Pie back in pole position, Saint makes maiden appearance: AFL Rookie Rankings

See how our Rookie Rankings have shifted after Round 10 📈

EDITOR | May 23, 2022 - 11:39am

We're nearing the halfway mark of the season and our Rookie Rankings continue to shift at the top.

The Round 10 results have seen another change in pole position, while a young Saint has broken into the top six for the first time this season, taking the placing of an injured Docker.

A young Tiger has further risen in our rankings, while a Bomber had arguably his worst performance of the season.

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 2022 season will not be considered.

I.e. players like Jai Newcombe, Jake Bowey, Corey Durdin and Sam De Koning are ineligible.

Round 10 Honourable Mentions

Ben Hobbs (Essendon)
10 disposals, two goals, three tackles, 90% disposal efficiency

A tough night for the Bombers, but their young draftee stood tall on several occasions to be their only multiple goalkicker.

Jake Soligo (Adelaide)
19 disposals, one goal, eight contested possessions

A strong performance for the young Crow, playing forward and linking up in multiple avenues to goal.

Sam Butler (Hawthorn)
Nine disposals, two goals, five score involvements

A memorable first win in the brown and gold for Butler, booting two goals as the Hawks claimed the upset of the weekend with a win over Brisbane in Tasmania.

1. Nick Daicos (+1)

Consistency has been key for the Magpies' young gun, who once again played his role and finds himself back in pole position.

Daicos has rekindled his best brand of football in returning to a half-back flank, using his precision passing and ability to win the ball to the betterment of his side.

Added 23 disposals to his season tally, while also recording six contested possessions, three clearances, six intercepts and went at a disposal efficiency of 73.9 in the wet.
