Moniz-Wakefield tore his ACL late in a practice match at Arden Street and is progressing well with his rehab. The club showed faith in the 21 year old medium sized defender by signing a one-year extension in August.

    It is very hard to have a break out year coming off a serious knee injury, and even harder if you don't get to do a full pre season.

    I'm yet to be convinced that he has the tools to become a genuine AFL player, and particularly not as a defender. Nevertheless, it is a position of weakness for us, so I'm sure he will get opportunities if he performs well at Casey.

    It was a shocking time to suffer that injury and I hope he's back to full strength for the upcoming preseason.

    He's reaching the age where his career could take off and yes, we definitely need a player like him who can attack of half back as well as nullify an opponent.

    I wish his all the best but it is a high hill to climb.

    But never forget that Nev Jetta too quite some time to establish himself and became one of our very best small defenders in a long time.

    Give it you best, Andy, though I am sure you don’t need me to say that.

    AMW has skills; quick, elusive, tough and a good mark for his height! Given an injury free run, he will make it as a back.

    Yes I'm backing him in, a very determined young man. Perhaps the club should send him to the States to complete his rehabilitation. 'A la Petracca' prior to the main course.

    Love him and can't wait to see him back. Tough, quick like Michael Hibberd and really good 1 on 1 who plays above his height like Neville Jetta

    Agree Andy was looking the goods leading up to his senseless season ending injury, he should have a full preseason, let’s hope he can recapture that form again, we really missed his tough, tenacious defensive skill set that would have freed up the Judd.

    I believe he has the talent to make it, but given the injury he had, unlikely '26 will be his break-out year (although i hope it is) - more likely '27. But confident he'll be with us a long time.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
