Aussie will be doing it hard for a while, after his and his families great loss.

I'd like to see the MFC help him through these dark times and offer Aussie a one year extention. On the minimum payments that is aloud in the afl, maybe even send a trainer up north to help monitor his fitness through the pre-season.

Aussie is a must keep for mine, hate to think that this is the end of Aussie's career...

I don't think that will happen or is fair. Aussie isn't up to AFL standard. he is a great guy and has talent, but will not get another contract.

I also guarantee that Melbourne will do there best to look after Aussie and his family but gifting him a one year extension isn't right! Hopefull he returns to play footy some where in the Tiwi islands and him and his family are happy but MFC isn't a charity its a harsh business.

He does have talent, but that doesn't mean he is up to AFL standard. I just hope Aussie is happy in whatever he does, the same with every player.

I think he is a AFL-standard talent.

Each to their own.

im all for it for him to stay there for the rest of the year or split his time and have a longer steady preseason for next year, undoubted talent just need to put it together

Super talented but you cant expect high level output with no preseasons, no continuity and the family problems that has fallen on him.

I too hope he takes the balance of the year off and hopefully gets over his troubles and wants to come back fit and firing.

Davey was just on triple M... they asked him about Wonna, said he hasn't spoken to him in 2 weeks and doesn't know anyone else at the club that has. Bugger :(

He needs time alone....that's why he went back.

He was living at the coaches house, so i am sure he knows he is missed. But he had to go home....to find his Father's spirit.

I would as well.

Would it be a decent idea to consider dropping Aussie down to the rookie list next season (obviously would involve delisting and re-rookieing),

I know that sounds pretty cut-throat... but it would probably be the best solution for both parties. It really takes the pressure off Aussie, he's not taking up a spot on the senior list while in the Tiwi Islands, so he can really focus on his mental health and when he's ready to fully commit to footy he can be upgraded back onto the list.

It would obviously be best for Melbourne because we don't have a player who is unavailable for selection taking up a senior spot on the list. Plus Aussie is still a rookie at the club so if he comes back he can always put himself in line for selection as an upgraded rookie

Also in that Davey interview he said that Wonna was only meant to be gone for a week and now its been a month. If Davey hasnt spoken to him in a few weeks than I hope someone else has.

I know its a tragedy about his dad but I doubt he has kept himself in good shape and there is only 7 weeks left so if he did come back soon he wouldnt be playing anyway. How is he contract wise?

Wona won't get back this year and I doubt he'll be back next year .

I hope he's got a smile on his face back at the Tiwi islands .

Me too there is my to life than football.

However the AFL is a brutal business.

Wona has IMO played only a few good games for Melbourne.

MFC has to move on in 2012

Does he deserve a new contract in 2012?

IMO no

But there will be plenty of others who thing the answer is yes.

AFL states Aussie is not ready to come home and MFC will support him and have him in future plans. I applaud the footy club for handling this so well. Its not just all about business. From basket case to a leading club. We are headed in the right direction!!!!!!

He is out of contract.

From a list management point of view our options are

1. Retain on primary list.

2. Delist and rookie

3. Remove from primary list (but we can put him straight back on in 2013 under AFL compassionate rules, if we want to).

I feel for the kid, and you'd want to give him every chance to continue his AFL career if he can get his personal issues sorted out. I think at this stage no.2 would be the most beneficial outcome for both parties.

Agreed IWAP. I love Wonna, and hope like hell he comes back, but unless he can say for certain he will be back for the preseason, or at a stretch next season, it has to be rookie list. I hope the club continue to handle this situation as well as they have and may Wonna be booting goals again soon.

Happy to have Aussie on the rookie list if need be and commend the club for its handling of the situation.

I just think that if he misses the upcoming preseason the game will have passed him by as he currently does not have a fitness base which allows him to consistently provide forward pressure.

36DD I think you have covered it well.

Not so sure I am as considerate as a lot of others.

I applaude our compassion,

but he is taking up a spot on the list.

Out of contract at at the end of the year.

If he does not signal he is serious about returning by the end of August

Then I say Rookie him at best.

Unfortunately winning a flag is very hard work.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
