The club’s Next Generation Academy member from its former Darwin zone finally broke into the Melbourne team in his third season as a Category B Rookie. He fitted well into the higher standard of football and impressed with his ball winning ability at this level. Earned the right to promoting and will be an interesting watch now that we know he has a place in senior AFL football.

Happy with AMW.  Showed some good dash, initiative & desperation when he played seniors.

Also made errors which is to be expected. If he can tidy up some parts of his game he could slot in as a regular player.

good player, loads of potential. speed, hard and gutsy.

 


Looking forward to seeing a lot more of AMW next year, I like his speed and hardness at the man and ball.

Looking forward him taking the step next season.  Another preseason under his belt and the confidence he got from his games this year. 

 

Get his fitness up and I can see a situation where he's in our best 22.

Kid has potential. 

He really surprised me. I felt he had become a very good VFL player whose skills would not transfer up to AFL standard. Very happy to put my hand up and say I got it wrong. He was very good for his 6 games and is probably competing with Jake Bowey for a spot as a small defender. 

His main issue is definitely his fitness. He was playing so well, but in most of his 6 games, he was making errors in the last quarter, simply because he could not get to the next contest, or be caught out of position through exhaustion. A good preseason will fix this. 


I like what I have seen so far, but I am a bit concerned with the fitness aspect.

he is 22 now, been with the club 3 years, Fitness should not be an issue by now, he has developed his skills across to AFL which is great, but his tank should already at it's prime.

He was spent by about the 2nd quarter and his skills didn't really translate after the first half of the Brisbane game.

He has a nice combination of speed and aggression but if we're being honest he was a mile from AFL level but got games because we had run out of anyone better.

Bit harsh

He was one of the better ball users, clean below his knees and also actually tackled.

When was the last time ANB, Bowey laid a decent tackle? 

Offers that aggression down back that we don't have

Fitness will get better which will keep him in the side over Bowey, Howes

I always liked AMW through his early development and keen to see him progress.  Liked his rugby bs ground and competitive streak.  
Was a small forward who converted to a half back at Casey and showed ability to win and deliver plenty of the footy.  
At AFL level once promoted, he played more of a lock down type defender role.  Allowed McVee to be tried in the midfield.  Played 6 games to give him a taste. Not in my starting “22” for round 1 2025 but will prove himself once he’s called up through the year.  A big preseason ahead for Andy.  


Smooth mover, plenty to like.

 Could we try AMW at half forward also? I think he has skills around goals also which might prove very valuable for our attack. 

This might also react in his favour if his fitness is in doubt. 
But the Club would be all over this already I have no doubt. Wing might be another chance. Has he got the pace and tank? 

Should be a big improver I reckon along with Blake Howes nowhere had had a very promising debut season. He has also huge potential up forward. 

I have a feeling we may see him spend time in the middle.

Needs to work on his disposal a little bit a lot to like about this young bloke.

Limited game time so I don't believe we have come close to seeing his full talent.

Hard at the contest.

Cannot agree with this Dee Spencer. Not only do I think he looks up to it, I actually think he has the potential to be a really important run and carry player for us. I did see the Brisbane game and I agree in part, but 'a mile' off is ludicrous.

100%

He has a real opportunity to take that HB role that's been left by Rivers and Salem

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
