MELBOURNE Football Club has made changes to its list for the 2026 AFLW season, with Jemma Rigoni departing the club to take up an opportunity with Collingwood.
Rigoni is the daughter of AFL player Guy, and made her debut for the Demons this season.
She pulled on the Melbourne guernsey eight times over the year.
A highlight over the season was her stunning maiden goal, scored against Sydney in Round 10.
Melbourne General Manager of AFLW, Clare Pettyfor, thanked Rigoni for her contribution to the Demons.
“We are grateful to Jemma for everything she’s given to the Demons over her tenure,” Pettyfor said.
“Jemma started with us as a train-on player before her draft year, which is testament to her commitment to our program over a number of years.
“Her professionalism over this period has been exceptional, and we are pleased that Jemma will have the opportunity to continue her AFLW career at the Pies. On behalf of the club, we wish her all the best for the future.”
The AFLW Trade period concluded on Wednesday 10 December, with the Telstra AFLW Draft set to take place on Monday 15 December.
