This may sound misguided and optimistic but we have to play Newton every week from now on in the Seniors. Sandy is not a good breeding ground for forwards as Sautner has been the VFLs version of plugger for the last 10 years or whatever. Throw newton at the wolves and give him every chance to develop into a forward force.

    Agree 100%. Get him in this side.

    I don't think we have a choice... he must play. Now is the time for Newton to stand up !!!!

    When he developes some balls and learns to run better than Daffy Duck he might get a chance

    Newton just has to be given a chance now and for the rest of the year. Lynden Dunn and Brad Green should be played up forward as well. Dunn is just not a mid and we drafted him to be a forward and now is his chance.

    Juice would have been in the team the last couple of weeks...the only problem is that he is still injured. When fully fit now he'll be a certain starter.

  • Quote

    Yeah I guess he has got to come in if he is fit, regardless of his attitude. Personally , I`d like to see Maric replace Robbo. Just not sure if he is gunna get a game this year unfortunately. I do not think Juice would get a game at another club just quietly.

    Yup, the time has going for Juice to step up, I hope he turns out alright, i didn't but this number plate hat with 'JUICEY' written on it with matching badge for nothing! :lol:

    Couldn't agree more. Expose him now and see if he has the bollocks (as Gordon Ramsay would say) to play consistently at AFL level.

    Last chance for Newton, and Dunn too I reckon. If neither of them can settle into the forward line for the remainder of the year I don't know why we would want to keep them.

    Here's an idea...

    Green, Newton and Dunn playing in the 50 arc.

    Is Newton even fit?

    I don't think so. His form wouldn't warrant selection anyway at this stage.

    Games shouldn't just be handed to blokes simply cause we have "no other options" Newton has showed absolutely nothing all year and does not deserve a spot in the side at present I would rather see Dunn played at FF but he to as shown little this year. Newton is not the answer and i'm starting to think he never will be.

  • Quote

    Newton will get a chance when he overcomes whatever is ailing him, but I have very low expectations. No ticker and even less pace.

  • Quote

    give green a quarter in the middle. if he starts running about looking lost then throw him up forward where he should be.

    Its unfortunate that we are forced to play a natural half forward in the middle.

    Dunn and Newton were recruited to replace Neitz. Its time for it to happen

    Well it's alright to say that, and I actually agree that players shouldn't be gifted a spot in the team, but we sorely lacked a big, strong marking presence in the forward line, and this is why we drafted Newton. Give him a shot at it, he knows his career is on the line, and if he doesn't perform, get rid of him.

    Yep, and its a test of character as well as ability...if he's fair dinkum he will rise to the occaison, if not...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
