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.

    • 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.
