Not sure what else Webster has to do tbh. Before he broke his hand he was our best player along with Seb and Robbo
I love the fact that he doesn't blindly bomb the footy to a 50/50 but goes for the impossible kick at times
Sure it doesn't come off but when it does we invariably score. Webster's a fantastic counterpart to the more conservative Robbo.
Newnes I genuinely don't rate and I think Savage is best 22 till Coffield/Dmac/etc go past him

St Kilda defender Jimmy Webster thrived this winter amid a new-look back six, producing the best season of his five-year career at Linen House Centre.
The Tasmanian played 18 games – the most in one season of his career – and only missed games through a hand injury and suspension.
Just like fellow backman Dylan Roberton, Webster started the season strongly, weaving together a career-best patch between Round 4 and 7 where he averaged 25 disposals and collected a personal best haul of 29 disposals against Greater Western Sydney.
After a strong first half of 2017, an undisciplined clash with Fremantle midfielder Nick Suban in Round 15 sidelined him for a couple of weeks, bringing his strong campaign to a halt.
But in a sign of things to come, Webster helped fill the void left behind by Leigh Montagna late in the season after the dual All-Australian strained his hamstring.
After gradually building his game in the last couple of years, Webster has laid the foundations to elevate his football to the next level in 2018.
Performance of the year:
Round 7 v Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium: 29 disposals, eight contested possessions, six marks, five rebound 50s and four spoils.
