Gawn - a huge loss

Viney - obviously played underdone 

Brayshaw - disposals were amateurish 

Petty - tried but failed

Oliver - many irrelevant possessions 

Petracca - involved too late 

Rivers - loose but tried

Bowey - not the worst

Lever - played with passion

Harmes - not to standard

Langdon - had little input 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely noticed 

McDonald -  had no influence 

Fritsch - was obviously underdone 

Spargo - was easily outpointed 

Grundy - tried but ineffective 

Hunter - had little influence 

Sparrow - a nothing game

Chandler - took his chances

McVee - regularly looked lost 

Melksham - probably on field

Brown - our only forward

    I’m starting to worry Sparrow doesn’t have another level

    Hard on Bowser, Rivers and Chandler.

    Agreed. Rivers played well

    I thought Grundy was great not his fault the midfield was terrible.

    Certainly worked his way into the game as the solo ruck and credit to him. Needs to build some synergy with Trac and Clarry if we’re to win the centre clearances going forward.

    He’s going to earn his money this year if Gawn’s out for weeks, but he’d love having the number 1 mantle to himself.

    Tomlinson - was pleasingly solid

    Shrewd recruiting by us. Imagine how we'd be without Grundy now that Max is out

    @joeboy  Hunter - had little influence 

    I have to disagree. Hunter played very well in my opinion. I was at the game.  He was creative and smart with very few errors. Probably one of our best 3-4 players. 22 possessions.  15 kicks. 480 metres gained. Kicked a good goal.  Hit targets.  He was prominent and had influence.

    • 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.
