I am a diehard Melbourne & Norwood fan living in SA. You can imagine my shock, surprise & partial dismay when I read the following e-mail from the Norwood FC about our new recruits, including Michael Newton:

Michael is a Key Forward from the Melbourne FC who can pinch hit in Ruck if required. Michael has good mobility, is a good kick & a very strong overhead mark who will add plenty of strength to our team.

I understand that many Demonlanders are relieved that Juice is no longer taking a spot on the MFC list after being taken in the 2004 draft. Well, I've still got him! At least, Juice won't need to learn a new club song! Nathan Bassett is the Norwood coach and has had great success with mature age players (eg. Puopolo, Duigan). SANFL may be exactly the place for Juice to shine. I can only wait & see.

    He rocked at VFL level, so i think the Redlegs will do fine with juice.

    Juice will dominate SANFL. If he plays every match, expect 80+ goals for your beloved Norwood.

    Good luck to him and to Norwood.

    He should excell at the second tier competition.

    Been a Norwood fan for years and Newton will be very effective at the SANFL level

    How much do SANFL players get paid? Considering hes from Vic and has been living here, its a decent move just to play SANFL..

    Newtoooooooo!

    I can't see why you'd be dismayed. As others have said, Newton should do well for Norwood; he was a good VFL player for the last couple of years.

    This really must be the quiet time of the year but he should be good for Norwood. I wonder if Aussie will join him. He was at Norwood when rookied.

    The SANFL Redlegs could be in for a good season. They've also recruited the delisted Carlton rookie Jaryd Cachia and Port Melbourne Premiership player Nathan Batsanis.

    Good pick up IMO. He could literally rip a VFL game apart - just couldn't ever consistently bring that form to the AFL.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
