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?

From reading this thread from start to finish I am thinking Picket Fence could be Juice...that or he's just an idi@t.

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.

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 .

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
