Ranked by Channel 9.

10. Oscar McInerney - Brisbane

9. Reilly O'Brien - Adelaide

8. Kieren Briggs - GWS

7. Jarrod Witts - Gold Coast

6. Luke Jackson - Fremantle

5. Brodie Grundy - Sydney

4. Rowan Marshall - St Kilda

3. Sean Darcy - Fremantle

2. Tim English - Western Bulldogs

1. Max Gawn - Melbourne

Can Melbourne's no.1 man retain his spot at the top of this list?

Club captain Gawn has truly done it all, guiding his side to a flag in 2021, their first since 1964.

Some teams figured out just how big his impact was in 2023, but Gawn still had his way with most of his opponents in the air.

The Demons have been struggling with off field questions surrounding the club's culture, with Gawn quick to step up and defend himself and teammates.

"We have issues galore at our football club... We have a leadership meeting every week, and we have since I've been at the club," Gawn said.

There will be many eyes on the 32-year-old, but he knows he's able to perform under pressure.

    Still a bit wild to me that we have had 3 of these on our list in the last few seasons.

    LJ really is the one that got away, despite the sizable compensation. The outcome in 2023 could have looked a lot different and we would have avoided the whole Brodie Grundy experience (schmozzle)

    He also would have been handy in the back half of 2022.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
