I'd have Newton and Michie in my best 22 at this stage, without question

Based on what we've seen this far, I'd agree with that.

On the other nights game, I'd have both players ahead of Grimes and M.Jones.

I guess that is the beauty of the pre-season, players will be rewarded by their performance leading into the real thing.

If that is a measure of our best 22, then atm I'd have Newton and Michie in our best 22.

I reckon this concept of "depth" is very overstated here. We've got depth in developing talent and footballers with potential but we don't have 30 players who have proven they can play consistent AFL

Grimes is a leader at the club for a reason. He is actually a leader. I am always absolutely impressed whenever he speaks, especially for someone so young. A quality individual. And, prior to the N

Newton's spot in the team was all but certain anyway, in my opinion.

I'm a grimes fan, besides his disposal, but i really think he needs a few weeks at casey.

the kid can play but he really needs to take the weight of the world off his shoulders, get back to enjoying footy and find some good form, he and Jimmy toumpas scream to me as blokes who just think way too much rather than backing their talent and acting on instinct

Apparently Newton had it 19 times yesterday. I cant say that i really noticed him that much...I think Michie had it 4 times in the last. Michie needs a full game to see what he can do and i think he will get that vs Essendrug. Be good to see Newton play again as well. I'm not sold on either at this moment in time.

As a side note, i thought Grimes was good vs Dogs. He disposed with the ball within his limitations, did not try to do too much.

Newton is a lock for round 1 for me, he isn't flashy but he will consistantly play his role and use the ball well, and in my opinion he is AFL standard rather than someone like Matt Jones who i consider borderline.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
