...that's according to Nathan Jones on Twitter a few minutes ago.

Sure hope he's right! Would be great to see Wona strutting his stuff again on the big stage!

Go Dees!

    He looks in great shape. He has really trimmed down. I am sure with all his family watching from the stands he will play a blinder and vindicate the faith the club has shown him.

    Wona is in our long term plans if fully fit. Is young and exciting.

    He's got genuine goal sense, he's a good mark and crumber and importantly he's an accurate kick for goal (always important as a forward).

    He's also got good forward line pressure which is crucial these days.

    Jurrah, Bennel, Wona, Davey sounds a whole lot better than Betts, Yarran, Garlett

    As much as I'd like to agree with you. Betts, Yarran have been very solid

    and crumber

    Is he? I always thought of him as a small leading forward with good goal sense and always able to find space.

    If Wonna fires on saturday night we could win the game. He can lift the side, particularly up in Darwin.

    Might have to hit the Bentleigh Club & watch it live.

    If you saw his 4 goal game against freo, that was some awesome crumbing.

    But yes, I agree he is more a small lead up guy in the Medhurst mould.

    Always good to have a few strings to your bow though

    If you ask most commentators, it's "Gartlett". Sorry had to put that in because it really sh&$*s me that they can't pronounce his name right. Continue.

    BTW, very excited to see Aussie live in the AFL for the 1st time tomorrow night. I've seen him in 2 VFL games but never in the AFL (was overseal all of 2008). Up here in Darwin he should get a huge reception.

    Go Dees!!!!!

    It will be good to see Aussie back - he has been missed. (You've gotta really love the frog dance!)

    He's certainly a crumber too. His crumb off a Brad Miller or was it Green's marking attempt against Freo is the perfect example.

    The 21-year-old Melville islander has taken 21 months to get back into the Demons' premiership side.

    I'm moving to the Northern Territory, where we are apparently premiers.

    Ahh, the NT News. One day they will get something right and hopefully that was it.

    Some of the stuff they came up with in the 90's (when I lived there) made for a good laugh. I once was part of a front page story because a fishing boat I worked on broke down in the harbour.

    Still it was better than seeing Eddies head in the paper every day.

    All the best with your move. Hope things work out up there for you.

    Wonna is good on the lead but he still the only true natural crumbing forward on our list. Davey may end up back there in the latter stages of his career but at present I see it as close to our biggest deficiency.

    LOL.. Good one Jaded. Can I come up there to.

    Mate, you forgot Jetta. You can't forget Jetta. Jetta is one of the boys, the biggest 'goer' of the lot.

    Sun shining in Darwin at the moment. But as usual (since I've been here) a few clouds hovering around.

  • Quote

    Weather update (if anyone is interested), it has rained once today for about 10 mins. Not very heavy. Patches of blue sky. Plenty of cloud. None of it looks too menacing. Hot. Sticky.

    • 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.
