NEWTON SELECTED

Madness
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
