"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.

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.!

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
