Quarterbrain on Ten news about to talk about a 'Demons star' set to quit.

Obviously talking about Aussie, and man, he got his words twisted. Will definitely be rookied if he doesn't come back soon but we aren't getting rid of him that easily.

Wona has certainly had a very rough trot, and the Club has shown him an amazing amount of latitude and consideration.

But all that said - Wona really owes it to the Club to let them know well before the desisting period if he is really prepared to make the commitment and the sacrifices needed to play AFL footy.

If he is not he surely cannot expect to occupy a place on the list. IF he could go to the rookie list then it could be an option - he is going to have his work cut out just to regain general and match fitness after a year out of AFL, however strong his commitment.

And someone mentioned AFL compassionate rules - I haven't heard of these. To be really cynical (and I am sure that I hear voices calling me paranoid), how could we possibly trust Herr Fuehrer and Anderson to not change the interpretation as and when they feel like it, like they do with the salary cap rules?

Was reported that he definitely wont play again this season, and career is quite likely finished - is very interested in playing for the NT Thunder next year? This was on Channel 10.

[DeeSpencer 25,687]

If he doesn't commit before the trade/delisting period then we simply make the call for him. That's not harsh, thats reasonable.

I like the idea of putting him on the rookie list if he still maintains interest but isn't 100% committed and back before the end of the season.

[dees189227 12,391]

They said on ch10 sport Wonna wont be back this year and he wants to play for a darwin team next year. He had dinner with Beamer and Jurrah the other night. So he is gone.

.......

Correct on both counts. For mine, his modest form and (lack of) conditioning for the past few years should have meant he is marginal at best anyway.

Time to cut him loose. We are not a sheltered workshop (ask Junior).

[Adzman 2,154]

He was a bright spot during some very dark days. Sad to see him go, but it is what it is and we have to move on.

No point even retaining him on the rookie list. Once he goes back to NT he isn't coming back. Besides, we could use that rookie spot to unearth another Nicholson type.

We are hungry for success, and we need players who are hungry for it.

I hope Sheedy hasn't been into his ear.

[dee-luded 2,959]

If, he wants out of Melbourne I'd hope we could maybe organise a trade with Brisbane for him.. A win/win is better than losing him. It's a tad warmer up there, & closer to home for him.

look on the map of aus... brisbane is thousands of ks from darwin plus a hop over to the tiwis. if he doesnt wnt to come back to melbourne hes not gunna want to play there.

[east gippsland demon 7]

It is a shame to see the young fella go though if thats the way it pans out , and i worry about the effects on liam...

I hope Sheedy hasn't been into his ear.

I'd imagine with the support the club has built around him, it would be Melbourne or nothing.

Welcome Back Aussie Wonaeamirri Set to Return

[hardtack 10,537]

Wonna set to return

[RalphiusMaximus 6,048]

Cool. I really thought he was gone for good.

Welcome Back Aussie Wonaeamirri Set to Return

fantastic news, can't wait to see him in the red and blue again!

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Good for Wonna.

Mind you he has missed alot of football this year.

He may as well start pre season training now for 2012.

There is definitely a spot for a small crumbing forward if he is good enough and is fit enough.

[She Devil 64 21]

The team will be in Darwin in a couple of weeks. No doubt Aussie will be there to catch up with the boys or at least someone from the coaching staff will catch up with him then. Let's wait & see what happens after that.

Might stir up some desire or at least help Aussie to make a decision.

Aussie's mum came up to a supporter at the game on Saturday night to tell her that Aussie was coming back.

[Striker475 696]

Just saw them post it on Facebook, great news. Let's get a super-extended preseason into him!

Once again....all the journalist's were wrong....They know as much fact as we do most of the time. Keep this in mind when putting the Scully scenario into perspective...They do not know what is REALLY happening.

Welcome back Austen...The Club obviously loves you very much, so i am very happy you want to return...Get fit little guy and tear it up in 2012.

Wonna has shown that players DO want to play for this club....a very positive sign going forward.

[Little Richard 6,262]

Great news, can't wait to see him back in the red and blue soon!

[DemonWA 3,934]

Great news, although I would still say he is probably in line for a rookie spot?

[Guest Artie Bucco]

Range Rover, it's good to see the angry mob holding Quartermain accountable for his incorrect reporting of Aussie's career's demise...

He's copping it left, right and centre.

That'll teach him.

Good thing he didn't make a premature prediction on Tom Scully's future...

[Redleg 40,903]

Well certainly Kelly Underwood was wrong when she announced on Ten News that he would not return this year and would play in Darwin in 2012.
