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)
5. Reuben Ginbey (-1)
Saturday's record loss to Sydney will be a day Ginbey and the Eagles quickly look to put behind them, suffering a 171-point defeat at the SCG to claim their 13th loss of the year.
While Sydney were dominant from the start, Ginbey managed to find the ball on 19 occasions. He would record an equal season-low of three tackles despite the Eagles chasing all day however.
