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.

    Very sad news, tragic way to die. I hope your ok Aussie and the Wonaeamirri family.

    I'll never forget those scenes of Matthew with Jim Stynes in 2008 in our one point win against Brisbane

    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.

    I just don't know what to say. It's just such a terrible thing to happen to good people. Condolences Aussie.

    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.

    Tragic loss. Sincere condolences to Aussie and his family.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
