aside from a few extra tackles his stats are almost identical from game one to game two!

To quote the great Jack Dyer, “he made a great debut last week and an even better one today”.

    I love the way he runs out of trouble (which can be seen in the highlights footage above). Don't think he will ever be accused of being stagnant.

    Another excellent game for Andy Moniz-Wakefield, he looks so much better live than watching on TV where you can’t see just how fast and effective he is. I hope that we keep playing him and I like his suggested nickname “Wheels”.

    He didn't look like he didn't belong. Some really nice moments and a few I'm sure he'll learn from.

    I hope he keeps improving because he is a joy to watch.

    First time I have seen him play live - very impressed with hi pace and most of his disposal and intercepting.

    But we really need a pithy short name for him - AMW is trite, and Moniz-Wakefield is a mouthful to yell out in a crowd.  

    Moniz?  

    Monz could encounter censorship issues.

    Grammar police here. You've been warned - use of a double negative. Don't do it again.

    Shades of Nev in close 

    Yep, I see him as a quicker Nev, rather than Wheels.

    I am not sold on AMW and I think that some of the comments on here are a bit over the top. I like that he plays with AFL intensity but needs to be cleaner and more precise with his disposal and keep his feet on the ground balls. Some of his decision making shows his inexperience as well, but obviously that could improve with more games.

    I prefer what Howes offers at this stage because he is a better kick and better interceptor. I also think he plays to the defensive system better.

    Seeing him out there in 45, honestly I felt like I was seeing a reincarnation of Matty Whelan. Really like what I see from him.

    Double negatives! What does this mean? The truth is when I see a double negative I suddenly don't care.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
