interesting to see ferguson AND bizzell picked up forward. thoughts anyone?

what the hell is newton doing on the half back flank, they better put him up forward and keep him their so he can kick a big bag

I agree 'kieranbj', sus' isn't it. Maybe PJ?

are there Demonlanders heading out to TBO this sunday?

Depending on the celebrations from the Dees and Aussie wins Sat night i am hoping to go see the zebs for the first time this season.

Yeah i am also hoping to get there. I enjoy a sunday arvo at sandy.

Does not seem like it's ever going to happen (bar accident). It's asking a lot of a 193cm youngster, used to playing as a specialist forward, to impress as a wingman or half-back flanker. Perhaps it's neither doing his chances much good. Might he not even be better off back in the twos? With Dutchy at CHB it must be the tallest HB line to ever hit the field in a VFL game.

I've added the reserves team to the post opening this thread. The player Newton named on the interchange is the brother of Michael Newton.

Newton would merely stagnate and rot in the 2s. He has shown that he clearly has way more talent than that grade. Unfortunately he can do all this without having to perform consistency. He is learning none of the disciplines required for senior football there.

i agree it would be nice to have him as FF. With Sautner at FF he is going to struggle to get a look in. So by playing him up in the midfield he gets to be in the play more regularly and be more focused with his game.

GO BRENT!! his the brother of Micheal newton

Is Liddell (in the reserves) Chad's brother?

Was just about to ask about that. Is he any good (happy to wait a couple of days for the answer).

We've spoken much about this in the past, and had a number of disagreements.

At the start of the year they were playing Dunn and Juice out of the square, for all of about 90 seconds before Dunn got his face crushed by Bo Nixon. From what I remember either Sauntner was rested or injured. Would there be room for both Sauntner and Juice in there?

I actually like the move of Newton of the HBF, most kids that are drafted have dominated their way through the junior ranks, mainly playing in the positions they want to and doing what they want. We have read from many posters that this kid has got enormous potential and raw ability. From what I've seen at sandy he is also unaccountable and sometimes very lazy. A stint in the backline will hopefully teach him to be accountable for his man and work hard to ensure he beats his man. Playing up forward is a tough job, if the ball doesn't come your way you need to have that defensive side to help kepp the ball in sde your forward 50m and apply pressure on your defender so it isn't an easy clearance.

We already have an example of a FF that as a younger player for the MFC player down back. Now he holds the games and goals kicked record at the club.

Is Weetra injured again?

im still surprised that Garland got a run with Melb before Juice did... in the absence of nietz and giving kids a shot you would have thought he would have been a chance... oh well... i might potter down to sandy today for a bit of a look

Ouch!

If Neita is not fit for next week, I hope they give Juice a run.

He is more developed and better equiped than Garland IMO. We really have nothing to lose.

agree jaded

ps love your new addition to your sig

Agree about Newton possible for next week.
