Maybe they should just msg him....Hope youre enjoying your hols, no need to rush back. Or as hes notoriously into vid-games..GAME OVER !!

 

this is supposed to direct us to what particularly ?

Sorry I should have typed the title of the song and its singer.

'Break it to me gently' by Juice Newton

I'm taking the axe to a lot of the comments in this thread, in my view the comments are unworthy.

PM me if you have a problem.
 
Second list lodgement is November 16th, before the draft on the 18th. If Juice wants a crack at the main draft, that's his chance (doubt he does though)

Why do you doubt that he would?

If I didn't have any evidence to the contrary I'd doubt that he wouldn't want want a crack at AFL somewhere else...

Apologies for clarity, meant chance for the national draft - if Juice is going to get picked up, it'll be in the PSD


I'm thinking Neeld wants to give Juice a crack. Training doesn't start until November.

Third list lodgement is November 30th, ahead of the PSD and rookie drafts on Dec 13.

The coaches have nothing to lose by giving him a crack for two weeks. I think a decision will be made either way on the 16th - if they choose to hold onto him, they'll use the last pick in the draft to upgrade him, while if they decide to drop him they'll do it then as they surely wouldn't (can't? - not sure if you can use the PSD to upgrade rookies) wait until LL3 to choose.

Or the alternate - they just haven't decided yet. Still nearly 2 weeks.

Except all credibility.............do you not think that 7 years was enough to form an opinion?.........if they need another 2 weeks we need new coaches!

Ah-ha! Yeah, I'm not sure he'll get a shot somewhere but stranger things have happened.

We have new coaches. Apart from Royal, it's an entire new coaching team - thus the 2 week chance. They'll be aware from Harrington that he's on notice big-time though if he gets those two weeks.

That said, as I noted he could still go by the 31st.

Do you think Neeld might have assessed the list prior to appointment?. Given he played as earlier as 2006, opposition coaches would be well aware of his status. some of the new coaches like Leigh Brown would have played against him as well and would know where he is at. And FWIW, I cant say Royal, Viney, Connolly are likely to give him a ringing endorsement.

What would you see in two weeks after coming off an end-of-season layoff? Sorry but that's bizarre


Cam Bruce has taught me anything is possible..

Let's not forget that Juice has been part of the scene at Melbourne for seven years now and he came to the club as a 17 year old. From what I can gather, he has a lot of good mates at the club and given that the Scorpions are losing some players it wouldn't surprise me if, assuming he does get delisted by us, he ends up a Casey player.

  • 2 weeks later...

thank christ

Best of luck in your future endeavours Juice

Edited by Striker475


He had a good run....The Club gave him every opportunity.

Best Wishes Michael.

Melbournefc website has confirmed that the one and only Juice has been delisted. At last!!! All the skill in the world but no real heart or desire. I cannot believe we have kept him for so long. Amid all the debate about the merits of Dean Bailey, his retention of Juice is one of the biggest question marks of all. What did he show behind the scenes that made the coaching and list management people think he added something to our list? But now, one space on our list is opened up for some potential talent, not Juice's let-downs.

good

His very distant ancestor defined gravity, but Michael somehow defied it for seven long years, but has finally fallen.


Just cool it down guys.

A good luck will do.

You are kidding. The space on our list is a rookie spot. Keep sweating the very small stuff.

Indeed.

 

And yet, he played 28 more games than all you keyboard warriors.

Never understood why people take such joy in a player's career coming to an end. You mightn't have been a huge fan and you mightn't have agreed with each or any of the recontracting decisions, but that isn't some personal offence Newton has personally committed against yourselves. He's just yet another player who has now been and gone on our list.

He must've kicked a lot of cats around here, that's all I can think of.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
