Its Time to go.....

[The HuLK 139]

JUICE--- Not got enough, too slow, poor decision making, no 2nd efforts. Good mark but thats it, clearly not up to AFL level, and has had his chances to show what his made of... Dont like lazy footballers, his work rate is poor!!! Get rid of him...

Give him three more weeks in the side, and if you still think he sucks, then talk about delisting him. Remember Colin Garland.

[sylvinator 96]

first game back since round 1, so a complete unfair assessment.

give him a few weeks. im sick of terrible supporters who call for young players to be delisted after 1 game. it's actually pathetic.

he actually took 8 marks today, all in very dangerous positions either within 50 or within 80m from goal.

[Gorgoroth 12,337]

And chased and laid a tackle too, a wee bit early, I'm not sure he will make it but give him a fair chance, another 3-5 weeks m in and see what he can do as our main focal point, was much better out of the square than floating around half forward.

right on the boundary every time and poor disposal afterwards resulting in a turnover is not "dangerous"

[ucanchoose 1,804]

and his shots for goal in front missed were disgraceful

[tess 19]

Bailey spoke to him directly after the first and third quarters.

He's a great mark of the ball and will be given the opportunity. If he improves his decision making he will become a good footballer.

[Tolstoys Nudge 1,255]

Cmon guys..

Did not get great supply today..

Had a bit of a crack, lets see him at the G when we get it in a bit better..

Play him the next 5, then decide!! thats fair!

The only real negative of his game today was some very average kicking...gets that straight he is worth more games til end of year to truly evaluate

[Beamer 1]

He wasnt involved enough.

When the ball was near him though he did good things. A performance to build on.

Agree with you initial sentiments, but I think he's worth more than just the remainder of the season. He's missed a large chunk of this season through injury, and he's got something that we're lacking. It's called TALENT.

Miller has been more proficient since he's been the main man. I think that Newton will flourish with the additional responsibility.

Juice has to be played for the rest of the season. Need time to have a good look.

Precisely!!!

Must be done to see what weve got! talent, or lazy springbean!

[The Backyard Charizard 1,178]

Can see the potential in him, that's for sure..... Just needs a string of games to get a better indication....

If he kicked straight today, could've had 3-5 goals.... Then people would have been praising him!

[mclean sweep 0]

I'm waiting till end of season for talk on who should go, and who should stay. Give juice more of a go i'm sure he'll pick up some form.

[barpen 0]

Must be persisted with.

He took 4 contested marks today: I think that is a good sign.

Has ability and hopefully over the coming weeks we will all see it.

[Diablo 1]

I genuinely don't like Newton as a player. He seems a bit precious and clearly feels as though he's above 1%ers. He can take a fine mark but, as has already been covered, what good is that if you keep jagging it in the pocket and continuously fluff shots from straight in front.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I don't think he has all the ingredients.

[Roost It 1,434]

He just needs to attack the footy harder and use his size to open packs. Forward line seemed a little disfunctional with him in it. Happy with Martin. Gave Minson a complete bath in only his second game. Now this kid can play.

Correct. And, just as importantly, he wants to play. Can't say that with any certainty about Newton.

I've also shared those sentiments about Newton but give him some time under DB for the rest of the year and a thorough pre-season.

This would concentrate on his kicking, his skill at the loose ball and his body strength/work.

DB's been around long enough to make the right call on him then.

[Hannabal 4]

He has ability, but will never be a reliable key forward. We could persist, persist some more, and then persist some. Like we have with many other NQR footballers.

Or, we could bite the bullet and send him on his way. That said, I'd give him one more year.

How do you think he would go if he got the delivery of some of the better midfielders in the competition?

Why did he have to roam far and wide from goals to get a kick?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Jeez you guys carry on...

In a day when NO-ONE took a contested mark inside forward 50, Juice looked like the most effective forward inside of 30 metres of the goal line.

10 disposals, 7 marks... could of had a few if he was confident. He only got back from injury a couple of weeks ago, and was stretching out his calves in the second half.

He EASILY did enough to get a game next week...

You're all expecting him to play like Buddy inside of his first 10 games?!!!

[Roost It 1,434]

Wheatley - Trade, you're all kidding yourselves if you think he's good enough.

Green - Trade, only player worth something

Bell - Trade, obvious

Jones - Trade, slow, can't kick, can't handball, move him on!

Chris Johnson - Trade (how many half back f---ing flankers do we need!!!)

Whelan - 1 more year

Newton - Give till end of 09 to prove himself. Can play, will take some time, but may end up no good.

Martin - centre half back

Miller - centre half forward

Spencer or Warnock to be blooded next year

Build a team around Miller, Davey, Mclean, Wona, Bate, Sylvia, Dunn, Garland, Warnock, Buckley, Martin, Frawley, Petterd, Morton, Grimes and then use draft selections and trades over the next 2 years to complete the team
