Juice Newton

[master bate]

He worked on his tackling and chasing to get it to AFL big man standard.

He now needs to work on his strength in a contest both one on one and on the lead. He drops too many marks he should take. Besides that he needs to improve his set shot kicking. It's a lot to improve in one preseason but if he can do it he can make it. Otherwise he can't. Being in a good side would also help him but I think you learn most about your players when you see them in a bad side as we have been the last 3 years. Juice has more moments of rubbbish in one game than Jurrah does highlights in 5 (and that is a lot), but he also always manages to get a few shots on goal (although most are points).

I believe we mark Juice too harshly, yes he's been there for 4 years now, but was drafted bottom age wasn't he, so the first year was not going to be much. I think we just believed he was going to be our saviour when he took MOTY, but he's disappointed since. I think he's a confidence player, so needs and extended run at senior level to prove (to himself, if anything) that he's good enough, and I think we'll see the real Juice. He's worth persisting with for a year, whilst we develop our forwardline and young Jack gets himself a man's body.

Yes, this would be why Cheney is on enforced 'holiday' now I think...

Of all the players to be passionate about and get red carded over...

For mine he has one more year to show something or he can play out his years in the bush. It is up to him. You can have all the talent in the world on the training track but if you can't do it at the top level then you are a list clogger who is holding back a better kid.

"Juice" Newton???...it should read "Goose" Newton.

That is all and thank you very much.

I was hoping that you wouldn't mention your "Goose" campaign so that I could come into this thread and say "hey AFL, who no "Goose" campaign?" but it just wasn't to be.
