Champ, he kicked 5.2. So I can't think of any more "terrible misses"

From German's review:

"Michael Newton – He booted five goals, but kicked three behinds and two on the full, so he could've had nine or 10 goals to his name...."

Newton being lazy = overperpetuated myth

Agreed. He actually tries, He just needs to try harder than most to reach the best of his ability. Matthew Bate on the other hand !!!!

Awesome?

He did get really tired in the last, which is understandable given he hasn't played a full game at any sort of really intense environment in about 8 months. Needs plenty more games to get the fitness into him. Playing on the wing as well, he got tired because he was running from one contest to the next.

Great user of the ball, oozes class and very very intelligent. Probably won't play permanent CHF (too good to rot in the square) until he puts on another 5-6kgs.

Intelligent???? Thats the best laugh ive had for the year thanks for that one!

After a best on ground performance with 5 goals, surely the juice would get his spot back for melbourne. Especially when we only managed 10 goals on sunday. Somehow i think he will miss out, purely because he is the juice.

Pathetic post. Why cause he is the 'Juice' its the Juice 'attitude' or should i say lack of good attitude and discipline

Speaking of pathetic posts... Do you even watch what he does off the ball? He chases as hard as anyone and this "attitude" problem of his is just crap. His kicking isn't the best but why not keep him in the team when he at least provides a tall forward with a bit of skill. Once he gets his confidence right his kicking will improve at AFL level and will be a good forward for us until someone else can fill that role.

In your rush to condemn, I think you're under the mistaken impression that Jaded posted about Newton.

I think so too

Just to clear things up, when I talk about someone being smart, talented and awesome, I am not talking about Newton
