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.

Fashion merchandising/ product development.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
