Looks like he could be a real nugget in due course

No HBF potential?

As a lifelong Jacob Newton fan since five minutes ago, I'm thrilled

 

[mitchzz]

Could have found our Loch Rawlinson replacement here

Savvy pick

He is going to be completely bamboozled when he experiences that the laws of physics do not apply to WC kicks into the Fwd line but rather go like this:

I don’t wanna be negative but those highlights don’t exactly fill me with excitement. Mostly marks on a lead, no forward crumbing really which is what we desperately need in a small forward (considering we bomb it in constantly), and I’m not sure how he’s gonna go in the midfield when he’s 179 & 79 kilos. Seems like another Nosh Long. Hopefully I’m wrong and he turns into a best 22 player.

An actual decent ruckman would have been nice.

I love an oval you can sit in your car and watch and beep the horn .

There are no decent ruckman in the state leagues that would be materially better than Williams and Flynn.

Jacob Newton Draft Profile

Norwood's Jacob Newton is a tough, hard-working small prospect capable of holding his own both in midfield and up forward.

central.rookieme.com

Newton showed off some transferrable AFL skills, proving to be an opportunist in front of goal who was equally committed to applying himself defensively as a pressure forward. The Norwood and Rostrevor product earned the Ron Coleman Award for South Australia’s Best Team Man, capping off a strong carnival in which he also managed six goals, to be South Australia’s second leading goalkicker.

Managing just a handful of games at SANFL Under 18 level as he balanced school football commitments, Newton did his best work for Norwood through the midfield where he proved to be difficult to slow at stoppages, highlighted by a 10-clearance outing in Round 1 against North Adelaide.

Despite spending the majority of his time in the centre of the ground, Newton occasionally rested forward where he was equally dangerous, averaging more than a goal a game. A foot injury kept Newton out of testing at the 2024 National Draft Combine, where he would’ve loved to have shown off his athletic ability, having tested strongly in the 20m sprint and vertical jumps in preseason.

---

Despite limited opportunities at the National Championships, Newton proved to be equally capable as a midfielder throughout his junior career. Thriving at stoppages, the Redleg proved a capable first possession winner using his speed and deceptive strength to power through contact and create separation from his opponent. A one-touch player whether he’s taking the ball in the air or off the ground, Newton rarely fumbles making him hard to corral. When second to the football, he brings intensity and defensive pressure, making it difficult for his direct opponent to secure clean possession.
