2010 Player Review - # 33 Austin Wonaeamirri

Shook off an injury-ridden couple of years to show glimpses of what he is capable of. There is competition for his spot but at his best he can have a big impact on a game. Played the last six games to show that he is part of the future - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

Aussie has the potential to play a significant part in our future, if he can get his body right, and become fully match fit.

Watching the Tiwi Turtle link up with the Walpiri Wizard was poetry in motion at times.

These 2 guys are the epitome of synnergy.

Can't wait to see them go round in 2011.

- Aussie must keep his body right.

keep fit and injury free Aussie !! Looking forward to some entertaining footy :)

It made me giddy in round 22 to see Jurrah and Wonna fighting for the ball. There was one moment in the pocket on the northern side at the Punt Road end where they were both running for the ball, and Wonna had a snap from a near-impossible angle and almost kicked the goal. Had he given it to Jurrah, it would have been a goal. But they're going to be a formidable part of our forward line!

Get fit Wonna. last year you came back fatter than a pig and it was un-professional. Thing is year before he looked a million dollars in the pre-season and had trimmed right down. he needs to get back VERY fit this time and he will improve on 2010.

Hope you are right but he seems to go misssing for long periods in the games I have seen him play.

Hope that is just a fitness thing.

He needs to have an injury free 2011 and play a lot better than this year.

Until then The jury is still out for me.

definitely would be one the least fittest blokes at the club, early season he was fat by normal bloke off the street standards.

given that it was promising he started to show something towards the end.

Very much due for a full season. we may be smart with his chronic lower back/hamstring injuries and ease off at times, so he doesn't lose weeks of fitness due to injury. He is not unlike Davey whose first years were littered with soft tissue injuries.

he showed in some games he is top quality so we need him.

Posted

Still first in line for the small forward job. Back in his first season he won us a couple of games off his own boot, and by my reckoning he's the only bloke currently in our team that's done that. Fit, he's easily best 22.

Every side needs one/2 players with the x factor and Liam & Aussie both provide have it. We must insure both are sensibly managed and can get on the park.

Didn't get to see the game yesterday but from all reports little aussie wonamerri played well, read the newspaper today and they had him in the best but didn't kick any goals so was just wondering where he played yesterday and how he went? Hoping for big things from the duo of LJ and Wona in 2011 n beyond!

From the audio he was involved in most of the significant forward play along with Jurrah & Bennell.

Brian Taylor was a rap for all three and his excitement levels were appropriate.

Big season for Wonna, seems he Jurrah & Bennell could cause sides a few problems if they get the consistency right. Three very different types as far as strength & weakness is concerned. A big plus for us.

Posted

yer forgot to include jamie with aussie n LJ but see him playing further up the ground on the wing with stints in the midfield as a X factor type, similar to the role cyril plays

I agree Fan, but all players must take some personal responsibility for their own fitness levels, diet etc., and not return after the Christmas break as fat as butter (or turtle meat?).

Posted

Needs to get fit, stay fit, get selected and...

get his hands on the ball more.

There alot of excitement about Wonna which I think is ahead of what he has produced to date.

Many speak fondly of the Jurrah/Wonna/Bennell and some attribute the X factor to them.

Well I have seen the X factor in Jurrah but Wonna has not shown enough for that accolade.

Hope he knuckles down and performs next year.

Posted

Don't quite see the x factor in Wonna as well but I think he's a talent. He's a smart one touch player who has beautiful vision and excellent footskills. Good decisions on and off the ball.

Body is an issue with hammies and weight and needs a bigger tank. Bennell and Wonna will be good players.

Posted

Hrob, From the footage i saw on Fox, Wonna played in the middle for some stage of the game!! Imagine Davey and (very) fit Wonna rotating out of the middle? Gigidy gigidy!

Lets not forget, it takes these indigenous boys a couple of years to get used to Structured Training.

Up North they just play the game, so i really hope Ausin can get in a full pre season this summer, even if it is a little less than the main group. Manage those soft tissue problems...

Rash generalisation. Its not a trait limited to indigenous players. Jack Watts is a point in question. For every Tom Scully there is an indigenous player with similar fitness traits.

Do you have to go through every statement with a Red Pen RR?

I have spent time up in the Top End, They don't train up there. They just play Footy.

I am not talking about school boys.

Glad your experience taught you to lump them in one category.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
