"He struggled for chances last year, playing mostly in Sandringham's reserves, for whom he kicked 52 goals, including 12 in an afternoon. Tall and rangy, he made his debut four weeks ago against Essendon. He had already kicked a goal yesterday, from a free kick earned against Glenn Archer, definitively the hard way.

Newton, fired with youthful zeal, was not prepared to leave it at that. Frequently, he dashed forward, wanting a part. Without the least sense of subordination, he waved his arms to direct older teammates to pick up Kangaroos opponents. From his vantage point, it would all have been so clear."

Believe it or not, this kid couldnt get a game ahead of Brad Miller

Its clear that Daniher had something against a couple of players. Hopefully now with a new coach on the way we can stop some of the old fave's getting special treatment.

I remember when Newton was drafted there were rumors going around about his attitude.

There was some story about how he took a mark and the siren went and he made his opponent stand on the mark and umpires stay on the ground while he had a shot. but he was in the back half of the ground.

Interesting him directing players around. He was drafted to replace Neitz and it looks like he is spot on the money. Another great job by CC.

That's just a bit rude Y_M, and i'm going to issue a title change.

For the record, it was Danners who drove into Juice the need for balls of steel. He was always going to get a run this year, it was a matter of when Juice 'got it'.

And where are Colin Garlands balls of steel? Wait no, forget the kid Garland.. where are Bruce, Johnstones and Yzes balls of steel?

Food for thought

For all the discussion about his mental immaturarity I just don't see it. Since he got a game he hasn't once shown anything that he was accused of, but the stupid thing is that if all those comments were actually true then it would have taken alot more than a couple of games at Sandy to sort out.

Garland has only just taken up the sport, out of everyone on our list he needs game time with Sandy the most, why he was picked earlier in the year is an absolute mystery.

These aren't isolated incidents, questions has to be asked about Bode and Neaves as well.

Newton is in his 3rd year at the Club and his development has been more than a couple of games at Sandy. He has always had the ability but had not always had the application nor the belief required to fulfil it. His showing in his first MFC games reflects the benefits of having the education he has had.

I think his development could have been much better and much quicker but there is no way either one of us can prove who is right, however there are other examples that I've already mentioned that backs my theory.

From what I have seen of Newton I dont think he fits that theory.

I see that Bode made the best players for Sandy this week. Maybe that is a watershed moment for his career.

He's been playing well for the last month, or more.

Is it too late to play rookies?

Wouldn't mind giving him a couple of games, now that the season is well and truly and over.

The kid has a long way to go to be a good AFL player on todays performance. Not quite a "champion" yet as some on these forums were suggesting.!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
