List Mgmt. Welcome Jacob Newton (Pick 9, 2025 MSD)

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

To be honest I think he was clearly going to get another year already but this cements it id say. Should have that HF role waiting for him to claim

 

[Cuzz09]

I like that he has a non floaty kick

Go well young lad

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

Clarko calls him Newts.

Hope he nails someone so I can say he just got Newted

 

[KBLT]

If he smothers a kick, is he applying his first law?

 

[Bender_]

Let's hope he's not all torque and brings the pressure.

 

[FKASC]

This poster had him ranked around the 45-50 mark in last years draft rankings

Phantom Draft - eDPS Rankings & Draft Discussion 2024

He is good but I don’t have him in the top 5 for it I think he could go a fair bit higher than some predict, I think he's being very underrated personally with his dash, ball use and potential upside and not too far behind Tobie Travaglia in that regard.

He went at pick 44 in this phantom on the Essendon board:

Competitions - 2024 Mock Draft

Same as usual. Trades have to clear the usual rules. Double ups allowed if not enough people sign up. I'll take Fremantle Rules: 1. Trades must be within the 200 point threshold between picks or include future picks 2. Clock is on between 8 am and 10 pm. Need to take your pick within 8 hours...

Still laugh at some posters melting we didn’t take a 25yo state league journeyman with no elite attributes over a 19yo kid who was unlucky to miss on being drafted.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Einstein better

It's actually Newton vs Leibniz.

Leibniz had better hair, more skills and was duel sided.

Newton’s 1st Law is get a AFL game in first season ..

 

[sey666]

Newton is the apple in McQualter’s eye.
He likes to stay stationary when stationary and when moving he will keep moving with the same velocity unless acted upon by an external force opposition player. He will show more force once he gains more mass. Hopefully he will have an equal and opposite reaction to every opposition goal.
Newton’s rate of change in attitude has been remarkable and he differentiates from the other WAFL players. His selection is a derivative of hard work he put in since drafted in the MSD. Newton does not seem to go off on a tangent and could be integral to the forward line. There are so many variables but Newton to soar defying gravity in AFL debut.

 

[RookiePick]

Einstein better

Relatively speaking?

 

[jdisc]

have you ever just sat under a tree and wondered why apples fall like that

 

[ziad]

Great to have a new kid to look out for.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Particularly when it’s a mango tree…

 

[Hangover Noir]

I heard he has great acceleration- 9.81 m/s2 is elite.

Dual.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Persist. Not sure he’s a small forward, I think he’s a mid who will likely never be big enough to play the position, but when a guy has it on a list so devoid of guys who have it…just sign him up.

IMO he is a keeper.

Clarke Kent don't mess this up.

We drafted him as a keeper. Worry not

 

[FKASC]

Definitely has it - composure, quick decision making, clean hands. Shit that should be a minimum requirement to play AFL but unfortunately lacking in so many of our players.

Will be super frustrating if we don’t offer him a contract

He seems very competitive, which is one thing Mini seems to love.

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

Would see him as a Lachie Schulze type operator - if he can match Lachie’s spunk and hard work, he has a future

How old is he? Was he eligible for last years draft? If so he’s essentially a first year player

Yeah, went undrafted last year as he had an injury. He's 19, I think.
