Round 23 saw some disappointing performances from top recruits, as a Crows midfielder returned.

As the season nears its end, our ranking is starting to solidify, especially within the top four, but there is still movement outside of that.

Who's making the most impact in their new colours? Welcome to the weekly rankings of the Recruit of the Year contenders for 2025, with Round 23 giving us plenty to consider.

3John Noble (-) 

Noble didn't have the same impact he usually does as his side was defeated by 35 points, but due to his consistent season, he stays put in our rankings.

Noble only gathered 18 disposals and wasn't impacting the ball movement from defence in the way he has all season.

The defender has been very consistent all season for Damien Hardwick, averaging 25 disposals. It will be hard for Noble to drop out of the top three of our rankings come season's end.
