Sammy Newman

[croation-sensation]

What was he going on about on the footy show if Geelong lost
Will he go through with it ?

 

[Souup]

He also said Geelong were a certainty for a 40+ point Win

He put $500 on Geelong 40-59

 

[Ed_Gein]

Not sure what you're talking about. But he would go through with it, if it was a dare. After all he did say he;d wear a tutu if the Swans were to beat the Roos in 95. They did and Newman turned up to the MCG at Carlton vs Collingwood wearing a tutu if my memory serves me correct.

 

[Adrian1]

what did he do ??

I know on the radio he had $500 with TAB Sportsbet that cats would win by 49-60 points (could be wrong with margin)

He was going to get the "team of the century" painting back from the club.

Whatever

Maybe he threatened to be a respected football journalist

I didnt even know he WAS a journo!!

"Personality" yes
"TV Star" yes
"Special comments man" maybe
"****wit" definitely!

But journo!?!

Setlle, Edward is a journo

Ummmm, i thought we were talkin about Sammy here...

We are but its a nice irony when Eddie has a spat with the Journo association and Sam keeps quiet

Neither are journos..yet Sam never denies he is..Edward pretends he still is

Does he?

Maybe you pretend, he pretends he still is?

 

[Katthawk]

They are celebrities. ten cents a look, two hundred thousand per show.

 

[chapmanmagic35]

It's a very good painting, but in the end I guess it is his and he can do what he likes with it.

If he takes it, so what really...it is nice to have the original but they can always get the print.

Does he?

There was an issue ( forget what) where he was offended he was not considered a journo

 

[Quinz]

Heh. Sam Newman is a tool. Hope he carries out what he said, it'll make things interesting.

 

[tomthetiger]

TBH, I think the Geelong supporters would actually back him up for once, and even help him carry this through.

So what if he takes a painting away?

The players in The Club did it, when they thought that Jock and Gerry were looking to appoint Rostov.

Worked a treat, as after that Geoff got off the pot and started playing some good footy, and we won the Grannie!

It was thirty years ago. or so. Get over it. Silvernuts. ie er silverscreen. ie get over it.

 

[Katthawk]

Hey that applies in both cases. .

 

[eddiesmith]

I would love to see Sammy coach the Cats, I reckon he would do a sensational job and they might realise their potential, but it looks like Bomber will be allowed to destroy the club on his own

Would Sam want to coach? He hasn't the patience

 

[eddiesmith]

He could be the Jock McHale of the modern game, walks out when they play , turns the hot water off

 

[Paul.]

Don't be fooled by his arrogance, he is a clever man. I'd love to see him coach a football team, I don't think he'd be afraid to drop players getting on his goat about anything.

I hope he goes through with it, afterall, he's a supporter of the club who is very frustrated, and rightly so. Off the field the club is flying, on the field they're a joke. Something will change.

 

[tomthetiger]

He is extremely clever and knows a lot about the game, despite his lack of knowledge of the players or games that take place. His opinions on the way the game is and what not are usually spot on to. However, he wouldn't be a good coach, I mean, can you imagine a man like him trying to instill discipline on a group of young men? impossible.
