For the second week in a row, our AFL Rookie Rankings have seen two new faces move into the top six, while further change higher up the board has also taken place following Round 7.
A Suns youngster has joined a teammate in our Rookie Rankings, with the first-year utility joined by a Saints running machine in taking spots fifth and sixth overall following the weekend.
Their respective strong runs of form have seen another young Saint and a Dogs forward replaced in our rankings, while a host of rookies are pushing for a place in our top six following impressive performances.
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 (-)
It was another steady performance from the Demons wingman, who recorded 14 touches and a goal before being subbed out of last Wednesday's win over Richmond.
Windsor's goal would come right before the three-quarter time siren to extend Melbourne's lead to 23 points at a crucial juncture in the match.
The teenager was put on ice in the last term with the game seemingly out of reach for the Tigers, with Windsor likely to gain from the sub change deep into his first campaign.

With the form of the top three in our Rookie Rankings strong, it seems Windsor is more likely positioned with the chasing pack of Wilson, Graham and others.
