I can't beleive i even took the time to reply to this.

He has an attitude problem, no defensive pressure and is lazy, who does this sound like?

Now i know why Y_M likes him so much.

Who are you talking about?

Better not be Sylvia because im getting really sick of people bagging him, has been good this year.

Err given that the whole thread, aside from the petterd post, has been about Newton, who do you think it was in reference to?

It wasn't Newton.

AzzKikA was likening Newton to someone else.

It sounds like he was talking about Sylvia.

Lets not muck around here, and i am happy to be proved wrong but:

Newton is not the answer at all, and i think if you really think about it, you all know it as well.

While we would all like to think he is going to be our next big key forward, he wont be, he is far from a polished forward who shows no leadership or football nouse.

Also , i'm afraid to say, Sylvia is heading the same way. Good Juniors dont always turn out o be good footballers. and if we are hanging our hat on these 2 players to lead us out of the mire, then we are being foolish.

Sorry if that hurts some people..

but he was likening Newton to Y_M, where's Sylvia

as much as i think yze is past his best, and has a lot of faults. if newton can turn into another yze i wouldnt be un happy. i might [censored] and moan that he is selfish for the next 12 years, but if he plays 250 games and kicks a similar number of goals i think he would have had a pretty successful career...

Michael 'Juice' Newton, aka The Forgotten Man

Showed tremendous promise at the tail end of 2007, only to lose his way under a new coach.

After seeing what Bailey has done with the likes of Garland and Warnock, I feel that Newtons supreme talent will soon be unlocked by the coach in the most amazing way possible.

I must say, a few weeks ago I had written Juice off (silly I know). Reasons being that I had the feling he didnt really have the desire to play top level footy, and he just wasnt a team man.

But I look back on what he did at the end of last year, with his insane marking ability and goal kicking. He even pushed up on to the wing in a fine performance vs Collingwood under lights at the MCG.

I can see him having some big bags of goals before the year is out, and taking the comp by storm.

End of year prediciton for Juice Newton.

Is named in the side to play Brisbane, round 14 at the MCG.

Round 14 vs Bris - 4 goals

Round 15 vs WB - 5

Round 16 vs Frem - 7

Round 17 vs Kang - 5

Round 18 vs Ess - 8

Round 19 vs Gee - 6

Round 20 vs WC - 5

Round 21 vs Port - 2

Round 22 vs Rich - 9

Juice to boot an amazing 51 goals over the last 9 rounds, at an average of 5.7 goals per game. It will be a performance to rival the Allen Jakovich explosion of 1991.

Juice wins the club goalkicking by a mile, as if from nowhere.

Suddenly, the Demons are blessed with a the games most dynamic young trio of talls. (Newton, Natanui and Garland). The medias new catchphrase becomes 'Buddy who?'.

Has Newton even kicked a bag "6 +" at VFL level?

JJJJJUUUUIIIICCCCCEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again.

JJJJJUUUUIIIICCCCCEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has Newton even kicked a bag "6 +" at VFL level?

No one gets the chance to kick 6 + at Sandy with Sautner in the team so I doubt it. Would have to be Wayne Carey to even have a chance.
