Where would you have them? 

Dogs have an excellent inside mid rotation even without Dunkley. I'd have them second after us. The wings or lack thereof is problematic but the core of their midfield is still excellent.

GWS have what should be one of the better starting trios in the league, with Green, Kelly & Cogs. Finn Callaghan & Lachie Whitfield as wing options too. 

I'd have Dogs #2 & GWS ahead of several teams listed above them on that list.

Alas the game is played on grass & not paper....!

    These articles are subjective and based on lasts years stats and trades. 

    Giants have / had a lot of talent but always fail to deliver.

    Hunter and Dunkley are two massive outs for the dogs, yes they still have Bont, Libba, Macrae and Treloar but losing talent has to hurt. 
     

    Cats are another year older, Danger is 32, Gutherie isn’t a gun. 
     

    Interesting season ahead, only 5/6 clubs with a real chance.

    My top 4 would be Melbourne, Carlton , Brisbane and Dogs.

    Richmond ranked at 5 is ridiculous as I would even have the filth ranked above them.

    He'd be, arguably, in the top half dozen players at Melbourne IMHO.

    There’s no arguably about it, no chance, wouldn’t even be top 10.

    Not sure about top half dozen...but Guthrie is a jet. Balanced & skilled, would compliment us really well actually!

    Regardless of where you rate Gutherie, we have arguably the no.1 midfield in comp, we’ve had the no.1 ranked defence over the last 2 seasons. We finished the H & A season last year 2nd after playing some ordinary predictable football in the back half of the season, along with a few injuries. An argument could be made for our depth compared to other top 4 hopefuls. Barring major injuries to a number of players there are simply no excuses this season, none. Top 2 finish is a must.

    If you just go by the center bounce starting four, you could reasonably argue that...

    Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Harmes

    and

    Grundy, Petracca, Brayshaw, Pickett

    ...would both be in the top 10. Neither would be first, but both sets would compete with any other team at a bounce.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
