Only one subtle movement has occurred in this week's Rookie Rankings, as multiple top youngsters missed action through their club's mid-season bye or injury.
2024 Pick 2 Finn O'Sullivan has continued his rise up the rankings after making his entrance in Round 14, as the Roos notched a stunning upset over Carlton on Saturday.
Meanwhile, strong outings from Fremantle's Murphy Reid and Brisbane's Levi Ashcroft have seen the duo maintain the leading spots.
Mid-season recruit Mani Liddy was also solid in his contribution for the Power despite their loss to the Swans, as was Essendon debutant Vigo Visentini.
St Kilda top ten pick Alix Tauru also made his long-awaited debut in the AFL arena.
Selection Criteria: Zero Hanger's Rookie Rankings ONLY consider players who have made their debut this season. Other players who may still be eligible for a Rising Star nomination but have already made their debut before the 2025 season will not be considered. I.e. Rising Star eligible players such as Nate Caddy, Dan Curtin and Connor O'Sullivan are ineligible, having already played an AFL match before Opening Round, 2025. Suspension does not make a player ineligible for our Rookie Rankings.Â

Trainor had just 12 disposals on the wing for the Tigers as the Bulldogs piled on a heap of scoring pain, but managed to record four score involvements nonetheless, the third-most for Richmond on a down day.
