There's been plenty of movement amongst the top eight after Round 16, with several recruits demonstrating their case to move toward top spot.
A former Swan has continued his ascent while a Sun has returned to the form that has seen him become highly touted throughout the season.
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 16 giving us plenty to consider.
4John Noble (+1)
The Suns heard the noise and delivered a superb response on Saturday, dominating the Demons for much of the contest. Noble's 29 disposals at almost 90% efficiency was the standout performance, his elite kick generating a team-high seven rebound 50s, three inside 50s and 624 metres gained. Noble's nine score involvements are a season-best also, launching five scoring chains off half-back.
Against Essendon under the roof next week, Noble has a prime opportunity to cement himself into the top three of these power rankings and get Gold Coast comfortably inside the top eight. While at the Pies last year, Noble collected 19 disposals at 90% efficiency against the Bombers in the Anzac Day draw.
