Just looked at Jimma's twitter site and he refers to it. Furthermore, he was running laps at Junction Oval last week.

    And snaffled a ticket to the Brownlow without playing a game.

    Looking forward to seeing him in our forward line with Jurrah.

    Wona looked awesome in the intra-club game at Casey at the start of the year, he was set for a huge year

    Bring on 2010!

    Good news. I missed waching him this season. Can't wait to see him and Jurrah in the same foward line next year. He went to the brownlow because Aaron Davey took him.

    WE ALL HOPE HE IS INVITED ON HIS OWN ACCORD NEXT YEAR- ONE OF THE FAVOURITES TO WIN IT(CHARLIE)

    very much an overrated player at this stage in his career

    good to see him back on the track tho

    Agreed. The blokes has played two decent games and we're talking about brownlows?

    But by all means, good to hear he's back on the track. He certainly has potential.

    If he gets fit and plays regular games along with Jurrah and Davey that would equal some pretty awesome delivery by foot in our front half of the ground.

    Just had a heart attack reading Cam Schwabs Twitter page.

    "An elephant stamp for the first who can spell the surname of our exiting little player Aussie..."

    Im guessing he mistyped 'exciting'. :blink:

    I think that all the Brownlow talk was a bit of a joke guys.

    Agree. He had lost weight and looked very fit. He played on ball and had a fair bit of it and I was getting excited and then injured. Think he would do well playing at the feet of LJ with short stints on the ball.

    18 games as an elevated rookie (without a pre-season iirc) for 24.4. Only Robertson and Bate kicked more this year.

    He did fall away towards the end of last year, and he'll get more attention next year. Still.. 2 decent games?

    The thing that stuck in my mind was how all the players were talking up Wonna and Grimes all preseason. Grimes turned out to be right on the money, which doesn't garuantee Wonna would do the same but it is interesting. I will be paying careful attention to the same reports over this off season.

    I gave him the honors over Davey for that game, he seemed to be everywhere

    In 2008 I have to be honest and say I saw a very limited amount of Melbourne matches (too many Sunday games, the same day I worked every week, and to be honest, the money was more desirable than to see us get smashed each week). This year was different as I don't do Sunday shifts anymore and enjoyed seeing our kids running around this year! :) What I'm getting at is that I have not seen much of Wonna at all; only highlights of his breakout match against Fremantle last year. How do people see him as part of our future? How good was his first year overall? Should we expect him to be a permanent part of our team?

    Sorry if I'm sounding really stupid here, but it's hard for me to make an assessment of our good he is and how he fits in the side without having much knowledge of him.

    oh....times 100 ;)

    I can feel a bit of mercurial chemistry in the making there... those that understand synergy will be salivating :)

    The thing about Wona is that whilst he isn't particularly skillful (nice short pass), quick (handy but not lightning), tough or strong, he's a very good footballer. Reads the game faster than most, and takes the right option most times. The number of goals he was able to kick in a poor side highlights this. Next year I expect some very exciting moments from him!

  • Quote

    Yep, this guy is going to be vital to us as a small-forward next year. Him crumbing off of Jurrah (Jurrah crumbs his own crumbs, but still) and Watts developing, and Bate off of a flank, and guys like Petterd, Maric, Blease/Strauss?, and Morton, Sylvia and Davey rotating through the flanks, plus possibly pick 11/18 etc., [oops, forgot Jetta as well!] the forward set-up could begin to take some lethal shape.

    Might even play some quality time in the midfield-with Brock leaving could create opportunities like this

    Yep, eight of those goals were kicked in two games.

    In the other games he was a bit player. Check his possession stats.

    I'm not knocking him, I think he shows potential, and was looking great this pre-season, but people get carried away.

    An unproven talent atm imo.

    Disagree. From what I saw/can remember of last year, he is a good kick. 24 goals 4 behinds shows that. I also remember him spotting up leading forwards with good kicks too.

    He's also pretty strong for someone his size, and loves tackling.

    agree- great to see him sign a two year contract.

    Yes he is still unproven.

    But, what a great year it was from a rookie.

    At the start of 2009 he had reduced his weight and was ready to play stints in the midfield and then sit at the feet of Jurrah/Watts in the forward line.

    Bring on an injury-free Wona in 2010!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
