Michael Newton injured

[Demon_Tingles 211]

Reading some of the boys twitter it appears that Michael Juice Newton has broken his arm. Not sure if its serious but for someone who was apparently looking ok down back and surely on his last chance its not great.

Could you please be a bit more specific as to which of the boys is twittering that story?

Matthew Bate tweeted - "Good arvo at st kilda beach with @newto29 and his plastered arm. Both cooked!"

[Demon_Tingles 211]

Michael Newton also tweeted about his arm

Can anyone with Twitter tell him not to think about scratching it?

[Sir Why You Little 37,120]

Going by that above "Twitter Banter" it hardly sounds serious or a tragedy, but i dare say the papers will tell us more.

[DemonDing 56]

Massive loss....

[Demon_Tingles 211]

I was being facetious when I said tragedy. Although people don't say their arm is in plaster if it isn't.

Perhaps his arm has been drinking and was plastered?

Yeah i know, that's why i am interested. Michael didn't sound concerned at all..Strange???

[Demon_Tingles 211]

well hes not exactly going to be carrying on and crying on twitter but I dont know if it's serious or not.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

And this is why I hate Twitter.

sure, but you can usually tell if someone is flat or devastated. If juice wants a career he has to play this year.

Must have strained his wrist playing Playstation or something, couldn't see it was from over-exertion on the training track. In any case this is more of a set-back as opposed to tragedy. At least there is no chance of him hurting a colleague in the practice match.

[Demon_Tingles 211]

You hate twitter because some people posted something about Michael's arm? wow I am hopeful its not serious because I for one (and I may be the only one)would like to see Newts deliver something this year.

I hope not, he was playing in the practice drills, so he must have done something then. So, it can't be real bad at all if he's at the beach already. So I'm hopefull he'll be up 'n' about to try to resurect his career.

So whats new?

[Adzman 2,154]

Bad luck for Juice. He really needed a solid pre-season to give him a good chance at playing at this level.

Hopefully he has a speedy recovery and can make the most of his rookie spot.

What I hate about Twitter is that people often read too much into SMS length pieces of information. Whole news stories are now written based on one-off Twitter quotes that often have no substance behind them or are just a passing thought of the person who writes them.

Yeh mate, spot on, last year when Wellman left Ricky Petterd wrote sumthin bout Frawley being [censored] off, he later had to clarify what he meant.

Exactly bro I just wish something inside his brain clicks ... ala Col Sylvia he is talented just not dedicated enough hoping this year he finally shows consistently what he can do.

[Demon_Tingles 211]

@newto29 Day off tomorrow, off to see the specialist and hopefully get out of plaster and into something alot more comfy!!

I spoke with Juice briefly at training today and he confirmed to me that he has broken a very small bone in his wrist. I think he said it was called the Trapezium bone. He said he did it at the very end of Friday's training session and that he would be out of action for 6 weeks.

Have to agree Dazzle, for some reason lots of people have a soft spot for him as I do.... except I don't understand why I do at all. Just hope he realises his talent, maybe gets a bit of mongrel about him, realises that he is a fairly sized unit and starts to take the game for once!!

I thought moving him to the backline was a great move (even though it was an exhibition game) and he might be made accountable instead of roaming around looking lost like he usually does. Hopefully the backline creates some intensity in his game for once!
