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.

6. Luke Hodge

Showing plenty of aggression and on field leadership, Hodge has been impressive in his tenure at the Lions since his shock move up north in last year's trade period. Although at times Hodge has looked rusty and slow, he still provides the younger players at Brisbane, in particular, the guidance and experience they need.

For someone who was going to retire, Hodge is averaging 18.6 disposals a game as well as 5.0 one per centers a game (elite) and 4.6 spoils (elite).
