Melbourne
Kate Hore
Karen Paxman
Tyla Hanks
Lauren Pearce

The final team of 21 – including a vice-captain and skipper – to be announced at the W Awards on Tuesday, April 20.

 

Karen Paxman is a superstar. 
 

Also enjoyed how much her mullet upset the sooks of the 7AFL Facebook page.

Eden Zanker very stiff. 

Slowish start to the season. She's lit it up since going into the midfield

Agree she has changed our season results from the centre! 


Goldrick would have been a cert if she hadn't missed games through injury

Paxman is a dead set legend. Full stop.

This comp has been going for 5 years and this is here 5th AA selection. Remarkable consistency.

She should be on our banner @Demonland

Absolutely pumped for Tyla Hanks for her first nod in what has been a sensational season. 

Well deserved.

Agree with Paxman. I think the best player in the comp. Tayla Hanks is only a couple of years behind her. As much as I like Goldrick I doubt she would have been a cert.

It will be a tough midfield to break into. Are there any better rucks than Lauren Pearce going around - she seems the most likely to earn a spot. One of Hanks or Paxman might slide on to a flank or the bench, but I'm not sure there will be room for both.

Not sure how she qualifies, but based on the nominees, Tyla Hanks must be favourite to win the rising star award this year. Nobody on that list has come close to her impact.

I suspect Ellie McKenzie will be high up in the selectors minds.  The number of times I heard the media refer to ‘number one draft pick...’.    

But I love Tyla, she is so clean, so clever. Can’t you just tell that she is loving her footy, a clear RS favourite for mine!

Is Lauren Pearce related to Daisy Pearce?

No relation.

The only other ruck who's any competition is Moody for Carlton. But I'd think L.Pearce has her covered.

The rules are a little different for AFLW Rising Star - no games limit, under 21 not 20 on Jan 1 of the season. So it's a bit of a quirk that Tyla wasn't nominated in previous years and just turned 21 this past February. There's precedence though for an 'older' player with Huntington winning age 21 in 2020. So if they're going by impact and consistency, Tyla can't be ignored. Having said that, wouldn't be surprised if they give it to McKenzie for PR reasons.

So, Paxy is now a 5 time All Australian. Absolute superstar.

But clearly you need to play for Carlton, Collingwood or Richmond to get a look in. Lauren Pearce absolutely robbed. Lions only had one player too.

Congrats also to Tayla Hanks on her rising star win.

Agree L.Pearce hugely stiff and Hanks unlucky too.  Was a very strange side.  Collingwood have a key defender Livingstone who was incredible this year and didnt make it, which is a travesty as well.


It was a very stange side. How the hell did Katie Brennan end up as chf. Lauren Pearce was robbed of a ruck position with the carlscum player getting it. Why ??? She is no where near as good as Pearce. Would have thaught Kate Hore would have got a spot in the forward line as well. Maybe I am just too biased.

As someone on Twitter said, it was a side built on reputation rather than actual output. The leading goal kicked didn't even start on the bloody ground!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
