To select him simply because he's the most experienced is a joke
I have no doubts they dropped him so he wouldn't break the record for games played straight.

To select him simply because he's the most experienced is a joke
Quality melt.Yeah mate because these selectors and Richo are going splendidly and have proven they know what they are doing...
Also, all our young stars are developing fantastically and everything Richo s**ts smells like daffodils.
He was dropped to find form. He didn't find form.
To select him simply because he's the most experienced is a joke and sends a very poor message.
I have no doubt that if Dan wasn't sore, Newnes would be back at Sandy this week.I have no doubts they dropped him so he wouldn't break the record for games played straight.
He went off at the start of training with the physio's but came back out and did all of the match sim and was one of the best. But it was noticeable he looked sore every time he went to stand up.
We won't know until next week, but their story matches what was seen so it's hard to disprove it at this stage.
Nothing too severe I’m hearingSurprised it wasn’t ‘awareness’
Yeh saw him head up the race then came back out and did well.. had strapping on at the cafe later on but no limp or anything.
I'd imagine super precautionary
Do you think he will be ready for finals?
Well it seems a no brainer to me to replace an experienced wingman with an experienced wingman. If you reckon the best option is to replace him with an unsuccessful hbf - so be it.Yeah mate because these selectors and Richo are going splendidly and have proven they know what they are doing...

Well thank you for appreciating the qualityQuality melt.

We can only hope by 2021 he'll be lacing out Coleman Medalist Max King in front of 90,000 in a Qualifying Final vs Carlton
Newnes has 21 kicks, 4 handballs, 3 marks, 4 tackles, 9 inside 50s and was rated as second best for Sandy (behind Joyce).You don’t think the fellas could’ve shifted the magnets around? Coff or Clark moved up the ground or Sinclair or Acres?
For me it’s not about Dolts missing out but Newnes coming straight back into the side. Just sets a poor precedent for mine. On the back of his putrid past 18 months he didn’t do nearly enough last week to be reinstated immediately.
Yeah - stupid decision by the selectors.
Pretty much the least experienced team in the league loses one of its few senior players (210 games experience) - clearly the right move was to replace him with a debutant.
Stupid stupid selectors - sorry that's right - stupid stupid Richo - there's only one selector apparently.

Part of the issue is we don't have anyone down at Sandy to chose from, so he really was the best option to come in.
I mean, they were playing in hurricane like conditions so a high number of possessions was unlikely to occur.Still doesn’t look good for mine. Stinks of this year’s Weller. Been poor for far too long & needed to spend more time at Sandy. Billings went back & got it 50 times, Clark gets 30 regularly, ect.
Given he's been playing badly and everyone knows we're not in the hunt for finals - yeah, I think a debutant would have been more pleasing. Not sure about the "experience for experience's sake" thing the selectors have going on.
Is he behaviourally aware or physically aware?At least he's just aware of them then.

Which debutante?
I'm sorry but we don't seem to have an 18YO Nathan FYfe playing for the Zebs.
I'll overlook the fact that it was actually 8 possessions and 4 tackles.Couldn't be worse. There were options within the team itself to play on the wing. Acres, Sinclair, Hind even. Newnes has been a liability over the course of the year. I doubt ANY player, debutant or otherwise, would rack up a four possession game with no tackles and expect to play seniors again any time soon. The fact that an experienced player with so called leadership ability is serving that crap up and is recalled immediately after an average showing in the second tier, shows where the club's thinking is at...and mate, it's not good...it's lazy and dumb.
