Bailey might be able to solve one of MY headaches.

Play Newton on Brown!!

Now I've been all for playing Newton all year (or most of it) His last chance I beleive this year to prove he is worth keeping. His last 2 games he has been servicable as a fill in ruckman,but so far he still hasnt done enough.

The limited time on the forward line today,he wasnt effective at all.

So IF Brown was to knock him into next year,I can move on.

And stop hoping Newton can step up another level. :)

Edit: typos (getting late)

    Today he was superman, fair dinkum could do no wrong.

    He's one powerful bloke, once he has got the ball he shows no fear if he is being grabbed at by one, two or three opposition players, he powers through them to hit a target by hand or foot. He & Grimes, early days still, but they must give the guys around them heaps of confidence.

    He did lots of amazing things today. My favorite being chasing down Burton on the wing and knocking him off the ball. Then finished with a pin point pass

    I thought Burton had him cold but Chip ended up doing it easily. Quality that lad. Pure quality.

    Don't think this beast of a man-child is getting enough love on here.

    I started a thread before pre-season stating he'd be AA THIS year. Many thought I was silly, and I'm relatively comfortable with my decision at the moment.

    I reckon it's one of those awards you have to miss out on once (just in case your season was a fluke, a la Carroll) before you get it, and once you have that spot you'll be in line for it every year til you retire.

    He's putting paid to the theory that CAC was a bad recruiter. Chip came out of NOWHERE in the last 2 weeks of his "superdraft" year. Already a sensational selection, and is probably, IMO, our most important defender. With respect to Rivers, Grimes and Warnock.

    Body work is just A-grade!

    Plays medium to tall and short.

    But the best thing about him is he runs forward kicks long or dishes off and runs forward. Thats right not sideways or backwards. but get the ball out of defence with speed.

    Grimes as well he has genuine footy smarts. reads play well and then goes wide or down the middle when asked. coaches dream

    he's a great bloke too.

    I remember at a family day a couple of years ago i was lining up to get some autographs and was just looking around and spotted chip walking in my direction. He saw me and came straight over to me, signed my poster and had a chat (I asked him for his tip for dreamteam). One of the nicest players i've ever met. The fact that i went to school in Ballarat and he's a Ballarat boy makes it even better haha.

    I'm wrapped that he's hitting his straps, because i was one of the people defending him when some clowns on this site were saying he was useless and needed delisting (this was a couple of years ago mind you, but it did happen).

    Anyway, Chip you are a champ son, keep it up!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
