5. Kade Kolodjashnij (Gold Coast Suns)
Despite his tender age, Kolodjashnij has shown he is up to the standard both physically and technically and has been a shining light in Gold Coast’s push for its first finals appearance.
As a small defender, the 18-year-old has shown why he was a top five pick in the 2013 AFL Draft with his impressive performances earning him a NAB Rising Star nomination in Round 10.
Regardless of whether or not Gold Coast make finals this season, the young man of Ukrainian descent can look back on a successful debut season.
