    Is that meaningful @dazzledavey36?

    What?

    Does it mean that Taj will or will not have a chance of getting drafted if he is not invited to an event called the combine?

    So to get an invite to the national combine you need a total of 5 AFL clubs to nominate interest.

    It's no harm whatsoever in Taj not getting an invite. So many gun players have carved our significant AFL careers by not attending the draft combine. 

    He'll most likely attend the state combined.

    Maybe the other clubs realise he'll be going to Melbourne as a father-son so no point in inviting him.

    Do you have any info on Moniz-Wakefield dazzle? Height, weight, skillset etc... haven't heard much commentary about him at all to the point I wasn't sure if he was eligible for us this year or next.

    No not really, and it doesn't work that way.

    Nick Daicos got an invite when he's pretty much already with Collingwood already.

    It's just mean Taj hasn't got that much interest really.

    He's a midfielder who plays wing and half back. Started playing senior football in the NTFL in Darwin for Waratahs as a 16 year old and recieved a rising star nomination. 

    He made the Allies state squad for this year but obviously that's been impacted by Covid.

    I haven't obviously seen his play in the flesh but one of the boys I work with through the Murray Bushrangers and a family friend of ours in Ryan Eyres was also selected in the Allies squad with him so I might hit him up for some information.

    theres state combines to follow which is for players nominated by at least 3 clubs. what time of player is AMW? could it spell the end of chandler/bedford? jettas no.39 should be washed and ready when he steps onto the list in 2022, what size is he?

    Possibly just means that they are limiting travel and he'll be doing the WA combine instead.  Not a big deal, although if it means he drops down the order I'm all for it.

    Made the official list in March, but we haven't heard anything about him and several of his squad lists call him an NT Thunder Academy player and don't mention Melbourne.

    Maybe just an oversight but I do find it strange Cal Twomey would have JT on his podcast and ask about Mac Andrew, Taj Woey and not this guy as well.

    Andy is up on the Herald Sun draft guide (top 70 prospects, but no Taj, bah!). 

    Cant copy and paste, but the gist is 180cm, 73kg. Wingman/Outside mid - smooth mover and uses ball well. break away speed, good agility, good ball user, good around stoppages and spreads to find space. Played against men for the last couple of years.

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield Midfielder

    “Age: 26/10/2003
    Weight: 73kg
    Height: 180cm
    Club: NT Thunder/Allies

    Stats
    2021 NAB League (2 games)
    121 ranking points, 23 disposals, 5.5 marks, 5.5 clearances

    A wingman or outside midfielder, Moniz-Wakefield is a smooth mover and uses the ball well. He was one of the standouts for NT Thunder in the two NAB League games they played this year, after making his senior NTFL debut for Nightcliff as a 16-year-old in the 2020-21 season. Moniz-Wakefield possesses breakaway speed, good agility and uses the ball well. He is clever around stoppage situations and works hard to find space. Moniz-Wakefield is a member of Melbourne’s Next Generation Academy”.

    Double barrelled surname, perfect.

    Just to mindfork the opposition, I pray that one day we pick up a player called Joffrey Rothschild-Baillieu III; recruited out of Ormond Amateurs via Brighton Grammar.

    He's been named on a wing.

    Played well. Neat kick. Runs forward very quickly. Can’t say he is running that hard in defence. Stands away from the contest and drives it forward with his good kicking skills. Been unlucky not to have 10 more disposals as he has often been burnt.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
