Can't run into space, can't keep his feet, can't defend for stretches of a game. Goodnight.

Yep. See "time to go thread." Many agree with you.

he took a great mark and also kicked a great goal but made some costly errors

give him one more chance in the seniors

however, i wouldnt mind seeing the backend of him and sylvia at seasons end

Newton would be one worried player if the Dees land Watts with their first round pick. He is on a tightrope, and is about to lose his balance.

Will be given one more chance. If he fails, it could be goodnight for Juice.

I'm starting to think the same thing about Sylvia...

Newton was horrible. so slow and cant read the play, god lucky with a couple of goals.

I think people are being hard on sylvia, tried hard i thought and didnt have much luck, dont forget he was playing half forward with little supply had to go down and get it himself.

Mcdonald was also shocking, should never play again -youth policy

Newton is on borrowed time now. Just doesnt do enough.

Sylvia also needs to step up. If we got offered anything for him I'd take it and cut my losses.

Shiet lad, he has kicked 2 goals in a creap side................................ that puts him in the " holy' category - surely.

Complete soft rubbish today. CU later

He's had his chance. Its time to go...... Michael 'Juice' Newton

Definitely not up to it.

I hope he's in his last year of a contract.

Fergus Newton.

The juice has run dry!

Now more like a cup of nectar that has sat in the sun for a few weeks! STINKS!

Yep he was crap today, will get another chance. Sylvia needs to be traded, he is no good.

Thought Miller went missing a bit in the second half, but he is getting better.

Yep. not up to it.

how many chances has he had, 10 games?? yeah thats enough get rid of him if thats the case we should get rid of most of them because they're not winning games and are very inconsistent

short memories

id' like to compare where miller and juice were at, at the same stage of their careers... hell even miller for the better part of last year... at least juice has constantly kicked a couple of goals.

if a crap day = 2 goals I'd hat to think what a good one is? while he may not develop into a dominant FF or CHF if we get one, i'd take 2 goals out of a decoy forward every day of the week. I'm sure Holland had days in that role where he struggled to get 2.

has shown over the last 2 matches that he can do the freakish and can be as petulant as at least one of the other best forwards in the land. he just need to have a 3-4 goal match to warm your harts in which has been a couple of cold weeks

on silv, he has to be injured, was lacking that bit of pace we know he has and suffered from players up the ground not kicking to advantage.

as much as i love junior, he had a much bigger impact in us losing the game than either of the afore mentioned players, but then so did a certain bald radioactive maget as well...

2 goals? One was a pathetic down field and the other a goal that was typical - freakish and a result of poor team play. The guy thinks defence is the thing that runs along the side of the house. He will not keep his feet and he is a liability with a poor work ethic. Has to go. I never want to see him in a Melbourne jumper again

Overall shocker of a game, but all players have them.

But he needs to learn two things very quickly, keep his feet and bend over to pick a ball up. He's not as tall as others who are much better below their knees.

You can't be serious!

Miller is not as talented as Juice, but he has ALWAYS been a team player. He sacrificed his own game to help out a depleted backline, and was brought into the leadership group at the tender age of 22.

Newton could learn a thing or two from Miller about workrate and unselfish play. That's why Miller is still at the club at 24, and has been given every opportunity to prove himself, while Newton is skating on thin ice after 14 games.

i think Newton has more potential than any players on the whole Melbourne list.

give him time u silly sausages

Are Sylvia and Newton the same player? They show 1 minute of brilliance and then show 99 minutes of crap.

I didn't think it was his worst game from the replay. He chased and ran hard all day, but the delivery was rubbish, and he was ignored on a number of occasions.

On the negative side he dropped marks he should take, he losses his feet way to easily and he gets pushed off the ball way to easily for someone so big.

Here is hoping he will improve his consistency

We're last on the ladder with mediocre footballers such as Bell, Bode, Newton, and Jamar to name but a few, yet some here think that if they wear red and blue they must be half decent or worth persisting with. Well there are going to be some tough decisions made at year's end and some of those with unbelievably rose coloured glasses should start assembling their tissues now.

In all my years following footy I've never understood how some supporters are so easily pleased and prepared to tolerate crap players. There's always excuses as to why they're so [censored] weak. And when a real talent like Morton comes along, the Dingleberries from the other side don't understand why a skinny kid who's still finding his feet and wouldn't even be getting a game at a top 4 side has some areas of his game exposed.

I'm not sure which supporter is dumber. Those that see good in and want to keep every hack, or those that can't recognise genuine class when it smacks them in the mouth.
