"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.!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    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.
