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? :)

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.

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
