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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
