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.

8. Jaidyn Stephenson

After being selected with pick six in the National Draft, Stephenson has already received a rising star nomination. After being diagnosed with a heart condition, it didn't stop the Pies selecting the talented teenager. Stephenson hasn't looked out of place on the big stage, seamlessly fitting into the Collingwood's forward line structure.

Stephenson is averaging 1.3 goals a game (above average) along with a 72.2 disposal efficiency rate (above average) as well as 3.3 tackles a game (above average).
