The varied mix of performances from recruits in Round 4 shaped a number of results across an intense weekend of footy.
Two Suns have emerged as players to watch while the top two remains unchanged after strong efforts in the midfield by each player respectively.
So, who's making the most impact in their new colours? Welcome to the weekly ranking of the Recruit of the Year contenders for 2025, with Round 4 giving us plenty to consider.
Selection criteria: Only players who were on an AFL playing list at a different club in the prior season will be considered as recruits in these rankings.
1. Jack Macrae (-)
It's hard to knock Macrae off the perch as St Kilda keep winning games in imposing fashion. Travelling to Adelaide and dismantling the Power on their own deck, with a returning midfield superstar in Zak Butters no less, is incredible, and Macrae once again had his fingerprints all over the contest.
He led St Kilda with 28 disposals, nine clearances and five inside 50s, only outdone by Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Jack Sinclair for metres gained. Furthermore, he was involved in nine of St Kilda's 24 scores, bringing his percentage up to 36.5% for the season. Only Toby Greene, Chad Warner and Sam Darcy are involved in a higher percentage of their team's respective scores.
Macrae continues to march the Saints toward September, and he'll need to continue to do so, with St Kilda's next three games against teams that played finals last season.
