I was at Casey on the weekend and was surprised at the aggression that Woonaeamirri showed towards the opposition. He attempted to shirtfront Coburg players on at least 3 occasions. He is quite dangerous in this situation because he is very solidly built in the upper body and shoulders and not being tall can get you under the chin. I dont remember him being this aggressive when he made his debut in 2008. Perhaps the long run of injuries has frustrated him a little. He might be another Pickett. Perhaps a good thing - make the opposition players a bit wary. Theres not a lot of mongrel in most of our other players.

    I was there and totally disagree....think you are reading a bit too much into some basic aggression. He isn't an aggressive player and to start a thread based on a few bits of play in ONE match is over the top

    Was overly happy he got through uninjured however

    Let's hope he lasts more than 2 years playing with us...

    I thought his effort was top shelf on saturday. I will agree that he put the body in as opposition were trying to work the ball out of D, but i didnt see him shirtfront anyone or put in anything that could be called a cheap shot.

    I think Wonna is doing the right thing and trying to show his endeavour and working overtime to get back in the side....which is fantastic.

    He isnt as fast as Davey but he will keep them thinking if he is going to make that sort of solid bump every time. Great stuff I say. Nothing there that would warrant attention by umpires or review unless he started going late.....which he wasnt doing.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
