...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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
