And you have got to be kidding.

Thanks for that Jon.

I think if you read carefully you'll see that I've not praised Bryon to much, referred to Neville's game that I liked in "a quiet sort of way" and said Newton played really well in the second half. Hardly high praise. I just disagree with you on Neaves. That's what opinions are about, and thanks for yours.

I tend to differ about Byron. Why do you reckon a class player like that was running around for the whole game at Sandy?

    So Newton can run as well as mark, Fan . Pretty promising!! Trouble is, he won't get a chance at FF because of Sauts. Is he big enough to hold down CHF? Running and creating is the big requirement at CHF, as well as marking. You do have to go in and get the ball, there, though, and from what you say, that's not his forte.

    You're probably right Jumping Jack. The word is that Sauts kicked a lazy five in his first gallop for the year. Newton will probably have to play further afield but I don't think he's physically (and also perhaps mentally) ready for the rigours of FF so I'd suggest they keep him on a wing or a half back flank till he learns the caper.

    Fan, appreciate the run down as always.

    We're lucky to have people on here who take the time not only to go down and support the fellas who play at Sandy but also come back and fill us all in.

    Might catch you Sunday if you're going.

    Where is Newton likely to play then?

    Saunts at full forward.

    Dunn or Miller at CHF

    Newton third tall or wing?

    Really dont want to see him at sandy 2nds all year again.

    The reason that Newton spends a lot of time playing for Sandy seconds has nothing to do with ability; it has ro do with application. If Newton shows form and dedication, they will find a spot for him in the firsts. If he can't show enough to play regularly in the firsts, I expect that this year will be his last.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
