Leigh Newton (born 25 March 1976) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Newton, a ruckman, played 13 matches for Melbourne in his first season at the club, 1997. After being struck down by injuries the next two seasons and not playing a senior match as a result, Newton was delisted at the end of 1999. Despite being delisted, Newton remained with the club for many years, working as a ruck coach and media manager, before moving clubs to become Hawthorn's ruck coach in 2009. ==Early life== Newton is originally from Whitfield, a small town of around 200 people, located near Wangaratta in north-eastern Victoria. He began playing football for Whorouly Football Club, located near his hometown of Whitfield, in the Ovens & King Football League, first playing senior football at the age of 15. Later he moved to play for the larger Albury Football Club in the Ovens & Murray Football League,〔 before being selected to play for the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup. A ruckman, Newton played for Albury and for the Bushrangers in 1996, earning the attention of AFL recruiters by winning the award for the best and fairest player in the Ovens & Murray Football League, the Morris Medal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alburytigers.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=62 )〕 Despite not being selected in the 1996 AFL Draft, Newton was invited to do a pre-season with Melbourne in the hope of being selected in the pre-season draft. He had an impressive pre-season; his track work was described as "stunning", put on a lot of muscle and playing well in intra-club and practice matches.〔 As a result, Melbourne selected Newton with their first selection (third overall) in the pre-season draft, as a back-up for Brownlow Medal winner, Jim Stynes.
