Our NGA academy prospect who is quietly going about his business in the NT has been invited up to the AFL national draft combine.

Taj Woewodin didn't get an invite.

    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.

    Our very own NGA Academy prospect is playing today for the Allies live stream below.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
