Newton is contracted for next year so he will be here. Hopefully he can get some work done in the gym this summer.

Bate is not a KP forward. He is a HFF attempting to play FF and CHF at different times in the worst team in the league with the worst delivery in the league.

And yet he has 23 goals 10 behinds, and is second to Davey in assists with 19. And he averages a contested mark every game.

He is a player.

Is that were the Dees do there goal kicking practice? No wonder we can't kick straight....

I see what you're saying H but I think moving him to a flank might only compound his weakness at AFL level. His inability to get seperation from defenders which really inhibates his development to the so called next level. Smaller, quicker flankers will be able to spoil him with ease and run off him with ease. I know he works hard to make positions but just seems to lack the extra 5 or 10% to push him into the good quality player category. (not trying to have a dig at him either)

Yeah I would like to see Scully as a dee next year....by playing the game fair and square ( not tanking )....and that we didn't do today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely disgusted in the selectors....let's see who will be dropped next week!!!!!!!!.....if it's on bad form out Miller and Newton. Reminded me of Whitnall round 22 ...CARLTANK. All those missed goals was embarrassing. !!!!!!!!!!!!

This cannot be serious!!! You are taking the [censored] aint you T.B....For your sake i hope so.

Goalkicking? That's in his head. That sh!t is easy. Building up his upper body isn't. He hasn't done the work - his arms have less definition than Bate and Matty spent his first two years on a wing.

He's a hard working, lead up forward that has 23 goals and 19 assists in the worst team in the AFL with the worst delivery. I have no idea what that extra 5 or 10 percent involves, but I know that he will benefit from a better midfield providing more frequent and pinpoint service.

He is already a good player, he will be better when we are half decent.
