We have a new face among our Rookie Rankings after 10 rounds, while a handful of contenders continue to emerge in pressing their case for a top seven spot.
Our top two avoided swapping spots despite both young stars playing key roles over the weekend, while a gun Sun has moved into seventh as one of three shifts among our Rankings following Round 10.
But it's the honourable mentions that are gaining more and more attention as we near the bye rounds, with Risint Star nominee Josh Weddle and Hawthorn teammate Cameron Mackenzie continuing to impress.
New Roo George Wardlaw got his career off on the right foot against the Swans, while another Hawk in Seamus Mitchell will be one to watch over the coming rounds.
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 10 Honourable Mentions:
Ollie Lord (Port Adelaide)
Josh Weddle (Hawthorn)
George Wardlaw (North Melbourne)
Cameron Mackenzie (Hawthorn)
4. Reuben Ginbey (-)
It was a Sunday to forget for all 23 Eagles on the field at Launceston on Sunday, with Ginbey among those failing to perform to the standard requested of them.
The young Eagle battled in the opening half as he continues to hold a leading role under Adam Simpson, with Ginbey kept to 10 disposals and three tackles for the game, the latter being a new low for the Dunsborough native.
