I reckon Juice hides behind some rubbish bins when it comes to list lodgement and they forget he exists. Poor Tommy Mac, getting the arse from the rookie list before Juice must cut him deep.

Newton's 4th law: For every supporter angry at an unjust delist there's an equal an opposite mob angry at a puzzling player retention.

He was a solid NAB cup player sadly. I wanted him to be something special because he can kick a ball, but it didn't happen. The club gave hm chances. He tried but the crumbs just didn't come to him. A

Why delete Forkems and RRs stoush? I was waiting for RRs reply.

Wrong thread I think Golly. Check Saints Fire sale thread for that doozy.

Re Maric ... Not quick enough in both mind and foot for a quality AFL small forward.

Newton? What a hack. He should stop making Laws and start kicking footballs, because his time is running out - if it hasn't already.

Juice has a role to play - if we have Jamar/Martin and Clark/Watts at MFC with Gawn/Fitzpatrick and Cook/Newton at Casey - Fev and Campbell will be gone and Spencer won't be available until mid year. We'll get some injuries in that group.

Im glad there are others out there that feel the same way about Newton. If he survives I want answers. Yes I know he is a rookie but he is still clogging that spot for someone who in the future we could use. We have enough backup ruckman now and we dont need another foward. Seriously who can believe he is still with us after 7 years.

As I said last year. I never thought Id see the day that James McDonald would get shafted from the club before Juice. If Newton survives yet again then I reckon he has other issues that the club are helping him through. If he was around long enough to be a 10 year life member then that would be the biggest joke.

Mark wake up he wont help us. Get a young kid in on the rookie list.

Just playing devil's advocate for a minute... assuming we make no more rookie delistings, we will have three selections in the upcoming rookie draft. I doubt that there have been too many players selected in the fourth round or later of the rookie draft that have gone on to have stellar careers. James McDonald is the only player I know of (taken at the start of rookie fourth round) that has forged a stellar career from this low down in the pecking order. And 2011 is supposed to be a weak draft at the pointy end, let alone the rookie pool.

My point is, that while Juice may not have shown much in his seven years, the reality is we are sacrificing almost nothing by retaining him, especially if the FD see a sliver of value.

Now back to reality, it's probably a moot point as I suspect he will be delisted anyway.

Oh pleeze! I'd take my chances on a 1000:1 longshot in a heart beat rather than prolong the agony any longer. Do you realise 1 more year and Juice is eligible for free agency! Think about it.

Re Juice. Someone said it earlier, perhaps the club has forgotten he's on the list and Juice is keeping very freaking quiet.

Playing as Defence : wont get a game

Midfield : wont get a game

Ruck : Behind Jamar, Martin, Gawn, Clark (maybe spencil)

Forwards : Behind Watts, Jurrah, Clark, Dunn, Bate, Petterd, Green, Martin, Howe

I just have no idea how this bloke is on the list. None.

MFC do not have to fill all the rookie spots. I rather cut him and if no better option is available use the money on another coach rather than pay social security to Newton.

Couldn't agree more. 1000:1 shot would be vastly greater odds than Newton's. The guy is the biggest potato in the AFL.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
