At training today, it was rumoured that Wona will be delisted.

Confirmed by MN

sad

What, did he just bleat it out from the centre square? What transpired?

[Gippy Dee 48]

Twitter confirmed that Neeld advised that he would be delisted at the first list lodgement.

Sad news, possible that we pick him up again as a rookie?

Was Aussie training today?

Does anyone know of Aussie's intentions? If he is keen to remain an AFL player I wonder if we would consider him for a rookie spot if he looks good on the track.

Sad, but not suprised. Wonna has bigger Demons to sort out than the MFC. Good luck little guy. It's time you had some.

[Pennant St Dee 13,113]

It's is sad yes but unfortunatley the hard decision had to be made and probably due to matters out of Aussies control there really was only one decision to be made. Good luck Aussie hope life looks after you from here on in.

does anyone think this will have a little impact on jurrah having one of his best mates gone?

Very valid question Armstrong, and one I have raised in the past. I have no doubt Jurrah goes to a different level when Aussie is playing along side of him.

While LJ has played a number of games without Aussie, and played well in some of those games, if Aussie were to return "home", I hope the support network around the club will ensure LJ remains focused.

Agree with what you say.

I will miss the excitement these two bring playing together

If it was a go home factor I can understand but if it wasn't I believe he should of had a year to prove himself.

even though I expected this i am upset he is gone

Dees delist Austin Wonaeamirri

It's definitely sad. It's how list management goes. But in saying that, I can't say I'm happy with the fact that Spencer, Dunn, Bate and Newton will all be on our list (whether it be senior or rookie), but we have no place for Wonaeamirri. If I had to pick one of those five to be on our list, it would be Austin.

[Redleg 40,828]

Was always on the cards as we need more spots. Unless he wants to go home, I am pretty sure he will be rookied by us, if not taken by someone else first.

Might have to think of a new username.

How many games have LJ and Wonna played in the same side if it is much more than 5 I would be suprised.Do agree it could impact him around the club though but that is not a reason to keep someone about.

Its a shame when injury and application (regardless of reason) and not lack of talent sees a player delisted. This further highlights our need to draft a quality crumber. Without knowing the reason would hope he gets another chance if that is what he is looking for.

[monoccular 17,413]

Unfortunately, for whatever multitudinous reasons, Wona was not able to fully commit to the extreme rigors of AFL footy.......simlpe as that really.

I am glad that someone has finally come out and stated that anything less than full commitment just won't go.........are you listening Mr Sylvia?

But as titan says.....I would certainly want him on the list ahead of at least some of those he has listed.

BRFE, I commented on the fact that LJ has played many games without Aussie. But in the limited games they have played together, LJ seems to do things that even for him are freakish. Just watch the Sydeny and Hawthorn games from 2010. I think even Bruce commented in his call that they are like a pair of naughty school kids, that they just do what they want to do.

[cooko 124]

that sucks.. i really liked wonna!

has there been any news on newton? if today is the deadline does that mean he has been given another year?

[Dee Fan 3,247]

I'd love to see Wonna stay and play but how can the club give him a contract if they don't know whether he'll still want to be there in a couple of months time. Rookie him see what he wants to do and if he sticks around elevate him.

Agreed. You can't wait forever for a player to prove he wants it, tough circumstances or not.

[Axis of Bob 11,674]

Was it the club that told him he was delisted, or was it Aussie saying that he'll be staying in the Tiwis?

[Pello 1]

Hope we give him a second chance on the rookie list.

It's sad that Wonna is going. But we've got to stop this, being scared that if one player leaves, an avalanche will occur. The tail doesn't wag the dog, or if it did we would be the saints.

IF player X has to leave because player 'Y', has been delisted, then we don't need that sort of commitment at the Dees.

[rpfc 28,261]

Hope he trains in an effort to get a rookie spot.

But it was the prudent decision.

Oh, well.

How on earth can Newton be retained ?

[mollydee 22]

Rumour at the Coach's lunch was that Newton has been delisted , but haven't seen anything to confirm it
