    That is the sort of mark every person dreams of taking when you play kick to kick with your mates at the park.

    Textbook. Awesome.

    Just love the split second of hangtime once the mark was taken.

    Oxygen sapping at that height!

    There are many things about this mark that remind me of Shaun Smith's at the GABBA.

    For starters they are both number 29 and they were both taken on their skipper's head.

    Such a good mark.

    It seemed effortless. He just glided in to the air - it was more of a forwards-upwards floating motion rather than Robbo's heavy-looking straight-up jumps.

    Truly awesome.

    If this is what Newton can produce in just his 4th game, it looks like we have a decade of highlights in front of us!

    Yep, great mark. But I voted for Staker. :lol:

    :o Finks, ban him!!!! :angry:

    Staker was holding his opponent & visa versa, the ball was just about passed him, he stuck out the mitt and took it as cleanly as a whistle, whilst pretty much being parallel to the ground.

    Was a great mark as well, but doesn't have the WOW factor of a true speccie. Juice got that one down pat easily.

    Definitely the angle on this thread...

    I saw it happen at the ground, from just about EXACTLY the same angle as the camera shot we've seen replayed throughout the week. I remember thinking "if this wasn't such a crappy match, and awful time to be a dees supporter I might be more bouyant.

    But watching it again and again... it just plain doesn't get any better than that. We over-use the word special, but in this case that's EXACTLY what it was. He even kicked the goal.

    The only thing denying it from being perfect was the fact that he was attempting to take it with his hands, which you love to see, but he ended up missing it and taking it on the chest. Not the absolute perfect execution but near enough to it, and technique-wise you can't fault the placement of a single muscle fiber.

    My mates and I were all prepared for a 60 point loss, so that highlight was worth the price of admission. I'd missed his first few games of footy because of work committments, and was afraid I'd miss his first bag of 4 or more. I'm just so pleased that after backing him in all year I rocked up and he didn't let me down.

    Congratulations Juice... You're well on the way to making hoardes of demons fans (all 17 of them) fall in love with you. Keep working the way you're working and you'll start to hear crowds applauding you en masse, and people cheering your name...

    JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is the kind of player who is capable of the kind of skills that bring people to MFC matches that don't even barrack for the red and blue.

    Is it just me or does Nathan Brown put his hands up and start cheering as Newton is plummeting to earth?

    Great leap, and great mark.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
