A new face has emerged in our Rookie Rankings for the first time, with a Hawks flanker jumping into the top six to make his maiden appearance for the year.
His move up has seen a young Blues wingman fall out of the top seven, while a Saints forward has dropped to seventh spot.
A rising Sun continues to impress on his trajectory toward a podium spot, while the top two continue to trade blows as our incumbent No.1 holds his place in pole position for another week.
Criteria: 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. Rising Star eligible players such as Sam Darcy,ย Finn Callaghanย andย Jye Amissย are ineligible, having already played anย AFL match prior to Round 1, 2023.ย
Round 11 Honourable Mentions:

1. Harry Sheezel (-)
The Nick Daicos mimick came face-to-face with the Magpies star on Sunday as the Roos put up a valiant fight against the in-form contenders.
Sheezel would resume his role between midfield and the forward third on his way to collecting 21 disposals, six marks and three tackles while moving the ball at over 80% efficiency.
A boot to the head forced Sheezel to the sidelines during the second half, only for the teenager to influence the contest upon his return.
