As a Sandy supporter can ND please please pick Newton for the Dees and lets see if the kid is up to it and stop the constant whingeing about Sauntner and Sandy stunting his prospects.
As far as the alliance is concerned I would think most Zebra supporters wouldnt care too much which way the AFL decides to go in the future. Yes its been nice to win flags on the back of some Melbourne players but dont forget the SFC also gives away a lot of its independence and internal club control by not being a stand alone club.
