    Why is that selection strange? He is a talented WA aboriginal who hasnt got the best out of himself yet, well worth a rookie list in my opinion.

    Apparently his body has only just got to a state where he can deal with being an AFL footballer and is only just starting to put on weight after failing to add any muscle during his time at Richmond.

    Hope he does well as he is pretty unfairly abused.

    I wouldn't have thought it was "unfair?!"

    Funniest thing is, is that he makes it look as though Newton has had a stellar AFL career!?

    Good luck to him. Hope he proves people wrong.

    This thread is a joke. Late rookie pick in the weakest draft ever.

    A late rookie selection, I don't see why he wouldn't be worth the risk?

    I agree. They take a punt on Oakley- Nicholls or they punt on a green young player. Either way its a punt with low risk.

    He could end up playing more Games than Newton & Meesen combined....

    28 year old James Podsiadly to Geelong was the rookie selection that took me by surprise.

    Maybe we should have given Saunter a go a few years back!

    I'd be beside myself in stitches if he got up to the senior list at West Coast and performed well. Why ?

    A: Richmond.

    If he is a W.A boy, then well worth a punt. Don't forget he was at Richmond so he was probably not able to show much talent in that Rabble

    12 Months with the "Chemist" as coach may juist sort him out....Don't Forget David Rodan played ordinary footy for richmond, at Port he has shone.

    I always wondered exactly the same thing - especially considering he continually dominated the VFL, one of those 'unlucky' ones I think... Unfortunate really.

    Tambling took a couple of years to show something too

    Correct. i actually hope Tambling becomes a champion because he has been very unfairly treated by Football supporters in general.

    People expect and want instant stardom now, which is why that awful "Australian Idol" show exists. Good things can take time.

    I hope our FD treat all our Potential "stars" with care and Respect in the next 2 years.

    That is unfortunate. LTI - there will be someone promoted from rookie list. Cameron Cloke will have his fingers crossed.

    He turned down AFL to concentrate on his business.

  • Quote

    It may be bizarre but it's not ridiculous. Certainly not something anyone would have thought would happen, but maybe the change of city and the removal of pressure as a high draft pick might spark his career.

    I doubt it though.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
