"Juice" Newton

Featured Replies

Posted

Out of all the disappointments this weekend the standout was BarPen passing on the news that Newton did not appear interested when playing for Sandy on Sunday.

Can anyone who watched him, and/or knows him, please shed some light on where his head is at?

Because I am seriously worried!

IMO if Juice is fair dinkum about building a career as an MFC KP forward then he should definately putting his best foot forward RIGHT NOW!

Could be the coach.

Bails is a hard man, and perhaps Juice does not feel the love with Bails at the helm. If any of our young brigade of players has taken a step back this year, I would have Juice at the top of my list. 2008 should have been his year, but has done nothing in the 1s or 2s. FFS, he took mark of the year last year and other supporters were becoming green with envy of this new KKP prospect! Since then, a big fat NOTHING from juice!

I am not sure where his head is at, but I can tell you where it will be if he does not turn it around. On the chopping block trade week!

I am hoping Juice can pull it together soon, with an ageing forward line, the forwardline is begging for the next Generation to take over. I hope Juice comes back soon........................

Based on his performance against Hawthorn I don't want him in the side until he puts in more of a defensive effort and works on his mobility. Having said that he's the future of our forward line so he needs AFL game time.

His head appears to be in the clouds.

He has talent, no doubt, but we know too many players who missed their chance at a career because their heads were not in the right place.

Bailey will either sort him out, or ship him out. Maybe if we get rid of him now, we can get a good pick for him, that is if Bailey really sees no hope for ever changing his attitude.


Looking at our key forward stocks during the off-season, it was obvious there were some serious issues. We'll be losing 1000+ goals soon from Neitz and Robertson, with next to nothing to replace them with. I had hoped Newton would be able to take on full-forward, with 'hope' being the operative word. What I had seen since his arrival at the club had give me little confidence that he would 'make it' as an AFL player. Even when he manages to snare a couple of goals, he rarely has an impact beyond that. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see him improve out of sight and cement a key forward spot for the next decade, but I'm not getting my hopes up. We may see a smaller forwardline as the season progresses. Ultimately, the move of Green to full-forward could be something Bailey at least experiments with in the last 6 weeks of the season.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
