Our Rookie Rankings for 2024 has extended to a top six, with a second-year Bulldog and a Saints youngster breaking in for the first time this season following the change.
Every six weeks our rankings will expand with an additional wrung, with the first change of the year seeing two new faces named as GWS forward Harvey Thomas makes way.
The top end of our rankings has seen a new Sun move up two places, while the gap between first and second only grew further over the weekend.
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

4. Caleb Windsor (-1)
A bye week for the Demons sees Windsor slide from the top three following a consistent opening six matches to start his maiden campaign.
Windsor has slipped from the top due to the former of fellow top draft selections Harley Reid and Colby McKercher, with the Demons wingman now having a chance to move back up the order when Melbourne returns this Wednesday night against Richmond.

Windsor has thrived in space this year, which will again be the case on Anzac Day eve when the Demons take to the MCG.
