Why doesnt Newman play through the midfield

[Pav for AA]

The best field kick in the side, hard and the ball, good pace good size and a hard worker.

Very rarely does he waste a kick.

He is needed more in our defensive half i think. we are young back there, he is there to give some spark to the kick. He can also take a mark and kick it out of danger well, which gives us a boost.

Connors to back pocket. Newman middle.

You know it makes sense.

Scarily enough it does except I'd rather he had a few more games under his belt before replacing Newman back there.

Course it does most of my posts strike a nerve because they hit the mark

 

[Ah Cheung]

Maybe he doesn't have the endurance yet due to his leg????
But surely next year he should get a run through the middle..and yes, I agree Connors to the back pocket.

No. Some fights are bigger than that.

Hey Pav, say hi to PattisonMiller when you see him.

You dont like the idea of Newman running through the midfield?

Personally i don't think he has the speed or the smarts to hold down a midfiled role. I think he is tough hard and honest as the day is long and think he is well suited to the role he plays now.

Just don't think he can cut it in the midfield. - C'mon Chris, prove me wrong.

I'd rather have raines working on his kicking skills over summer then tried in the middle.

I was reading when he was 1st told he will be playing down back he will there until he reaches 50 games and then will be looked at being moved into the mid. He has definately gone backwards though this year, so maybe a change to the wing or HFF would be better or off the bench for stints on the ball.

Regarding Newman, can't see both of them moving out of the the backline and as suggested, his leg may be an issue. Great he hasn't had any problems with it (that we know about). Like him playing off the HBF myself!

 

[jumpinjimmy]

Got it the wrong way around. Newman stays where he is and Connors to the midfield - the kid is a freak.

I think you're right. Good enough at what he does, but not to cut it as one of our main midfielders.

Why can't he cut it in the midfield. Don't you want your best disposers of the ball to be kicking it into the forward 50 not out of the back half. Our kicking to our forwards has been our biggest problem this year. Try him in there for the final 3 games. At worst he will provide a hard physical presence in the middle, at best he will do this and pick up 20 touches which with the majority of them hitting the target.
What is there to lose.

Geez over the last few years he would have lost just as much as the tigers have lost

At least he can feel our pain

Do we need him there? Maybe he can become a winger, so he can get more Inside 50's.

At the moment, we need him down back and will need him until someone like JON or Casserley or even White are ready to take his spot down back. I reckon Hartigan was in line for it but his time is up.
