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.

5. Sam Murray

When Collingwood pulled the trigger for unknown half back Sam Murray, many fans and experts questioned the decision to give up a future second round selection for an untried player. However, Collingwood's surprise trade has turned out to be a precocious talent and a rocket launcher off half back. Murray has already been nominated for the rising star and he continues to impress with his flair and willingness to run with the ball.

Murray is averaging 20.8 disposals (above average) as well as 2.3 inside 50's a game (above average).
