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

Ryley Sanders (Western Bulldogs)
3. Caleb Windsor (-1)
Windsor collected another 16 disposals along with six marks, four inside 50s and 357 metres gained in Saturday's win over Hawthorn to add to an efficient start in the red and the blue.
While it wasn't his best outing of the year so far, the Demons wingman continued to offer outside run and chase along with some clean ball movement by foot and hand.
