Newton to play

[whitito 187]

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.

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

[olgreydingo 51]

Just heard on SEN. No changes to either side today.

[Guest watts04]

Would rather play Martin than Newton anyways

Juice = gone

Yep, me to mate. This thing better end or foxtel are going to get some nasty letters. For god sake if I miss the boys run through the banner there will be trouble. They have an American sport over-riding an Australian sport in Australia...something isn't right here

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.

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

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.

[Felix 92]

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.
