NEWTON SELECTED

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.

 
How are you being misled champ?

Who are you calling Champ buddy?

Sorry, champ! :P

 

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.

A little wet in Melbourne today then?

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

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

A little wet in Melbourne today then?

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

Forecast for Friday

Precis: Shower or two.

City: Max 13

 

Thanks for the weather reports guys......

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

Well, it's chilly enough up here, so you guys can have that ;) !!!

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

We can only hope :) !!!

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...

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

Might even it up, with Richo playing at the other end ;) :D !!!

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.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
