NEWTON SELECTED


Madness

Recommended Posts

Misled by the thread, he is saying. Somehow he thinks telling him Newton being selected to playing for Sandringham Seniors is misleading... :rolleyes:

Come on, you deliberately titled this thread "Newton Selected" to mislead people. You did it on purpose for a kick and you got the desired result. Don't turn around now and say you didn't mislead anyone.

Besides, that was hardly Rumpole's point anyway.

How are you being misled champ?

Who are you calling Champ buddy?

The nasty weather makes me think more and more that Yze will replace Neita.

Also wouldn't surprise me if they drop Dutchy and bring in Brown.

Nasty weather??? Not sure it is that bad Jaded.

For me Yze in for Neitz and Dutchy to full forward.

It's raining on and off, so the ground will be very wet and heavy.

Sky is looking nice and dark. I'll give it till about 6pm and then it is likely to bucket down.

It's also cold... very very cold.

Expecting Brock and Godders to have a night out! :D

It's looking likely to turn nasty is what I meant. Unlike yesterday when we had blue sky throughout the day.

Dutchy to FF is about as useful as bringing back Phil Read. Unless you just want him to be a decoy.

I really hope that the days of Dutchy missing from 10m out are over!

Odd, no rain on the western front...

Well it was raining before while I was driving home, OK?! :angry: :lol:

ive been inside all day so i wouldnt know.

It's cold and windy here...but it's always cold and windy here :angry:

Doesn't really matter if it rains or not, MCG on a Friday night in late June is always going to be slippery unless the dew freezes before it hits the grass. Then it will be REALLY slippery.

Bring in Yze, he loves kicking goals against the Tiges! Yze, Syvlia, Robbo and Bate will cut them up all night!

Give him time!

The Newton (non-)selection is definitely the biggest storm in a teacup I've ever seen in my time on Demonland or Demonology.

But what fun!!! I love a topic that polarises us. At least it's something to get passionate about...

Is it though?

The Newton issue is directly linked to having a successor for David Neitz when he retires, and at 32 y/o that's getting closer and closer. His injuries this year have exposed a major worry for our team and even after ten years of coaching Daniher has been unable to develop another key forward.

Lord knows the season thus far is nothing to be overly excited about.

True.

It's not like we've got finals to get passionate and excited about! :rolleyes:

If we didn't have the kids, we'd pretty much have nothing, and since we talk about the awesomeness of Brock, Jones, Belly, Bate and Sylvia (not so much when certain posters are on holidays ;) ) all the time, we got bored and decided to jump onto the 'Michael Newton is better than sliced bread' bandwagon.

I was really certain he'd play tonight for some reason, but I'm starting to think it was just false hope.

Its not over until the team sheets are in so until then, you never know.

I definately like talking about the positives rather than the negatives.

Well... I wouldn't say I'm not advocating it... just that the Ooooze loves playing Richmond.

But don't worry, Newton goes along rather nicely and I wouldn't be disappointed if he played! Haven't really seen the 29 running around and doing justice to "Hangtime" Shaun Smith for a long time!

    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
