Codesports which is an online offshoot the Herald Sun has an an article entitled "Lauren Wood’s Top 50 AFLW players leading into season 10". (I can't find a link for non subscribers but it will probably end up in the little paper later in the week).

There are three Demons in the list but not one in the top 10.  

The Melbourne players are -

11. Tyla Hanks

14. Kate Hore

48. Tayla Harris 

The top 10 at this stage before the bounce of the first ball are:-

1. Jasmine Garner (North Melbourne)

2. Ebony Marinoff (Adelaide)

3. Monique Conti (Richmond)

4. Ash Riddell (North Melbourne)

5. Ally Anderson (Brisbane)

6. Emily Bates (Hawthorn)

7. Eliza West (Hawthorn)

8. Charlie Rowbottom (Gold Coast Suns)

9. Chloe Molloy (Sydney)

10. Georgie Prespakis (Geelong)

    Good to see the recognition for Tyla. But Kate? Shoulda been higher.

    lauren pearce is clearly one of the best rucks in the competition and easily in the top 50

    i'd argue tahlia gillard is one of the best key defenders in the game and should be in there too

    no liv purcell in the top 50?

    AFLW Dees have been underrated for years. Injury hit hard last year and missed out. This year the team needs to stay healthy to be a chance. There is plenty of talent and blend of youth and experience.

    Eliza West wishes she was as good as Kate Hore.

    My Tip Eliza Mac will rocket up this list this year. And I’d love Banno to go up a level or two with some consistency.

    Pearce too injury prone for the top 50 these days.

    Gillard very close, probably injuries and a dip of form last year costing her.

    Liv Purcell absolutely top 50 and Chappy too. Chappy not being mentioned by now in this thread shows how underrated she is!

    I wouldn't have Shell Heath as I'd go with more skilled players but you probably couldn't pick 50 players before her to field a side either.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
