Austin Wonaeamirri


IWAP

Recommended Posts

This is one player that gets me turning up each week to watch him develop.

Still gets beaten in a lot of contests, but that’s to be expected because of his age and development. Has a great attitude, gives it his all in each contest. Seems to have a pretty decent disposal, and knows how to kick a goal

In a season that has been pretty disappointing all round, its nice to have at least one thing go our way.

Second round of the rookie draft? What a steal!

Agree IWAP. "Aussie" is great to watch. Already my 5 year olds favourite player.

Its always satisfying to get a great catch late in the draft or even in the Rookie draft. Our early picks might not have the best record, but our late picks and rookies seem to go OK.

Agreed. Alastair Clarkson said exactly the same thing a few nights ago on On The Couch. He said there are heaps of little things that DB would be happy about that are not discussed in the Public Sphere. All we as supporters can see is the scoreboard at the end of the day. Clarko said stick with the game plan becasue its the only way forward.

One thing that that has also gone unnoticed about him is that his skill and disposal levels are sublime, i would argue better than probably anyone else in our team at the moment.

Love the kid, his goal was right in front of us which has solidified cult status, but why was his efficiency only 50% from his ten touches? Anyone watching on tv or notice at the ground why this would be so?

45 didn't notice his efficiency levels watching on TV, I thought he was better than that.

His foot passing looks awesome compared to most of the side and hopefully we will see w few more of those kind of players coming from SA and NT with Baileys connections over the next few years!

Not me, I couldn't give a damn about the scoreboard. Iv'e hated the teams we've been putting out on the field over the last 5 - 6 years & have never really been entertained by them nor felt overly optimistic about them. In that time I've got my football fix by admiring the Lions, & Leigh Matthews style of footy.

Now I finally feel that we can build off our youth that we've recruited since 2003 & put some steel into them through the coaching of Bailey, but we need the priority pick & some more hard assed footballers, a mid & a power forward to start with.

PS< Aussie's a beauty, I reckon he'll be better than Davey.

Dazzle Davey claimed this bloke early, and we can see why. Aussie is going to be great player in coming years for the DEES.

Ouch I claimed this guy too!!! Just check out my signature.

Loved him and was so happy we drafted, just knew he would break into the team somehow and thats why he was one of the first selected for my supercoach team.

Also argued why he was a better choice for promotion than Valenti. We needed a player like Wonaeamirri at that time and it's proved to be a top choice.

Already probably my fav player, just cause I love love love to say his name.

WONAEA-FUCKIN-MIRRI!!!!

Man, I love Aussie

Him and Morton have been two great debutants this year. And will both be stars.

Add in a little Natanui, R.,Warnock, Grimes, Cheney and Maric, and we have a lot to look forward to.

Plenty to look forward too.

As this little beauty suggests, just click through.

Seriously?What aspect of Bailey's coaching reminds you of Leigh Matthews?Brisbane have been a 2 kicks to 1 handball side--even higher ratio when they won their flags.
Our new ambition is to have equal numbers of kicks/handballs.That's what's frustrating the heck out of supporters and commentators alike.
I do agree however that Daniher's recruiting post 2003 was good and should give us a base. But who chose Meesen and what do they think now?

Yeah how good is it to see that? Really great that the guys are taking him in as he is so quiet.

I saw something that made me very happy last week, was in the city having some lunch at a cafe and a few boys came and had a coffee and sat right near me. Was great Wonaeamirri, Davey, Robbo and Neita. Made me quite pleased to see big guys like Neitz and Robbo including the young guy.

I think chris connolly said on SEN during the week that his body strength and fitness levels are still a long way off where they should be for an AFL footballer. And you can see it too he is a bit pudgy around the face and through the hips. Once this guy is super fit and with a couple of solid pre-seasons behind him we might really see how good he can be.

An exciting prospect

Some here are very easliy pleased.

That said, I suppose we need something to evoke any semblance of hope.

I am with you H.

I have not seen Aussie do enough for mine to suggest that he is more than a fringe player in a poor side.

I have not seen enough quality posts from you to justify you being a moderator.

Aussie has made a solid start to his football career. He is young, raw and has a truckload of fighting spirit.

Quality posting has nothing to do with that requirement. And if it were, you would be tailing off at the rear of the site on that measure.

I can name a number of players that have gone through MFC that have been young raw and truckloads of fighting spirit.

They just did not have the ability and skills to make it at the top level. Not that it would be important in your estimations. :wacko:

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
