On good authority, (a mate who knows him) has suggested Newton is 90% sure to play as some one from the backline has not come up, possibly due to illness.

    Hope Foxtel looses the footy, or go back to a 24hr AFL station! :(

    Yep, one will be from me. The footy is the primary reason I pay such an extortionate rate for pay TV. Not impressed at all.

    It's painful, come on Mets finish it already!

    Press the red button on the Foxtel remote.

    What utter nonsense this has turned out to be. It was utter rubbish the moment you heard it. Threads like this I can't stand.

    The words 'on good authority' have no meaning, except that you can bet that it's no authority at all. That phrase is like the word 'rumours' that appeared so many times in that hopeless piece of 'journalism' in yesterday's Age about Fevola's gambling problem.

    The first 3 words says it all....

    Clearly a mate who does not know him well enough.

    I actually believe the opening post, because Frawley certainly didn't look right today.

    It's possible he was ill.

    I'll not pay for TV! No matter what!

    How did you guys fare? Did you see the start?

    I agree too yet saw Juice and Rivers at half time juice looked proppy walking around

    I would hate to see what type of bloke you are when we lose considering you posted after the game.

    So I got it wrong...Boo freaking hoo.

    Good authority was a guy who regularly plays golf with him and used to live with him.

    Smile, we won and lose the big dirty black cloud that you seem to carry around.

    And if you cant stand the threads....hmmmm....waiting.....hey I've got it....dont read them and only read the 100% true threads that pertain to facts and no opinions at all.

    Did Martin kick 3 again today for the scorps??

    If so, I think he deserves a call up as a second ruck to Jamar & a option up forward.

    Fair enough, I was a bit extreme. I'm very happy after watching the game actually. I thought there was enough stuff along the lines of 'Newton will be brought in' yesterday, mostly illogical. So you have my apology. But I do think something that's just hearsay shouldn't be lumbered with the phrase 'on good authority'.

    Just because it didn't occur doesn't mean the source wasn't decent.

    Bailey himself could have said Newton was a 90% chance of playing - it doesn't mean he definitely will.

    As for Frawley, I share your sentiments Jaded.

    Just cause Newton was talking himself up to a friend does not make the info less accurate. It's not a big deal.

    • 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.
