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)

    Yep, Luke Jackson would of been pretty handy last year and in future years.

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
