Spud footballer. I hear Brent Grgic is doing wonders down Geelong way. Lets have a second crack at him.

Won a few flags with Bell Post Hill, who play in the third tier Geelong league... must be ready for an AFL call up now...

Another "Stellar" performance in a losing Norwood team 14 disposals at CHF including 10 marks.(8 contested)

A mate of mine who follows Norwood has said that he is playing very good footy at the moment!

I would not be surprised if there is interest from several AFL clubs!

Would be a good football story and comeback from a much maligned ( on this forum) player!

'picket', his performances probably deserved some criticism mate. He was always a good to better than good VFL player and had some exceptional performances at that level but it was only fleeting at AFL level.

Good luck to him if he gets another shot at it, he's doing everything right to make it happen and that's got to be worth something.

Yep lets throw Brock in and go the trifecta.

I seriously doubt Juice will get too much serious attention

Is that you Juice?

Juice Newton continued his fine form last night booting 6 goals in Norwood's last match before finals. This takes him to 50 goals for the season.

From what I understand from a source in Adelaide, two AFL Clubs are thinking about him for possible drafting next year and why not? still only 27, mature age has put on some size and is playing with aggression and kicking goals.

I for one would not begrudge a much maligned player on this forum another shot at it!

i'm starting to think i'd prefer newton over watts

nah....what am i thinking, it's not a race to the bottom, we are already there

I hope we are NOT one of the clubs interested, However would love him to go somewhere else and play good footy, would put egg on a few faces around here!

I fail to see the point of ridiculing a guy who has battled on despite setbacks and established himself as a top performer in a major competition.

Onya Juice.

Ah Smithy, the seasoned voice of good reason! Cheers, Fence!

Tell me this G Smith, do you think he would be worth another shot in AFL?

Posted

I have my doubts mate, reckon the pace of the game would make it difficult for him. If however he has put on muscle as you suggest maybe Michael could kick goals in the manner Hawkins and Cloke do.

Guess I'm sitting on the fence :)

in 7 years with the mfc the only thing juice improved on was his ps3 scores

At least he was productive off field.

Must have honed his radar.

Hnmm 12th in the Margarey Medal? not bad, not bad!

Isaac Newton proposed the theory of gravity - if you drop things they fall: Michael Newton's marking attempts often proved the theory.

PS: I would far prefer Leigh Newton, even at this stage, to Michael. Another very promising young Demon tall cruelly cut down by injury.

A one-trick-pony i.e. an intermittent powerful overhead mark interspersed with dropped howlers and embarrassingly unathletic at ground level .

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
