I think this is a very good idea with the older players coming in. Newman IMO is one of the best footy brains in the country (Though he can be an idiot as Yze_Class said) and I will be hoping to see plenty of improvement in PJ and Jamar next year and maybe even Whitey as well.
 
Hopefully the ruckwork of Jamar and Johnson improves as a result, he is generally regarded as a fine ruck coach. This is now the second time he has been at the club? First time was in the 1990's when Jim Stynes was around.

Trying to get some tips off Jimmy was he?

:D
In all seriousness though, I'm very glad about this. We need a replacement for Whitey ASAP and hopefully Newman can help to develop either PJ or Jamar into that.
 
Thought he was only joining on a part-time basis but judging by article on melbournefc.com.au seems its a permanent move, might be a really good addition to our coaching panel, he does know his stuff.

Yeah I thought he was just part of the 'mentor' group, however its a good sign Sam has an even more involved role. He obviously sees something in the team.
 
yer dont mind this, sammy knows his stuff and i think the ruckman will enjoy his footy brain when it comes to ts difficult position and skill
 
thats weird, judging by tfs i thought he hated melbourne. maybe its sabotage:D . but seriously, knows his shizit
 
Even amid his stupid (and hilarious) antics on Triple M, you can tell the man knows a hell of a lot about the game. Sam is a legend, we need a ruck coach like him down at the Saints.

I'd imagine that Sam knows a bit more about rucking than you do, but still a valid point. I dont like the fact that he's connected so much to Geelong, really worries me infact.

Newman has one assest. He see it as it is as say it as he should. And that is just great.

its gonna be interesting to see what sammy says about us on the footy show now that he is the ruck coach
He won't change, he has been employed as a part-time ruck coach before by many clubs (although he is tightlipped about it). His most recent one was Carlton and he didn't lay off them on TFS or Triple M.

Would have been a tough task to lay off Carlton though, there such easy targets.

This guy is a bit of an idiot. Surely this isn't the way to go. So he's a good coach but will make us look a bit of a joke.

if hes a good coach he will make us better, which would make everyone else look bad.

But he is an idiot. He'll do something ridiculous, look like a fool and probably be gone by mid June.

yeah he'll do something ridiculous, ie. get blind on the footy show (maybe for real this time) but nobody would even associate it with melbourne. he would be doing a part-time once a week thing and 90% of opposition supporters wouldnt know he was our coach
 
Article on FoxSports saying Whites pretty happy with having Sammy in as the coach and all 3 ruckmen are learning plenty which is good to know.
