No evidence but I wonder if he's a bit disgruntled that Dimma preferred others in the middle and he's again at HB?
Just seems down on intensity by 10%.May lose his place during the year if he keeps going at this rate.

Down on intensity.. Please tell me that is sarcasm. When has he ever played with intencity?? Worst captain by a mile and the quicker he is stripped of it the better we will be.

Newman and Deledio are the most overrated players in the league.

On form, Newman should of been with Green in the stands!

So frustrating watching him play, like Barnzy said lots of stop start play and then lazy kicks off 1 step etc. Not good enough for any player let alone for a so called captain.

Passenger.

I dont care about Brad Green. Not captain and at least he was shown the door.

What can you say about our inspiring captain. Should be rename to Captain Casual.

Don't think he's that type of person to crack the *smile* about the position he is played in - seems to me that he would be prepared to play any role if it means the poor bugger can see some finals action.

When was the last time a captain was dropped?

Who is a dud?
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

Newy is a legend!
Albeit it one a little down on form.
He will be back, so get off his back.
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

Captain Nemo is certanly struggling. His once-fine boot has gone missing, and he doesn't have much else in the arsenal.
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

I personally think the whole team is down on form, probably due to the fact we Kanned them in the preseason and NAB cup, I fell that in a few weeks they newy, vickery jack martin batchlor houli will bounce back.
happens to every team, so its good we got the first win in, as geelong west coast port are as equally tough games as the first three, trust me on this one.

This is what I am hoping happened.
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

Newie's heart doesn't seem to be in it, both he and Vickery play like they can't be bothered. Wonder what's going on?
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

Would be sorely tempted to have him as the sub next week

At this point, Cotch surely steps up/in to the captaincy next year
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

Cotchin should have been captain this year. He handled it very well when Newman was out with injury last year.
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

What surprises me the most is that people here are saying Newman is 'down on form.' I think it's more that you're finally starting to wake up to him. He has pretty much played the same way for 180 odd games of football
 
Re: Chris Newman (Merged)

Newy, yeah.. I can't comment on his captaincy as don't know what happens behind close doors, but feel is trying to show poise on the field and it ain't coming off. (Should forget it trying to do this)

Soft in his kicking style appears to lack aggression in the execution and doesn't hit his targets. I'm sure he will take a step back & will anaylse his performance. he probably knows were he's at. Big test this with Geelong. IMO needs that grunt back and we probably expect a more polish hard at it performance this week. Be faster in his excution of disposal to others. Maybe I would throw him on the half forward line at times.
