He hasn't appeared on an injury list this season yet he states that he had a knee then a hamstring problem and rumours abound of a rift with the coach and a poor attitude.

Does anyone know why he is not playing this weekend?

I am not really a conspiracy theorist but it seems there is a distinct lack of information coming out about this particular player. Why?

He is named in the Sandy twos

This is strange but Ricky Petterd is named as part of the interchange for the reserves. It suggests possibly that there might be a doubt over his fitness. The fact that Newton's not there suggests that he's unfit for one reason or other (I suppose that's pretty obvious isn't it?)

SANDRINGHAM v PORT MELBOURNE (Reserves)

Sunday 22nd June

Trevor Barker Beach Oval at 11:10 AM

SANDRINGHAM

Backs Cannon Curcio Sargent

Half backs Plymin Shakaib McNamara

Centreline Hine McConnell Kondarovskis

Half forwards Hardiman Cleeve Lyall

Forwards Lockwood Zomer Weetra

Followers Spencer Williams Fleming

Interchange (from) Dean Eaton Gribbin Liddell Monaghan Petterd Summons Torcasio

This was taken from the thread re sandys teams this week. No newton. Is this incorrect? Demonland posted it????

Chinese whispers that has had a massive snowball effect. Unless anyone here is in the inner sanctum then it is all just idle gossip. However it would be nice of the club occasionaly kept us up to speed on such things.

My mistake... I thought I read that he was in the twos

I have it on good authority that even though Newton did not get named for either Sandy side this week, that he will actually play in one of the teams.

I know he was at the club last week (I saw him out at Junction Oval), so he's still floating around...

I don't know where to go with him. You would think he would need at least the last 10 or so rounds to prove he still deserves a spot, and even then he has to play well... I'm beginning to see a Juice-less future ahead.

On the bright side, I LOVE that DB is selecting players on merit alone, not on the basis of what position they play. You'd hate to be Buckley or Valenti, who've earned a spot, and see Juice jump straight into the team because we "need" a tall forward.

It send all the right messages for our future and encourages work ethic over EVERYTHING.

It appears his form over the last 2 weeks has been better. Is the hard line being taken by Bailey working? It appears so. Will he get recalled this week or does he need to perform well for 1 or 2 more weeks for Sandy? The coaches are going to have to give him some senior time soon if they intend perservering with him. Some attitude problems probably still exist so what to do??

He kicked four in a loss to North Ballarat yesterday.

I think it's time for some Juice.

So He played and the results were mixed. Took some good grabs, kicked poorly, failed to back into a player and spoil and was probably not hard enough at the ball. I would imagine the coaching staff would be working on 2 things. 1. His kicking. 2. His attack on the footy. It's like he doesn't realise that he's quite a big lad. He needs to be forced into some really strong competitive work at training and get used to slamming into blokes ala Nick Riewoldt. He has a fine mark and if he had the courage to leep into packs he could be quite damaging as a forward. He's going to take time so you all need to be patient and back him to suceed. Yelling out as some of you do at the footy that he's soft and a dud is probably not going to help.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
