News from NT is that Austin Wonaeamirri's persistent ankle injury has flared again. As a consequence, the Tiwi Bombers' hierarchy decided to rest him from this week's game v Palmerston while he seeks physio treatment.

This doesn't seem to have caused any worries in the Bombers camp. At half time in today's NTFL game they lead by 80 points after a 12 goal second quarter.

You can say that again Smithy. At last year's Foundation Dinner, I put in a bid for Aussie's jumper and won it. Shortly afterwards, he did his ankle on comeback at Casey and didn't play another game

Apparently Austin's journey has been conflicted between his obligations to the MFC - which we all understand - and his cultural obligations in the Tiwi Islands following the death of his father (whose

Like it or not Austin made the decision to walk away from the game as it was his right to do. The personal tragedies and the injuries did not help. I think we should all wish him well representing the

Sad and I guess very frustrating for Aussie. He has enough trouble with fitness levels without consistent time on the sidelines.

His injury worries probably justify the decision of the FD to let him go.

I sponsor Big Maxy and the day after I send the payment to the club, he does an ACL (sorry Max).

I was a bit worried about these extraordinary powers of mine until last week when I took out a player sponsorship at GWS for Tom Scully. :lol:

Most of us Demons have a bad luck story or two - One of my boys won a signed guernsey in 2005 and couldn't believe his luck.

The player looked like being a well above average performer so I payed for the guernsey to be mounted and framed ($350) and it took pride of place in my son's study.

Sadly 'twas the number 7 and we all know how Brad turned out although we couldn't question his commitment.

Said framed guernsey is now lurking somewhere in the garage.

I, too, have a framed jumper of the famous No. 22 from 2000 - at least he and Brad were faithful servants to the Club....

If he missed his appointment to see his surgeon as reported, it seem that he may not have given himself the best chance to get it right anyway.

No reason to take Woey off the wall jumbo, he will always be remembered for his Brownlow.

Nostalgia time for Austin Wonaeamirri:

Aussie's team, the Tiwi Bombers are into the NTFL grand final. He has played eight games this season coming back from that bad ankle injury and was in the goal kickers only twice during that time. Despite the fact that he has been struggling, has signed with NEAFL team NT Thunder this season. Hopefully, he can put in a good one in the grand final.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
