The Austin Wonaeamirri Thread

GRUN DEE
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    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.

    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 in the red and blue.

    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.

    I will never forget the after goal celebration in his first game

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
