I highly doubt that this would any effect on Newton the player.

Correct.

This is purely a way to get people to donate money to the club, and it is all a bit of fun.

If the Michael Newton hysteria helps raise a few hundred dollars, than that's great. I doubt he'll find out about it, and even if he does, I'm sure he'll feel a little chuffed and move on.

The real pressure on the kid will come when he runs out with the team for the first time, regardless of how the supporters might feel.

I think you'll find that most people just want to see him get a chance, not many are expecting him to come out and dominate. If they are, they need a reality check.

Alright I'm in......

$30 if (when) he plays & $20 if (when) he kicks a goal in the game.

Hope it helps!!!

Pressure of your first AFL game is high anyway, what we are doing is nothing.

Besides its a fun way to help the club out finacially and be funny if the club find out they could get $1k for playing the kid and their reaction.

Hell i sponsor a girl in Haiti, why a MFC player for a game.

Should we rename him the revenue maker? :)

20 straight up, and 10 each goal, lets hope its not 10 on debut

I was thinking last night that I hope he doesn't kick more than 3 because I'm very poor at the moment... Oh, the conflict of interest! :lol:

I think the Footy Show would love to hear about something like this if anyone has any Channel 9 contacts?

I don't have any contacts, but places like sportal might be accessible, and if you got to craig hutchenson via footyheads that might be an avenue to the footy show.

I'm busy at uni (don't let the fact that I'm posting instead of listening in class fool you :P)... you do it! <_<

In all seriousness, I can't access emails on uni computers.

I'll formulate the letter if someone else is happy to send it.

The timing of this is pretty good Jaded. Plenty of media crew are checking this site out this week, to see the reaction to ND post Richmond game.

Hey Hards, don't you have some pals down at SEN?

Not yet... mine start on Friday!

I've got a couple more exams to go too, but as can you see, I'm studying real hard at the moment :rolleyes:

Michael Newton intrigues me far more than the Australian Standards of fire hazard labelling for children's nightwear and such.

Fashion merchandising/ product development.

Sorry to hijack Newton's cause!

Its amazing what you can make up to get yourself excited for a game of football, when your team is second bottom and not a massive chance at winning many more games :)

I usually always end up on the wrong end of these things so to gaurantee Juice has a good first game I'll pledge $30 if he debuts and $10 for each goal + another $50 if he gats a bag of 5.

Seriously though, no pressure Juice, it's just the fact that we have had little to get exited about and this is one way to get the heart pumping.

hey jaded can we get a total update from here and demonology kept in the first post of the thread for us all to check out?

Ok, which one of you guys called SEN and told them about this thread?

Who on SEN mentioned it? Jeez, I hope ND doesn't leave him out to spite us :blink:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
