This is such sad news to hear. i have actually dropped a few tears, and i never met the man.

But that photo of Jimmy and Matthew celebrating our win from 2 years ago should become an icon of the club. It says it all.

If anybody has a copy of it i hope the upload it at some stage

R.I.P. Matthew Wonaeamirri...

Sad news Aussie and my thoughts are with you.

I lost my mother on Saturday after a 12 mth battle with cancer and I can only add my sympathies understanding the pain.

Lost my mother to the same horrible disease. Sincere condolences to you and your family and to Aussie and his family.

Such a tragedy. I could only imagine the pain of an unexpected passing of a loved one.

My heart goes out to Austin and his family.

Demon Hill; I am very sorry to hear of your loss also. My condolences to you and your family.

Thanks for putting this up SD. I hope this photograph is never forgotten. To me it has always represented the "New Demons" Now i hope it takes on an even bigger meaning.

Next season we must all remember to help Aussie when he is on the ground. He will be playing for his Dad.

The picture of Mr. Wonaeamirri and Jimmy Stynes hugging after that win against Brisbane will always live in the memory.

Genuinely one of my all time favourite footballing moments (now memory).

Condolences to the Wonaeamirri family and the Tiwi community.

At times, like this, footy can seem like it's just a game. My heart goes out to Aussie, I hope he remembers all the good times he has had with his dad, over as many turtles as he can handle!

When he comes back, let's make sure Aussie knows he has another family here, who are willing to support him all the way. Because at times like these, footy can be more than a game. It can provide a support network, that whilst it cannot replace what has been lost, can provide the impetous to move forward in the next chapter of your life with love, support, courage and conviction.

The Melbourne Football Club is a family Aussie, and we'll be here to help you all the way through this and forward.

Remember the good times mate, there's one moment in particular that sits in all Melbourne supporter's minds and hearts. It's etched in MFC history and your father's legacy will forever live on through you.

A tragic loss not only for Aussie and his family, but as it appears, for the local community too.

My thoughts go out to all who are affected, especially little Aussie.

It is just another sad reminder that life is short and you never know when it will all be taken away from you.

We may have lost 600 games of playing experience but there is one great big stark life experience for everyone at MFC to make the most of everything you do whilst you can still do it........... (and then look at the president and work even harder)!!!

I was shocked to hear the bad news

Terrible tragedy. my thoughts also go to Aussie, family and friends.

I never meet him, but seemed like a ' larger than life ' personality

His memory will last forever. (and my memory of the man)

Ps: My sympathy also to Demon Hill.

May they both rest in peace.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
