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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Likewise....

    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!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
