Senior 24. Nic Newman

[Aphrodite]

 

[Styxx]

Replaces Byrne.


Astute call hipe he kills it.

 

[agro]

DFA's are only players who have been delisted.

Sydney had offered him a 1 year deal.

He would of had to go into the draft otherwise

Fair enough, but this leaves us with, I believe only a first round pick in next years draft.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Hellooooooooo Newman!

 

[Jimmae]

Upgrade on Byrne.

No

 

[Soapy V]

Great pick up. 25 year old big body that can play several roles. Adds to our depth and competition for spots. What we need

and he only cost us a Drakes Coffee Cake

 

[Blue and Silver]

Fair enough, but this leaves us with, I believe only a first round pick in next years draft.

Two third round picks. Ours and Adelaide's

 

[LanceRomance]

Why was he not best 22 this year?

 

[T2B_]

But can he run through the midfield?

 

[HBF]

Welcome to the footy club Nic.

 

[AB_Blue]

Great Byrne replacement

 

[Sammoll]

Why was he not best 22 this year?

Don't actually know his circumstances but he played 11 games this year and he was in the Swan's 22 for their elimination final (+20 games in his debut year in 2017 including all of the Swan's finals.) So it's not like he's a nobody who can't crack their 22.

 

[Blue and Silver]

But can he run through the midfield?

Nah...Yeah

 

[Pablito]

I like him and think at worst he adds depth and helps cover for the loss of Byrne.

Just to play Devi's advocate, does anyone see him actually breaking into our best 22 barring an injury crisis?

Seems like Aaron Mullet all over again. But this time we paid more.

 

[BoltonsBlues]

I hope he succeeds for you guys. I also believe he was very unfairly maligned by a lot of Swans fans. In truth though he was one of the best kicks in the Swans team and in 2017 showed a tonne of promise, cementing himself in the best 22 that year.

Not only a stella 2017. But played 8 of your last games in a row including week one of finals and going of stats.... looked to be averaging about 18-19 pos per game. Brilliant byrne replace ment.

 

[gbatman]

Hopefully an Agresta special. I wonder if he will be best 22. Need is there for a quick, skilled and smart attacking half back without doubt.

 

[BoltonsBlues]

Fair enough, but this leaves us with, I believe only a first round pick in next years draft.

And two 3rds?

 

[BoltonsBlues]

No

Yes

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Welcome big Nic!!!

Can't wait to see you in the Navy Blue

 

[T2B_]

Not a bad highlights package. Was admittedly maybe expecting a padded out video with a few tackles, maybe a decent field kick or two, some regulation spoils, but he can do a bit of everything it seems.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Yes

Lol no.

 

[BIuebagger]

If people fret over us paying a future 4th for him, then I don't know what else to say. Provides depth at HB and push into the midfield if needed. Seemed like he just had an off year, his 2017 was pretty good from memory. Seems like he can lay a tackle well and cracks in. Played forward down in the NEAFL for a bit as well, so he's been working on his offensive craft which may help as he rebounds off half-back.

Welcome Nic, make the most of it. Looking forward to seeing what he produces in navy blue!

 

[rog1995]

Left foot is a weapon and loves to tackle. Big upgrade on Mullet. Left footed Tuohy.

 

[Jabba73]

Welcome to the New Man. Always going to be a rookie with that name ...

 

[ferrisb]

[Blubagger71]

Love lefties with a canon. Welcome to the Blues.
