The end of Round 15 has seen significant movement among our Rookie Rankings, including a lead change for the first time this year.
At the conclusion of the bye rounds we've extended our rankings to a top eight, opening up a spot for another in-form youngster to present themselves in our race as we reach the home stretch.
The change has seen a young Docker and a Hawks defender move into our rankings, while seven of the top eight have moved places.
Criteria:ย For ourย 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 asย Sam Darcy,ย Finn Callaghanย andย Jye Amissย are ineligible, having already played anย AFLย match prior to Round 1, 2023.ย
Round 15 Honourable Mentions:
Judd McVee (Melbourne)
Elijah Hewett (West Coast)
Cameron Mackenzie (Hawthorn)
7. George Wardlaw (-1)
Round 15 was a bye week for the Roos, with Wardlaw falling back the one spot in our rankings because of the lack of action.
The teenager has been an inside bull for the Roos since debuting in Round 10 to make a late push through the second half of the season.
