If he ever wins a Brownlow then they need to make a movie about it. Wonder who would play Jai?Boy oh boy. If he had a tank...
These 20-25 touch games are going to turn into 30-35s.
That's Brownlow territory.

Ralph’y misspelled surrender"Prepared to concede"
How does get fkd sound.
Sam has mentioned previously that Newk coaches himself. He's self driven and self motivated.Sam on 360 “Nuke has been training that one step kick cause he missed one earlier in the year from 40 out, reckon his done it 100s of times in the last few weeks”
His going to just get better and better
Sam has mentioned previously that Newk coaches himself. He's self driven and self motivated.
He touched on Newk's mentality on 360 tonight, but also in this interview with Kingy and Cornes.
Around the 10.20 mark.
Covid. They just weren’t playing games in 2020.Pretty crazy that two guys in Jai Newcombe + Nic Martin are probably the 2 clear best rising star prospects but came into the system in really untraditional ways.
How can players with skill sets this good be overlooked with the amount of recruiting analysis there is these days.
He’s gotten so good so quick that his scope for improvement is actually already pretty small compared to a lot of others so his next 2-5 years in the system is going to be fascinating as he becomes the #1 target to shut down
I like it. Leigh Matthews 2.0. Better put some extra padding on those point posts.Once we get a deeper midfield we will be able to isolate him up forward. Scary prospect for a hbf to man up on and get dragged back to goal.

That's an oxymoron.
Not trumpeting, but I said last year in his few games that he adjusts to a new level and then exceeds it with every waking moment.
His trajectory is skywards right now, but he's not a top 10-20 player in the league.… ”more in his post”
According to 7AFL's twitter it's between Newcombe, Rachele and Daicos.
I prefer Newcombe of course I'm biased but perhaps the facts support him as well.
Looking at his stats, he averages a goal assist a game this year which is really good, especially for a midfielder.

Petracca was a massive disappointment for his first 5 seasons thoughNewc is a delight to watch, I love his explosiveness and power, reminds me of Petracca.
He wasnt fit enough. Similar to Hodge in a lot of waysPetracca was a massive disappointment for his first 5 seasons though
This guy is kind of like Dangerfield at centre bounces.
We haven't had anyone with this kind of explosiveness since Cyril.
Jai aint buyin' it.Jai 'nt' Newcombe is the weirdest nickname suggestion I've seen so far.
MVP: Jai ‘The Jai-nt’ huge in upset win

Absolutely, Newc is way ahead of him at the same age, I am comparing Newc to Petracca now although obviously Newc is not as consistent just yet, it is so great to have a bull in the middle.Petracca was a massive disappointment for his first 5 seasons though
Petracca averaged 19 and a goal with over half his possessions being contested and almost a goal assist a game in his second year.Petracca was a massive disappointment for his first 5 seasons though
Very similiar build to Petracca as well (you can both are they are so strong through the thighs which makes them ahead to tackle)Absolutely, Newc is way ahead of him at the same age, I am comparing Newc to Petracca now although obviously Newc is not as consistent just yet, it is so great to have a bull in the middle.
