The top two recruits of the year thus far went head to head in Round 11, as two former Saints made names for themselves in blockbuster Saturday clashes.
A Crow continues to make his rise up the Power Rankings too after a weekend to remember, while a Docker forward drops slightly after a mediocre performance in the wet, relative to his standards.
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 11 giving us plenty to consider.
8. Tim Membrey (NEW)
Membrey's impact was undeniable in Collingwood's Saturday night win against North Melbourne, providing the goalkicking spark for the Magpies in the final term with two critical goals. For a far from full strength team, the late surge was impressive and highlighted the immense depth of the Magpies' group that has seen them return to premiership contention. He ended this match with eight score involvements from just ten disposals too, with his impact with ball in hand sensational.
Membrey has now kicked 14 goals for the season, fourth-most for the Pies thus far, and has proven to dynamise their forward line significantly. If he's able to sustain his scoring threat - he's failed to score a major just twice this season - there's a good chance he's a part of Collingwood's forward line deep into September.
