Newman only on one kick, injured?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

This Wood kid from Subi has a bit of talent.

Spitting chips at Tedesco from my couch; he's been pathetic.

Something strange going on right now

Reports Murray Newman has left the ground. Packed up and took off at quarter-time.

Nick Rynne ‏@NickRynne
He's nowhere to be seen near the Swans' bench and didn't appear injured. Will have an update at half-time.

No doubt about that. Just a very smart footballer.

Interesting that Steven Edwards was named in Claremonts best in his reserves debut.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Murray a late in for tomorrow?

   Neale Daniher and Justin Longmuir from West Coast both at the game, both trying to figure out why he left.

   Swans officials now say it may not be a family issue. It looks like he's just taken off.

Harding and Newman haven't got along well for a long time.

 

[Scooter#10]

he hasnt just...given up on footy?

Harding and Newman haven't got along well for a long time.

hmmm didn't know that.

 

[Shupe]

Harding and Newman haven't got along well for a long time.

Doesn't matter.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Doesn't matter.

Not saying it does. Just might be part of what's going on.

 

[Marlin01]

Apparently Worsfold ran Newman down before he got to the gate.

In his car...

If there is no external issue and the reason he left is just because he's spat the dummy, that speaks volumes about the bloke.

You mean aside from the fact he still has a potential gaol term hanging over his head.

If...stress if...he's simply had a dummy spit then it's time our club moved on. It'd be funny if we end up replacing him with Garlett.

 

[the harry]

Well.... at least this could be interesting being his sponsor instead of just reporting 10 kicks and a goal in the wafl every week... bit of a worry though.

 

[JordanWCE]

Worsfold challenged him to run another 3km time trial, so he packed up and left.

 

[West Coast Weasel]

Heard about it via social media which is a bit worrying. I hope for his sake its nothing troubling

 

[Shupe]

You mean aside from the fact he still has a potential gaol term hanging over his head.

Do you mean this as a possible reason for bailing on the game? Or as speaking volumes about the bloke?

I can't speak for Newman, but if I were in his situation, I doubt I'd be able to think about anything else. It would be very hard tk concentrate on other things like footy.

The career of young West Coast forward Murray Newman is in serious jeopardy after he stormed out of the ground at quarter-time while playing for Swan Districts today.
The 19-year-old had played a reasonable first quarter against Claremont at Claremont Oval but walked straight into the rooms at the first break, grabbed his bag and left without speaking to Swans staff.
West Coast football operations manager Neil Daniher was seen speaking to Swans officials at half-time, with the reasons behind his disappearance still a mystery.
Newman is on fragile ground at the Eagles after attracting a grievous bodily harm charge in an alleged nightclub incident last November.
He then returned out of shape at this year’s pre-season training, being beaten in an early run by 44-year-old coach John Worsfold.
Newman was drafted by the Eagles at pick No.23 in the 2011 National draft and played four games in his debut season.

 

[the harry]

So... this is actually pretty serious.

 

[Shupe]

I can't speak for Newman, but if I were in his situation, I doubt I'd be able to think about anything else. It would be very hard tk concentrate on other things like footy.

Serious? Geez, I'd relish the chance to play some footy each weekend. You've got a few hours of not having to think about other issues in life. Put it all out of your head for a while and have some fun.

Oh well, I'm sure we will soon know the story.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Whatever is going on in that kids head should be dealt with compassion and support instead of mockery and scorn. Clearly has his demons.
