Chris Newman - Needs a big 2005

[pumped]

Newy has just joined the Hawks for 2016 as a Development Coach.

Well done grandad :fing32

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Looks very strange seeing him wearing another clubs apparel.

But a good move for him nevertheless.

Dimma reference for sure.

 

[Jetboy]

There goes any chance of beating the Hawks next year.....

But he is a dud?!

Added no value to the RFC in his last few years.

What would HFC know about choosing decent coaches?!

 

[Dev Tiger]

Well done Chris. A great chance to learn from the best in the business.

 

[evo]

geeze, I was too scared to open the thread for fear that it had been reported he's going to play again next year!

 

[artball]

this is a good thing for him - and maybe us in the long run

Agreed there. There are worse places to do a coaching apprenticeship than Hawthorn.

 

[Ruthless Tigers ?]

A great player for Richmond

A great clubman who bled yellow and black

A great leader

A great loss for our club

Good luck Chris

Agree, he had to experience life outside RFC. 2 years in a dev role, move into assistant role for 3-5 years and he will be ready to have a crack at a senior role. I reckon he should also look at a TAC Cup or VFL coaching role. Run his own team, develop his own thoughts and methodologies.

My thoughts exactly.

Should have joined them 2 years ago as coach. ;D

Seriously well done to him. Has coaching aspirations.

 

[St Kevin]

Tremendous opportunity for Newy. Given how many Clarko acolytes have become senior coaches, perfect club for him to go to in order to experience footy life beyond PR.

 

[loto]

Says a lot for the great character of Chris Newman, good luck to him. Hoping he makes a good fist of coaching

 

[Baloo]

Hope he serves a well rounded apprenticeship around the clubs and makes his eventual way back to Punt Road

 

[year of the tiger]

well done Newy - great breading ground for senior coaches is the hawkies.

reckon Hodge had some influence in getting him there

 

[leon]

Yes, congratulations, Chris, a commendable appointment to complement a dedicated, brave career with the Tigers. Spend a couple of years there learning all you can, maybe do some VFL coaching. Then back to us with all you've learnt. Lets hope you come back to a premiership-winning club by then, so you can be part of OUR three-peat!

 

[Tigers of Old]

Now he's on their payroll, Newie will no doubt be imparting some knowledge of how we've mangaged to beat them 3 times out of the past 4 seasons..

 

[Tames]

Well done Newy.

Has copped plenty over the last couple of years as a player. Wish him well at the Hawks.
