Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn : Jai “Duke” Newcombe - 2024 Peter Crimmins medalist

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Yes but in comparison, Gerard also ran a 5 minute radio editorial last week on how Libber should be AA

I mean, he should be....

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Yes but in comparison, Gerard also ran a 5 minute radio editorial last week on how Libber should be AA

Libba 100% deserves to be AA this season.

It will probably be a mix of:
The Bont
Petracca
Libba
Rozee
Butters
Dawson
Taranto
Anderson
Gulden

I expect Rozee, Gulden and Butters will get HFF and one wing spot. Surely they'll love having both Daicos brothers in the side, with Josh getting the other wing and Nick getting a HBF spot.

 

[Billyc]

Another 10 Coaches Votes, and into 14th spot.

Imagine having two of Newcombe or Hodge. You can never have too much.

We do have a ‘second Jai Newcombe’. His name is Jimmy Worpel…

Nuke and Reid would be an unstoppable combo.

I just want it.
It's right in front of us.
TAKE IT FFS.

It could be our version of Oliver,Petracca with Day or version of Fyfe.

Stacks up quite well!

 

[Khmerhawk]

Getting serious, modern day Lethal Leigh feels from him now…

Built like a Sherman tank, but can dodge and weave with the best of them.

And has a cool mo.

Ok, maybe his mo isn’t as cool

Being a Norwood supporter I see a lot of Gary Mcintosh in him. He's almost a clone.

[extractasam]

Watching the replay of the goal he kicks on the weekend - the contest work from all was amazing.

Kosi lost the tap - immediately puts a block on worpels man in Macrae, Worpel feeds to Nash, who handballs back to Worpel who immediately blocks Worpels man. Worpel is then in 10m of space because Macrae is out of position due to Kosi’s original block…. You know what happens next.

Sorry for a little off topic but if you get the chance to rewatch his goal, take note of how keen we are to block at that stoppage and it’s the sole reason we are able to score that goal IMO.

Doubt that he drinks anywhere near as much as McIntosh did.

Didn't have the guts to play Hawthorn so he retired.

I heard talk they wanted to shoot a commercial with Jai Newcombe and a tiger. During the shoot Newcombe had to sit very close to the tiger and hold up a product, but as he approached and crouched to sit, the tiger let out a low growl. The tiger handler, quietly said "Get up very slowly, and and slow as you can back away with no sudden movements." So the tiger got up very slowly, and and slow as it could, backed away with no sudden movements.

Very funny and a perfectly set-up. A literal LOL from me. I dip my lid to you sir. Now go back to grumbling as I think you are breaking the matrix.

Wasn’t that Brendan Godard’s comment on Worpel??

 

[robiecampbellbrown]

progressing quicker than all the elite mids did at his age. Will be comparable to Petracca Oliver and Bont sooner than people realize. Underrated because he was not a top 5 pick when in actuality he is better than most if not all of the top 5 picks of last 5 years already (Daicos is the only one who may be better).
Must be AA but he won’t. Gryan Miers will for his 0.3 goals per game

But Gryan Miers is Leo Messi

 

[I got the outside word]

Unfortunately there's no way to know unless Champion Data choose to share it on a whim. Dustin Martin has the record currently, with 68 - that was set in 2017 but it has only been tracked since 2011.

He broke 69 tackles against the Dogs. Record broken.

 

[big footy cyril]

On the Foxtel first crack show they said they see a young Martin in him.

Martin wishes…

 

[barbster]

Martin wishes…

Worpel would be more Martin like, especially with his fend off
Newks more like a young Lethal
