It's the last quarter and the doggies have just kicked a point. Bell chips the ball to Martin who plays on hanballs inboard to buckley who lays it off to Jones running through the centre chips it to Sylvia who swings onto his right and precedes to ram the ball down the leading Newton's throat. Set shot from right in front 45 out and he's split the middle for his sixth major of the afternoon and I think the Dees are home

great result. now jaded has to sell her shoes!

Jaded, after that game early in the season, I guess you really don't rate Newton :P

but i really like the idea that a commentator would go crazy over newton and use the line 'the dees are back in front' after we kicked the first behind and the dogs kicked the next two :P

Haha :P

I dont think Bell or Newton are deserving.

Bell hasnt been setting the world alight at Sandy. And it was only 3 weeks ago Juice was only just doing the business with Sandy Reserves.

I guess Juice deserves another chance to prove himself, but surely its his last should he fail. Bell is a shocking inclusion. Would much rather see Frawley there.

One more from Juice, you betya, you betya, no. 7 and the Demons are home!!

It's testing time.

Newton is under definite notice, Belly to a lesser degree.

As with Bode, Valenti, Martin etc give them some serious game time to see what's on offer.

That's not true. His last two games at Sandy have been good.

Bell is in for the match-up on Welsh. Absolutely towelled him up last time and got 3 Brownlow votes.

Juice will start on the ground, guaranteed.

Man I am excited to see what he does. Bailey has worked so much magic with our youngsters this year, and Juice has as much talent as anyone.

I predict a bag of 7 goals.

of course the commentators going crazy,

in one day newton has just got mark of the day, gaol of the day, and that, which really got the commentator excited, was his 10th goal for the match.

(plus he also had 3 shephards and 5 tackles, but they were overshadowed).

2 good performances are setting the world alight now are they.

I expect Bell to absoloutly dominate with Sandy before he deserves another crack with the Seniors.

Thank god Bode was dropped. Really poor footballer with little upside.

Predict Newton to kick 2 goals from 7 touches and 4 marks.

Morton to have 21 touches and a goal.

Valenti to rack up 9 tackles.

I'd love to see Bell get a run in the middle.

I actually think Bell would be a good matchup for Hahn, who is one of their most important and players and sets their physical tone for the match.

Bell needs to have the acid put on him to go out and match that physicality of Hahn and curb his influence. You would think with Bell being in the postion that he is in would relish an opportunity like that.

My hunch is that the coaches are saying to Bell and Newton, here's your chance don't stuff it up

From what Miller said at the photo on Thursday, Newton has been injured for a large part of this season and he would know better than anyone that if you get injured and can't shake it than it's hard to get back to the form you'd like.

In saying that, there is no doubt that Newton has to show a large work ethic this weekend, it seems that Bails has taken that approach that hard work gets rewarded and it seems to be the corner stone of our side at this time. The two wins we've had this year have come through relentless pressure and hard running (abliet for only one half v freo!), so he'd better pull his weight.

Bell has been really dissapointing this year, last year i would've had him up there in the top 5 B&F at the mid point, since then (again injury interrupting) he has shown very little to warrent a solid best 22 spot. With many of our key players out for the season it gives some on the outer a chance to put their hands up and say "i want to be apart of our this clubs future".

It's a good test this week, and i'll be there to spur them on!

people are hailing bate as a forward but he has kicked less goals than games.

Bate hasn't played all of his games since his return as a forward. Also there are goal assists that you need to take into consideration. Since Bate went forward, I'm sure he's been a significant factor in this area.

Posted

I'm still a little bit confused why Newton gets so much attention on these boards.

Is it simply because it took him so long to play? What's the obsession?

Excited to see Bell back, i think he can add a lot to our team if he can get his head right

I cannot beleive that hack Bell is back!!

He has done NOTHING to deserve a spot, id rather see yze, White, Carroll, Holland ahead of him, and since i dont want them to play, that shows how much I dont wont dinga to play!!

Midfield?? u guys are kidding yourselves, he's no where near a midfielder!! what a joke!

Im angry! Bell.. well, lets see, he'll make some bad decisions, run around on the spot, turnover a few by hand & foot, let his opponent kick a couple of easy ones, and, get dropped again..

Sorry 2 be so negative, he's just the 1 player 1 really dislike at our club!

You're very harsh Nudge, though whilst diplomacy is a word you need to research, for a change I agree with you in principle. I hope his disposal has improved markedly since we last saw him in the team.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
