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.

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

    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:

    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!!!

    Downgrade successful. The boy is free to play. SEN advice, no specifics.

    Excellent news that he got off, although he probably did deserve a week just for stupidity.

    Do you wish to change your advice?

    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.

    Great news.

    Am very much looking forward to the reports of how he goes during the VFL finals now ;)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
