I dont know why people are so critical of Newman!

Let Saturday night tell the tale, but like someone said previously, only a hand full of players are cemented week in week out. Newman is definitely one of them, he is in our top 3 in my opinion.

Newman should stay where he is, because his defensive skills are of great beneit, although when played man on man, his accountability is something that you have to question. In saying that, he isnt a man on man backman, using him on the back flank/wing is ideal for everyone.
I can just see our opponents half forwards arguing about who gets to play on Newman. Oh no please not me. :-[

Lets just eat away at our own like we always do.

I honestly cant believe some of the no brainers getting on here and bagging one of the most commited and talented players in our side. He has played for the club from day one and it will stay like that until his career ends.

Anyone who has half a clue about what they are talking about regards Chris Newman as one of the best players in our team. On Triple M after the Essendon game all the panelists talk in high regard of Chris and rated him up there with our best.

9/10 so far after snapping his leg last year, uses his brain just as good as any other player in the team and rarely wastes a kick.
Instead of the personal abuse why don't you try and answer the criticism. Chris may be one of our better players but b/c of his lack of respect for opponents he remains a liability in our defensive half and costs us plenty. Why not try him on the wing?

Terry Wallace plays all the creative and effective players on half back. Chris obviously isnt the most accountable of players, yet he isnt a player that naturally plays at half back. Just like Joel Bowdeon, his best football is in the middle, yet with the style of game that is evolving, players like Newman, Bowden and Deledio are played down back. The same way McLeaod is played down back at Adelaide.
 
Re: Newman

I want to hear two words after the game.

"Heello Neewmaan" as the commentators ask him how it feels to crack it for a win on his 100th

Well done Chis Newman. Hope you lead by example and have a blinder.
 
Re: Newman

Well done Newman. Can be a bit loose at times, but otherwise a well rounded player that we have way too few of.
 
Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

Best wishes and congratulations on your 100 tough and determined Tiger games milestone Newmo. Eat 'em Alive. :clap
 
Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

I'll echo your sentiments Rosy, well done Chris on your 100 games. :clap

Especially in light of the way you've returned from the broken leg.
 
Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

Well done on 100 great games.
 
Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

Well Done Chris. A great effort to reach 100 games so soon after such a serious injury.

He's been a rare ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleak year.
 
Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

Good to see him make a great comeback. Hope he continues his role on the wing and pusing further up the ground like hs has the last few weeks. One of the better kicks in the side and one of the few on our list that doesn't have a glaring weakness.
 
Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

Yep.
Great recovery from injury.
Well done.
 
Re: Congratulations on 100 games Chris Newman

What was going on there? I only caught the last 5 mins and they must have mentioned it 3 times. Were they extracting the urine?
