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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
