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.

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.

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
