Our AFL Rookie Rankings have seen a change ato the podium after Round 13, while a young Brisbane forward has broken into the top seven for the first time this year.
He replaces outgoing Magpies midfielder Lachie Sullivan and lands at sixth in our rankings, pushing a young Hawks tall down one place.
Tigers pair Kane McAuliffe and Seth Campbell have both earned honourable mentions for their efforts in Thursday's win over Adelaide, while Crows debutant Billy Dowling also gets a nod for his performance in the same game.
Selection Criteria:ย For ourย Rookie Rankings, we are ONLY selecting players who have made their debut this season.

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
Honourable Mentions:

5. Colby McKercher (-)
Another week on the sidelines for the North Melbourne young gun, whose return to the field remains unclear.
A foot injury continues to trouble the teenager, who only returned to running on the track last week.
A return could come for McKercher sometime in the next month, but the Roos are taking a cautious approach with their top draft selection.

The Roos speedster will continue to hold his place in our Rookie Rankings for the next few weeks at least given the runs he has on the board from the first half of the season.
