I'm glad he's challanging, as Matthew Llyod and Quintin Lynch got off on similar ones in the previous weeks. On the back of the Buchanan one as well...

If they get the high contact down a notch to body then he may escape with a reprimand.

He won't get off.

It was just a stupid thing to do in the last game of the year.

It was completely unnecessary & he should plead guilty.

Michael was late & deserves to be suspended.

It was a rookie mistake & I hope he learns his lesson.

You haven't even read the thread have you? Surprise yourself and try to understand exactly what's going on.

I do agree that given the total lack of intensity in the game due to Blues obvious tanking and almost total lack of tackling it WAS stupid and Newton maybe deserves a week for stupidity, espcially if means he gets rubbed out for Sandy also. Could help them in quest for unprecedented 4 in a row!

Was clearly late & is something Michael must learn from - as he has been borderline a couple of other time this year. Will cost him at an important time for MFC if keeps doing late bumps. He is a big boy and maybe limited ablity to change course quickly but needs to judge better given AFL policy.

On a lighter side Byron' almost classic hip and shoulder on Waite was a rare highlight during the circle work on sunday night. Waite saw Byron coming and before Byron pulled out Waite threw himself backwards and landed on his bum - almost in the middle of the G. Problem was Byron missed him totally!! :lol::lol:

On the Morning Glory, they said that Newton would miss for Sandy if he is suspended for the AFL

They were guessing.

I have seen the incident now several times and the contact by Newton's shin to the back was nowhere "near high contact" and far softer than most marking duels. It looked bad front on but was nothing from the rear view as shown on Foxtel. The rear vision actually shows Newton trying to turn his body away from the player and he succeeded with evrything bar his shin. When I compare it to Buchanan's it is laughable. It was late but was minimal contact and he should at the very worst get it reduced to a reprimand if he doesn't beat the charge altogether.

I'd say perhaps Newton has already learnt his lesson. I agree that his actions were stupid but he's not being charged for that. The MRP are limited to choices of Intentional, Reckless and Negligent.

funny how it appears the MRP havnt viewed all the footage, or perhaps didnt view any at all.

and they clearly havnt look at their own guidelines or compared the incident to recent incidents to make sure they are consistent...

what do they actually do then? make guess based on the umpires written report?

I haven't seen the incident ... and I dont care

CONTEST CONTEST CONTEST

There are faults in every legal system similiar to the tribunal system.

Melbourne never contests and it's about time it did!!!

Good stuff. I thought at the time he might be in a bit of trouble given the inconsistency of the tribunal. I'm glad he doesn't have to go into 2008 with that hanging over his head.

MELBOURNE forward Michael Newton has beaten suspension at the AFL Tribunal and escaped with a reprimand for charging.

Newton will now be eligible to play in Melbourne's first AFL match of next season, as well as for the club's VFL affiliate Sandringham in their finals campaign.

    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.
