Newman's efficiency with his kicking is part of the fast play that allows us to break from half that and even setting up goals to the forwards...... For example both of Silvagni's Port Adelaide goals in the first quarter were from precise wheel and go precise placement kicks from Nick Newman

the goal that got us within a kick in the semifinal against Melbourne to \Motlop who was another example of Nick Newman precisely weighing his kick

and you don't measure pace nearly by straight line running however running effectively to get into space or to make a tackle and apply pressure.... To get into position to make an interception

The ability to read the play first because he can anticipate the drop of the ball with superior judgment is also a Nick Newman speciality

making tackles stick because of the extra determination and technique is also a Nick Newman special

under those circumstances how  can you rate Hayden Crozier in front of Nick Newman even when you are looking at Pace and break away attacking football

Nick Newman is also the captain of the backline in setting up the entire setup behind the ball together with Jacob Weitering
