardlaw, Angus Sheldrick and Sam Darcy are ineligible, having already played an AFL match prior to Round 1, 2024.Â
Round 2 Honourable Mentions
Seth Campbell (Richmond)
Ryley Sanders (Western Bulldogs)
4. Harley Reid (-)
The No.1 pick was again impressive in spurts for the Eagles, with a leading highlight coming in the opening term in front of his home fans with some physical link-up play on the wing helping set up a shot on goal.
Reid recorded 17 possessions, laid four tackles and had three clearances in the loss to GWS as he continued to get a look across half-back and through the middle of the field.
