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 15 giving us plenty to consider.
3Shai Bolton (-)
Shai Bolton's versatility is one of the biggest keys to Fremantle's five-game win streak, this week going forward for almost the entirety of the match and kicking two goals. He attended just 21% of centre bounces, the lowest rate of the season, and yet it didn't matter as he still made an impact when he found the ball.
From 15 disposals, Bolton had three clearances and six score involvements, also winning eight contested possessions. On paper, it's a modest stat line, but Shai Bolton's influence goes beyond raw numbers with his ability to apply pressure and create chaos inside 50. He ranks fourth in the league for forward 50 ground ball gets with 2.3 per game and has become a defining feature of Fremantle's resurgence into the top eight and toward the top four.
