Far from it. You are entitled to cast negative shade on whomever you like. I just dont think that Newnan deserves it. Has averaged 23 + touches a game and I'd be surprised if he didn't finish top 3cin the B & F this year.I accept your view and don't think im being stubborn in saying Newman has a high ceiling but a low floor due to speed. His best is an 8 and his worst is a 3 due to lack of speed (in moments). Houston doesnt has that 3 in his floor is all i would say.
You could never question Newman's intent. I get it that you dont like me casting negative shade on Newman and accept that.
But my primary argument is that we have greater needs that we should focus on with our first rounder than finding a Newman replacement. I'd suggest that Cowan, O.Hollands and Wilson might hold us in good stead as young back flankers who might well fill the bill with Cincotta also in the equation.
For my money a strong key defender or a quick goalkicking midfielder (or a rare Petracca at the right non Harry McKay price) would be higher priority with our primary draft capital. But this is an opinion based forum so I understand that you might think differently.
