...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!!!!!

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.

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

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
