Re: Jack Newnes
thumbs up from me.
cant believe he is ahead of ledger. but nonetheless looks like he is going to be a good player. did some nice things and competes well. not far off the pace at all.

Re: Jack Newnes
He looked over-awed on several occasions in the first quarter, handballing anywhere as soon as he got the ball. It was a big game, lots of pressure, he is inexperienced, light body.
Needs more games, more composure and belief in his own ability. We will see a much better player against Gold Coast.

Re: Jack Newnes

Re: Jack Newnes
So, I've stuck my neck out on this occasion. Something I don't normally do, so I can accept the opposing view from posters and that's all good. I know Newnes has done nothing that has that WOW factor at this stage, but in his very first few games since being drafted he has not looked out of place in the games he has played. I think he will develop a surety about his play - one of those hard-working dependable types. I'm not stating that he'll be a star. Jason Blake looked like a 200 game player when I first saw him, and he's never been a star. But he is a fair way ahead of Cripps, in my opinion, even though he is a year younger.

No one would give a round one pick for him so he should be publicly shamed for it. Dave Mission should be lynched for picking him because i can't spell Pelchen or Elshaugh, he made us go to Seaford too where there aren't any cafes.
The board should be sacked because they didn't sign Lyon who's a s*** coach but a better s*** coach than the s*** one we got. Roooey, Goddard, Lenny, milney, Montagna, Gram, Fisher should be traded for 20 number one picks in next years draft.
Blake, Gilbert, Clarke and all our youth are all sub standard duds who should be delisted before the end of this sentence. Have you noticed how not one of our players is Chris Judd? No wonder we aren't any good. If Jack Riewoldt had come instead of Armo we would be awesome.
That feels good to let out.

Don't worry putting yourself out there is good, it actually adds to the discussion rather than potters who just hide behind rocks ridiculing people. Jack Newnes is an impressive kid, was very highly rated as a junior and has handled that back pocket role well for a kid. My comparison was Cripps who was recruited as a backline runner but looked completely out of his depth in the NAB when played there.
Newnes has obviously gained the attention of the people that matter and is being fast tracked for a reason. I think I would be pretty confident in saying that of the guys recruited in the last 2 years he is jumping ahead, so on that he is as good a chance of being a 200 gamer as anyone coming through. Keep it up if your right you can bump it and look like a genius, otherwise someone else will make a big call and everyone forgets.

Re: Jack Newnes
Watters did liken his leadership qualities to Lenny Hayes during the pre-season. And later stated they expected Newnes to be elite in 12-24 months.
Watters rates him. Very highly. And I'd expect Jack to play a few games here and there throughout the season.
He did look out of his depth in the first half and I expected him to be subbed. But to come out and actually have an impact in the second half, show some skill, and pace. In one of the most high paced, frenetic and finals like game this year...Think Scotty might be onto something.

Yeah.....Big call nominating him as a 200 gamer.....Teflon wrote:Did ok wont be saying he 200 gamer just yet...
I'd like to see him comfortable at this level first before predicting his longevity

Re: Jack Newnes
Big, early, stupid call but I can see glimpses of Dal and Pendles in him, which from memory is what coaching staff alluded to on draft day. At the moment I can only see glimpses but he is a goodun. Id be happy to carry him moreso than a Gram, Gilbert or similar.

Re: Jack Newnes
Looks out of his depth size wise but seems to use it well. Ultimately he locked down King pretty well so a passable game.

Re: Jack Newnes
He was very highly rated and heard good things before draft day. He was talked about like a top 10 pick so I think he may have slid down the order a bit or we got a steal.

Re: Jack Newnes
Mayve so and one of the game commentators agreed with you but I also thought he was a Rbbit in the spot light early in the game. He also clearly admitted the pace was more than expected on the AFL site video.cwrcyn wrote:Rabbit in the headlights??? Surely, you must be kidding. This kid will be a REALLY GOOD PLAYER for us.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Go to the tape
You will hear Tom Harley giving him wraps in the richmond game - he's a better judge than this forums Internet heroes
For those who did not see the gold coast or foots ray games - go to the tape. .
Plenty of upside

Re: Jack Newnes
I think he did well in the second half.
He certainly looked a little intimidated in the first quarter, but by the end, he actually had some juice left in his legs when other (older) players were pretty well spent.
I loved his centering kick in the last quarter, when he was running up the wing, under pressure, and he hit someone(cant remember) right on the chest...
that gave me hope, if he can be as composed and acurate as that moving forward, he will be a great fit! (he might need to be the good boot that accepts the handballs from wayward kicks such as jones, and gilbert)
