[benbanjo]

A, Does he have the Rhys Shaw recommendation/seal of approval ?

B, Could he bring Jake Lloyd with him ?

Listening to BT is bad enough i dont think i could handle it if we had Lloyd

ANDREW GAFF
Sam Edmund: “It sounds as though he’s made the decision, ‘I’m just going to knuckle down for the next week or two at the Eagles, park it, and come back to it when (the season is) done’.”

Sounds done....why mention "at the Eagles".....if genuinely undecided, its simply "I'm just gonna focus on doing whatever I can to help the boys/club whatever for the next week or two, then make up my mind"

newman was really impressive in his first year. i rate him.

didnt see much of him this year. did he get injured? form drop off?

 

[The Dingrel]

Jeez I'm torn between St fiddler giving up top picks v Sydney getting top picks.
If there was a way that Sydney could completely duck up a draft pick then I'd go with that, but it's highly unlikely they'd stuff up.

Sydney will be there abouts every year with or without top picks from St Kilda, very well run club. Id rather keep laughing at St Kilda.

Won’t be coming... the players who ‘tour the facility’ soon discover there’s no cafe and the deals off.

....and if they stop to count the towels they just laugh and walk away.

I'm ******* worried about the reports of a sauna going in.

Going to look like a steamer full of savaloys.

Usually they’re already confused from bumping into Montagna during the tour, too.

 

[DuckYeah]

Whats reported Hall is being offered the contract? Is it 450k front loaded then less there after?

 

[GreatBradScott]

Summary from a Swans fan:

- Poised and good decision making but technically limited ball use (will find the good option but not hit the precise one).

- Not a huge amount of leg speed, pretty good in defensive 1v1s and can play outsized.

- Solid small defender

Played in the final v giants with 15 disposals.

Or Spongey floor!

Newman is a reasonable player, he accumulates a lot of ball.

Will be cheap, have no issues with us picking him up.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Stats from last year (2017) for Newman

• 78% tackling efficiency - 3rd best of the top 200 for tackle attempts.
• 5.1 intercepts - 1st for anyone to spend at least 55% of game time on the wing.
• Swans scored 31% of time from his intercepts - 3rd best of the top 100 intercept players.
• Was almost 400 metres gained per game.

His tackling alone would get him a game with us.

Should be a moneyball, Newman. Question is whether he takes Morgan's spot or Wright's if it goes ahead.

I reckon both are in a spot of bother. I don't mean that disrespectfully to either of them and think Wright has something to offer still, but I just feel there won't be anymore sacred cows when it comes to list management.

It will be either Morgan or wright imo

I think Wright wants more than just one year hence why he hasn’t signed

Yeah Bowen confirmed that.

surprising that we aren't in the hunt for Wingard.

Can't have everyone...

We've parked that million dollars for someone else.

The Sydney defender had received the eleventh hour call up to replace Ollie Florent for the club’s Round 8 clash against North Melbourne.

After being dropped twice in the early stages of the season, Newman knew he had to seize his opportunity or face another agonising stretch in the NEAFL.



And grab it with both hands — not to mention that piercing left foot of his — Newman did.

The Mornington Peninsular boy racked up 35 touches and 11 marks across halfback, earning four coaches’ votes and his first win in the process.



All making sense now

 

[Horizons_00]

surprising that we aren't in the hunt for Wingard.

Thinks football is simply a “job” and personally, he doesn’t even like AFL

Bit of a hard case imo and plus due to the above reasons he is inconsistent

We are screaming for a small forward though but I reckon he plays better in the middle
