Some debutants caught the eye over the weekend to give our Rookie Rankings some more names to consider in the home stretch, while a first-year Lion has returned to our standings after a strong few weeks of form.
His return comes at the cost of young Hawks tall Calsher Dear, who could only amass the one disposal before being subbed out of Sunday's win over West Coast.
Geelong first-gamer Lawson Humphries caught the eye with his run and ball use at half-back in his debut against Essendon, while Richmond Mid-Season Draft recruit Jacob Blight also earned an honourable mention for his efforts in his maiden performance.
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 before 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 before Round 1, 2024.
Honourable Mentions:
Lawson Humphries (Geelong)
Jacob Blight (Richmond)
Will Graham (Gold Coast)
5. Logan Morris (-1)
A quiet night for the Lions youngster on Friday, who - like the aforementioned Dear - managed just one disposal before being subbed out.
Morris struggled to get into the game against Melbourne and was eventually replaced by Jaspa Fletcher in the third term.
The fall in form, which coach Chris Fagan will hope is an anomaly, came after Morris' quick rise just several games into his career to see him sit fourth in our Rookie Rankings last week.

Disposals
Morris remains a chance to hold his place in Fagan's side for this week's clash with Adelaide at home.
