    Perhaps, though he was our 3rd highest for clearances behing trac and Oliver as our other mids weren't getting it done. Was a huge part of our momentum in the 3rd in my view. Got smashed all night and still provided a better target for us down the flank and wings than our other talls. He's not going to clunk contested marks in these conditions. Most of our players were poor tonight to be honest, perhaps an argument could be made for Hunter to be in there.

    And finished with 22 disposals, 1 goal 2 and our second most clearances. Probably the main driver of our comeback in the third and the only one that looked like he could carry the team to victory.

    I'll concede Gawn didn't play a great game. I just fail to see who played any better.

    Most of our team was rubbish tonight, I don't know why I'm bothering arguing semantics about who was slightly less poor than the others.

    6 May - kept us in the game during that dreadful first half.

    5 Petracca - based on the second half only.

    4 Oliver - also lifted his game after halftime.

    3 Fritsch - at least he can kick straight.

    2 Grundy - was better than Max on the night.

    1 Rivers, but hard to choose on a poor night for many.

    I don't think our midfield deserve any votes because when they were bad they were atrocious,. but no-one else stood up so ...

    None of the mids tonight.  They were completely outplayed.

    It's not that simple unfortunately. One or two mids can have good game and the whole midfield thrashed. Oliver, Viney and Petracca at least got us back in the third quarter. Supporting your argument May and Fritta were the only ones to really win their positions.

    Melb's problem is the depth of it's midfield compared to the good sides. Butters, Drew, Rozee, Boak, Horne Francis, Wines, etc are better than us. Collingwood has even better depth.

    • 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.
