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.

My god we get off topic easily...

Sorry to hijack Newton's cause!

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players.  Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin Boeing 737 flight to Perth for this upcoming team-bonding, fun-filled, weekend getaway.   This cross-continent Round 4 clash at Fremantle Oval starting at 2:05pm AEST promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies slight favourite.     If we lose, finals will be remoter than Rottnest Island and the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday, an omen.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
