Good luck to Newman. Looks small but then again he is a small forward. In the nicest possible way let's hope he can be like a Milne for us*

Can someone post his DC result (if they're not up here already...)?
Why does everyone say he wont play for a year or so? He's a small forward, it's not as if he's going to end up huge, is his endurance sub standard or something? Surely we could just sit him in a pocket and tell him not to leave the 50? Probably a bit over simplified but you get the idea.

Well, you take what you can.
Ah, all makes sense now, thanks.

Neither Newman or McInness did testing at draft camp due to injury. Might have made them fall abit further than they would have.
For what its worth, Newman weighed 70.4kgs at DC, abit better than the 67kgs that has been floated.
I am very excited about this kid
Cool, so he's already got heavier than Notte.
LOL!
Yep so pleased we got him - very exciting from his highlights and exactly what we need. I hope to see him get a taste of it this year. Him and Weedon will cause problems for sure.
personally think hes a lot more midfielder than forward in the future but to get a game for us over his first couple of seasons he will have to play forward as he doesnt have the frame for the midfield yet.

Hopefully Newman can have an immediate impact, he's a very similar size to Bond - the 94 GF vintage.
We all know Woosha anyway. If your midfield, your going to play HFF/FP for at least 3 years

You mean like Shuey, Gaff, Kerr?
I hope Newman plays in a FP/HFF we really need a fast, nippy, goal sneak.
Shuey plays almost exclusively HFF. Rarely hit centre square this year. Bad example
I can't remember Kerr and Gaff is an outside runner so its a lot easier to be underdeveloped on the outside.
And I mean like Masten, Ebert, Stevens, Swift, and if you include HBF S Selwood started there and so has Sheppard.

Well if you're going to have 8-10 midfield rotations, your midfielders are going to have to contribute in other areas of the ground, most likely HFF/FP.
U18s highlights the club has posted. Don't think there is any new footage from the highlights on AFL.com.au though. Could be wrong

Cheers Scooter. He looks like a very tough player. We should make a rule, no drafting soft *****. Rather a team of Selwoods than a team that consists of players like Stephen Hill.
Sorry Steel you're off the mark there. Shuey was in the main centre square rotation (with Priddis, Kerr and Scooter - one of the 4 usually on the bench or on the HFF) for almost the entire season.
In addition Ebert got a full season in the centre square in 2010 (only dropped back to HFF in 2011), what limited opportunities Stevens got were almost exclusively in the centre square and the same goes with Swift (who generally only played if Kerr was injured and so took his role in the 'rotation').
I think the thing that impressed me most about his highlights there is that he showed a lot of poise and was not only able to make the right decisions, but also able to make changes depending on circumstances and still find the target.
