News Murray Newman Elevated

[Prem87]

"The West Coast Eagles have today elevated rookie Murray Newman to the senior list in place of key defender Mitch Brown, who has joined the long term injury list.

The decision to elevate Newman means the tenacious forward could be in line for a surprise return to senior football against Sydney on Sunday."

The forgotten talent on our list. Would love him to break into the team this year as we definitely need some of his pace, skills and class in our team - especially at Selwood's expense.

Must be a chance this week given the elevation. Maybe hill won't get up or is set to be dropped ?

he needs some game time to repay the faith

I'd Love nothing better than to have Newman in the side but don't know who would go to accommodate him...Selwood reads the play much better and is a proven mid so it's hard to see him going and the only other possibility is Hill who has also earned his place and would be dead unlucky to miss out. On the other hand, Hill did have an injury last week so maybe Newman has been picked to replace him if he can't play.

Maybe Hill's shoulder needs a week or two. Got crunched hard and was amazing he played out the game.

Maybe simmo knows the stat about lecras and is dropping him for this game

It was Newman who called up 6PR to inform them of the stat.

 

[LordHaart]

Selwood reads the play much better

Not sure I buy that he can ready the play without moving his lips. But I'm unsure of Newman's form in the WAFL so I shan't compare them.

 

[Marlin01]

I'm not up to speed with the latest rookie list rules. Is there some cut-off period for elevation that expires this week?

If not, I'd say Hill is injured and Newman will play.

Didn't Newman kick 1 or 2 against the Swans in 2012? Simmo's playing the percentages.

 

[Matele]

Newman in at the expense of either Hill or Selwood surely?

 

[moog]

he could be a viable sub option should selwood go out and hutchings moved into the 21

There was a cut off period during the season to promote rookies . This may be the case for West coast promoting Murray plus it gives him xtra confidence and incentive .

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

This definitely bodes well.

There used to be a cut-off of Rd 11 for upgrading one rookie without needing to send a player to the LTI - that is not the case in this instance.

The timing is very interesting.

 

[WCE_phil]

I can't be bothered looking but in regards to LTI's is there some quirk there where the 8 weeks must be during the season? Because if so we are guaranteed 1 final as it stands 7 remaining home and away + 1 final = 8 weeks thus meaning we can elevate one and brown can still potentially be back for round 1?

 

[Doughboy]

Well done to Newman

Lets hope we can see him in action soon

 

[eagles rule]

Great news for Newman but can't possibly be fit to play on Sat .

 

[wirra44]

Seem to remember this happen to Brad Dick a few years back , he was in alright form , randomly got elevated , everyone got excited he was going to play that week and then he wasn't even named a emeregncey

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Great news for Newman but can't possibly be fit to play on Sat .

Why?

Anyway - he'll be fine by Sunday...

 

[wirra44]

Seems like there still strapping his hand heavily, probably just precaution
