Matthews joins Melbourne after being selected with pick No.30 in the 2025 AFL National Draft, adding further spark to the club’s small-forward brigade. The 171cm Gippsland Power captain brings tackling power, pressure and genuine x-factor, having kicked 18 goals from 13 games in 2024 before a knee injury curtailed his 2025 season. A pocket rocket with explosive athleticism and the ability to fly for spectacular marks, Matthews now begins his AFL journey.
