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

Actually, recruiters and coaches have already commented that he has the balance of defense and offense much better than other players his age... unless you're talking about Finn.

Wasn't actually taking about anyone - just riding the angst of posters that wasn't KID to play when not yet ready

I saw a play where Jai ran into the center square bounce area, collected the ball and ran straight into 3 opponents and tried to run over the top of them like a rugby league player, he is made of the right stuff.

Would be great to see if he does come in against the Swans, and runs straight into opponents and sit a couple on their ass, even if he is penalized for HTB, just to make a statement.

A mix of Daniel Rich/Ben Allan in his physical attributes.

There's a name I haven't heard in a long time - sure it's not the hair?

Hey guys what do you reckon the chances are of Newcombe playing next week?

Not even sure if he will meet quarantine requirements. I think it unlikely but I’m sure we will see him in the seniors soon.

I would say unlikely, but it's a crazy world, right?

First of the new legion of unsociable Hawks hopefully a few more come in this years ND.

Which one is it?
I must know!

Another of his talents is that he was born over a 6 month period. Although he still can't kick on his left.

Macca said he was 19 in his trade wrap video. So I guess that rules out months already passed in 2021

If this is Poowong, why does it feel so Pooright!

Here's hoping we roll Newc out vs the team formally known as COLA.

Doesn't mention Tom Mitchell. Mitchell trade confirmed.

He looks like Inigo Montoya.

Opposition midfielder...prepare to die!

I like the Ben Allan comparison someone said earlier

Doubt it. More Clarko to get him in to the fold, get to his his team mates and play with them in training and understand each other's roles and then get a game. Then again, our midfield is shocking so why not fast track it.

Its official. DOB: 02 August 2001 and Number 44 from the Hawks website. Only 19.

Club website still doesn't know that Lachie Bramble has a face!

Funny how these threads normally turn into what the player cant do .

He clearly has a few things he needs to improve on but gee he ticks a lot of boxes for what we really need now and moving forward .

Its a free hit for us and potentially a great pick up for us . We should feel pretty good about this .

Not sure if that's the reference you were making, but old Ben's name matches, so why not!

Just got this feeling that Jai is a person you would love to have you cover your back, be next to in the trenches!
