Austin Wonaeamirri


IWAP

Recommended Posts

The handball from the pack to Bruce was a beauty. Pity about the subsequent kick from #32.

Like Hannabal I've done a full 180 on Wonaeamirri.

Now we just need RR to do a Fonz, and admit he was wrong. Nah, can't see it happening. B)

he needs to start being talked about as a genuine threat to win the Rising Star. He is every bit as good as C.Rioli, especially considering the supply and the forwards he gets to rove off.

I agree with the comparison with Rioli, however I think Houli and Palmer are in front in the race for the Rising Star.

well houli didn't play on the weekend and palmer cant kick to save his life!

has anyone notice that aussie is actually a ball magnet too! this year his disposal have all been double figures not one match where he has gotten less then 10 possessions.

i have said that aswell aussie will make a late claim for the rising star! going just as good as rioli

His vision and quick hands in packs was what really impressed me about the kid.

Correct, he is a one grab player even when the ball is bouncing awkwardly and he seems to know where his team mates are at all times.

His handpasses from a pack to Davey and Bruce in the last qtr were first class.

What makes him great is exactly the OPPOSITE of the things that make Davey great. Aaron's too small to be a lead-up forward, too light to cop the big hits... He has survived and thrived on the fact that he has an exceptional footy brain, and does the freaky things more often than not. Austin doesn't do so many flashy things... He leads, takes marks, runs hard, tackles hard, doesn't take a backward step. He's a solid marking target despite being tiny. Its this reason I have high hopes for him. So often we get a player come out of the blocks early in their careers, and being pessimists, we look at them more in terms of what will hold them back, instead of what will make them great... Austin has all the solidity of a young Byron...

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.

Austen just keeps getting better Rhino-He was Fabulous Yesterday. He could be a dead set Melbourne Legend. I sure hope so. He and Davey work so well together.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
