Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
He killed Richo off ten seasons too early
Richo was still travelling better than Newman back in 08
Another situation like Kingy. Kept for too long at the expense of White Tuck Nahas and Richo
He's becoming cancerous and must be treated effectively

I think if Newman is given another year that will be it for me. I ll still buy a membership and watch the game on the weekend, but my carefactor will be gone. no thinking about Richmond, no reading about thrm no talking about them during the weeketc.

If Newman was a true leader he'd step aside for the good of the club. Unfortunately the playing group are too selfish and lacking proper culture. Look at Jackson this season, clearly injured, couldn't run all week, but plays and then further injures himself. The players should be putting the playing group and the club first not themselves. Do the senior players think they run the club?
It's unfortunate that Newman's career is going down this path, but it just shows that his time as captain did not create a progressive and accountable environment at the club

Speak for yourself... I don't want Ruthless, I want Professional...
Ruthless doesn't built loyalty or culture or performance....
MNC are ruthless and lets ask the Ford and Holden workers what ruthless looks like..

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
Have liked & respected what Chris has done for the club. Stood up to led at a time when no-one else could.
Really hope he realises how he is tarnishing his legacy and reputation by the decisions he is making i.e.
- playing in a final last year when clearly not right. It hurt his team & potentially cost us a win. selfish.
- playing on this year when he was in obvious decline.
- not (as yet) pulling the pin this season, even though finals are an impossibility. now only taking a young footballers spot in a role that is perfect for development. selfish.
If he plays on again next season he will be looked back on my a good percentage of fans in a very negative light. Announce his retirement now & play one send-off and all will largely be forgiven. Hopefully he considers that and some confidants point this out.
And yes leysy realises a lot of the above decisions should also be made by the club. They are weak for not doing so, however it's Chris reputation and what is right for the club that he needs to think about.

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
You forgot that he's fuelling the fire by saying that he feels right and wants to go on every time anyone asks him. I can guarantee that if we do have the balls to actually delist him he'll put himself in the draft to try and get another go round somewhere else. We'll probably rookie list him.Leysy Days said:

Totally agree, and you can add King too. Your post reminds me of previous ones made on here years ago for similar situations with past players. Selfish refusal to retire and let kids come through as other clubs have done. I just see our club as a holiday resort.

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
Time for a tap on the shoulder and a farewell game. If the club had to gift him anything, make it a small time coaching role next year that tries to improve kicking skills. I distinctly remember max hudgeton not getting this much charity!

Re: Chris Newman (Merged)
Personally I think it is a great shame, Chris has been a fantastic servant of the club and I would love to see him go out on his own terms rather than be shown the door. He was wavering a bit last year on whether he would go on, I hope he makes the call to retire.
