Finding Newmo

With all due respect, are we sure that Raines will be able to negate a small forward of the likes of Milne etc?
It has only been a preseason of a couple of games and we're assuming he's the second coming of christ or something.

General, we have no one to stop players like Milne - not even Newman, Chaffey and co. Milne, Matera and players of their ilk regularly carve us up.
 
Tucky and coggers were fantastic last year, but were over used. This year i hope the wings, centre, rover and ruck rover positions are rotated off the bench between Cogs, Tucky, Newman, Johnno, jackson, Hyde, Rodan, Deledio White, Tambo, Krak'r and Foley. :clap
 
Our downfall in last year's second half was the lack of speed in the back line. Both Raines & Hartigan will provide this missing essence.

Newman will be a key running, stopper, link player.

Sad but true Jb.
Let's hope Rainesy can be the one to stop them in 06. If not , then we need Harts to 'stand-up' because the opposition small forwards kill us on a regular basis.
Nothing worse than seeing us get carved up by a rat like Swapper Milne. :vomit

Even though he's not the most defensive player, I reckon Lids could stop that little rat. Lids would be too strong, quick and clever, and also totally unexpected to fill this role. Might be worth a stab.
