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.

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!

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?

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.

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

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...
