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
Round 22 Honourable Mentions:
Archie Roberts (Essendon)
Nate Caddy (Essendon)
Darcy Jones (GWS)
Calsher Dear (Hawthorn)
Daniel Curtin (Adelaide)
Will Graham (Gold Coast)
5. Logan Morris (-)
A difficult afternoon in the end for the Lions, who had their attack quelled in the final term to see their lead fade.
Morris was unable to have a resounding impact after his first-quarter goal, but would take a team-high two contested marks to end the day with seven disposals (five contested) and four marks for a return of 1.1.

The Brisbane forward and his teammates will be keen to right any wrongs from Round 22 when they return to the MCG this week to face fellow 2023 grand finalists Collingwood as they look to move back into the top four.
