Our Rookie Rankings have seen another fresh face added to the top eight for the second week in a row, while the podium has also undergone a shake-up.
A Hawks young gun has edged out several contenders for eighth spot, taking over a GWS small forward, while a Roos speedster has slotted into second spot ahead of the final fortnight of the season.
A pair of Bombers rookies and a Suns midfielder were among the six players to earn an honourable mention from Round 22.
Selection Criteria:ย For ourย 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 before the 2024 season will not be considered. I.e. Rising Star eligible players such as George Wardlaw, Angus Sheldrick and Sam Darcyย are ineligible, having already played anย AFL match before Round 1, 2024.ย

Archie Roberts (Essendon)
Nate Caddy (Essendon)
Darcy Jones (GWS)

7. Shaun Mannagh (+1)
After coming back into our Rookie Rankings last week, Mannagh moves into seventh off the back of another formidable performance against Fremantle.
For the third week in a row, Mannagh had two goals and 12 disposals, with the mature-aged recruit's booting the match-sealing major on Saturday in Perth.
The crafty half-forward has proven to be a reliable role player for Chris Scott as the Cats mate another charge for the flag.
