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.

Spoke to him at the Sponsors function, just told him to keep knocking on the door LOUDLY.......he is as tough as nails

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.

Good coaching, Saty.

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.

YEAH MONNERS! Your time’s come.

Go out there and GIVE ‘EM HELL!

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. ❤️💙

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.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
