With the AFL season already a third of the way through, we've had a go at ranking the top 10 recruits who have impressed so far.

9. Jake Lever

After copping some flack from Adelaide team mates when he left, and the Melbourne supporters once he came across, Lever's start to the season was poor. With coach Simon Goodwin saying it will take at least half the season for Lever to get going, we are starting to see that he already has. With Melbourne improving over the past month, Lever has been a major reason for this.

Lever is averaging 2.5 intercept marks (above average) this year, as well as 3.5 rebound 50's and five marks a game.
