Excellent development by the club. Waiting until he is in great form to give him his chance. 

And he should get plenty of it down back!

    I think this is great for the lad but geez we're going into the back end of the season with a very young and inexperienced side.

    I'm absolutely stoked that Andy Moniz-Wakefield will be making his debut this Friday against Brisbane. I wouldn't be surprised if he lines up on Zac Bailey and McVee will get Charlie Cameron. There has been plenty of discussion in the last few weeks that AMW should be making his debut soon and his hard work and persistence has paid off. 

    Well done young man. 👏

    Love this. 
    With a flag now off the table, it’s important that we use the remainder of the season to find out as much as we can about our list. 

    Go well Andy and well done on all your hard work to get here. 
     

     

    Hopefully you’re not the sub 🙄

    Well done AMW!

    Very happy to see so many players getting an opportunity this year!  We’ve got a glut of players on our list who have served a solid VFL apprenticeship and it’s great to see they’re finally getting their chance.

    We need a mini-rebuild / refresh of the team and it’s exciting to see who will be part of it going forward.

    And isn't it great to see the club reward him for his effort and persistence, A great outcome.  Gee we had 10 players 22 or under last game yet another junior. Go AMW.

    It is very sad on my part......like a surrogate parent.......met a skinny kid 3 years ago and watched him grow both literally and figuratively....he is great mates with Rooey and Koz so they will look after him pre game.

    Very happy with this. I hope we see Windsor, Thorp, Andy, Woewodin, and Brown in the side for the rest of the season.

    Seems Goodwin and Co. have finally given up on trying to rediscover 2021's form.

    Great news, he really has worked hard to get here.

    Well done.

    He sure has worked incredibly hard. He’s also been patient; he was told quite a while ago he’d be debuting “soon” and has maintained a high level of enthusiasm all the while, it hasn’t dropped off at all. Besides that, he’s a lovely kid. Always smiling, always happy and has a great energy about him.

    I see a very similar comparison physically and attitudinally to another indigenous player who was well loved by all Dees’ supporters, and who ironically also wore #45, Mathew Whelan .

    i hope Andy’s career is as impressive as Matty’s

    I’m positive family and friends up here in Darwin will be ecstatic. As will his former junior coach at Nightcliff. (Scotty will be chuffed). Long time coming but deservedly so. Did it the hard way kicking the dew off the grass. Long may you run Andy. ❤️💙

    I don’t think Andy’s indigenous mate.

    Fan bloody tastic and about time.

    For those who may not have the time to see much of Casey...

    Moniz has wheels, will look to bring run & carry overlap wherever possible.

    That's assuming he gets the license to do so from the bosses.

    Yes he can occasionally turn it over or push hard too early etc and get burned the other way, including from his own clangers on occasions.

    That aside i love his attacking run & gun take-the-game-on attitude and the speed he brings on transition between the arcs in an attempt to get the ball quickly i50.

    If we're going to play Rivers consistently through the middle from here then Moniz is a great foil in an attempt to make up some of what we might lose across HB in this regard.

    He also has VG closing speed and plays a tad taller than he might appear with the ability to spoil / compete in the air with somewhat taller opponents.

    That closing speed also brings fairly decent pressure / tackling on the oppo.

    Aside from Rivers finally getting a berth through the middle, and while i'm not expecting immediate stardom more just a solid / speedy / attacking brand, this is equally the best news i've seen all year.

    AMW has knocked down every door in the house. He has been in cracking form most of the year. Congratulations.

    Last week we played a competition most 22 and under players  - 10- could be 11 this week? Wonder if Salem gets up?

    We lacked enough wheels as a team. AMW has wheels as does Brown - and it goes without saying Windsor.. Kolt is no slow coach either.

    We certainly are undergoing a team/list refresh.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
