There has been some movement in our Recruit of the Year rankings following Round 17, with a Hawthorn defender returning to the list.
A quiet game from an Eagles leader sees him fall off the page, while midfielders from St Kilda and Adelaide press their case for the steal of the year.
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 17 giving us plenty to consider.
3Shai Bolton (-)
The Fremantle livewire remains in the hunt for the Recruit of the Year mantle despite a relatively quiet performance by his lofty standards.
In the surprise loss to Sydney, Bolton gathered 17 possessions (52.9 per cent effective), alongside five clearances and seven inside 50s.
However, the ex-Tiger struggled to get involved in scores, with stats indicating he was only included on two occasions in the defeat.
Bolton remains in third position, but only just.
