Newman

[nut]

Watched todays game on TV and he looked out of soughts. I didn;t catch who he was playing on so he may well of played an mportant role.... BUT he needs to improve on that performance IMO.... looks way out of touch and turned the ball over on numerous occasions..... If Dea and Batch continue to improve I really cant see a spot for him.

He might need a weeks rest to freshen up. His leadership obviously adds value to his position in the side but on todays performance he was a liability.

Umm like who'd come in for him?.....bare in mind whie will be out

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

was great again IMO .

I do think he needs a "rest" .... but you are right we are not exactly in a position to rest players with the outs we have.

I dont agree , was one of our better players following a very good game last week

Sick of this being said about Newman, in every freaking game I see Newman stem flow atleast once or twice at critical times, he knows what he is doing leave him the hell alone.

 

[jeff99_Au]

he is being tagged most games now. he add way to much in the backline great kick great head on him. drop him ur joking

 

[theflea]

i still think he doesnt do enough.

 

[Greggy]

Played his role.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Was at the game today and thought Newman played a fairly servicable game. When Batchelor and Tuck kicked out after a behind in the last Q, I was wondering why it wasn't Newy! Please, never let Tuck kick out again!

 

[Nuffers]

Always does his role, and organises the defense. I think we would struggle without Newman in the side.

 

[captain blood 17]

Newman was fine. We kick straight and we would won by 12 goals. Everyone did their bit.

 

[theflea]

Played his role.

i just think he can be such a better player. maybe when we get another player to take his role he can be a damaging winger. at times this year his kicking has been shite.

That's just ridiculous, sorry.

 

[nobulltiger]

Think he's been playing well, wish he'd sneek up and kick a goal though.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Needs to have 30+ possessions and 3 goals a game to be worthy!!1!

 

[theflea]

That's just ridiculous, sorry.

well you are entitled to your view but imo he can do better. have a look at some of the earlier games, his kicking was crap.

he is getting tagged. Foley and Martin out means he cops it.
He is not getting much space to work in.
Take Newman out and Houli will cop the tag

 

[ize_]

One of our most important players, and absolutely vital to our defence in terms of structure and leadership. Take him and Rance out and our backline would crumble like an under 12s side.

Why is Tuck kicking in? Seriously.

foley and amrtin dont get tagged, cotch and lids do. there is a difference with a run with role as they tend not to be so tight. i cant remember who was on him v melb but mckensie is their tagger and frankly anyone else aint much chop. if newy doesnt then run enough to break the this supposed tag then he is not working hard enough which is what i said.

i have watched every game this year and watched him train and play at AMMI, had the best kick in the team IMO.

imo lids is our best kick by a mile. and while his kicking has been good lately early in the year it was pretty ordinary.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

If the basis of Newman getting nervy about his spot in the team revolves around Dea and Batchelor going past him well I doubt very much he's lost one minute of sleep.

I'd. Rather Newman lining up for goal over lids.
