JLT Match 3 Sydney Swans v St Kilda @ Lavington Sports Ground

[Ludwig]

I don't want another stand and kick backline player in our snr team like a Newman ......I want another "run and carry player" or at a minimum a "give and go player" to be able to rally with what GWS and the Bulldogs brought to the table last year

A Malceski or a Kennelly would be suffice

If I had to pick a Swans player that Newman most reminds me of it would be Malceski. Both are strong left footers that have good pace and are willing to take on the game.

Interesting comments by Longmire in support of the 3rd man up ban in the ruck contest (on Swans site). I hadn't realised before that when Tippett's jaw was broken in the QF it was by the third man coming in.

We'll have a clearer idea if some of those named take the field tomorrow for the NEAFL practice game.

Shaw seemed to suggest that Laidler and Sinclair would play NEAFL this weekend.

Ludwig I disagree

My argument is all about backline roation that can be more flexible in the transitions from our back 50 then we were in 2016

Ie developing snr players that can achieve this in 2017

I could never imagine Newman or a player of his same capabilities running out off the HB line in snr AFL football with speed , breaking into open space and setting up his forwards directly

He rarely plays this style of football in ressies

He has awesome stand and kick ability

He has awesome pin point kicking ability

He plays from deep in the defensive 50 when setting up play

Mal loved being beyond the 50 and moving thru the middle to set up the forwards

Newman doesn't give and go much at all which is the player I want inthe snr team

Newmsn doesn't rap around on the outside or inside as an over lapping player like a Wilson or Williams from GWS bursting thru with spiders on his back .......he is pedestrian in comparison

Newman doesn't tear away from small fast forwards

I took it to mean players who didn't play JLT first week but came in for week2

I think that Zak Jones has the potential to be a run and carry player if he can string some injury free games together.

I'm with MattW - I think he's saying that Laidler and Sinclair will play for the NEAFL side.

AG, I think you are comparing Malceski at his best to Newman as you see him in pre-season matches. Newman is a big time ball winner as well as a run and carry player in the reserves. He was our best regular player in the NEAFL last year. The question is whether he can convert it to senior level football. That, of course, is yet to be seen. Players like Lloyd and Hewett have been able to convert their good reserves form to senior football. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes time to develop.

If Newman does play senior footy, he's likely to take a back seat to the more senior players around him until he gets used to the pace of the game at the higher level. So we are likely to see a more subdued Newman at senior level than we do at reserves level. I feel he showed enough consistent high quality football last year to make the transition.

IF laids and Sinclair drop out geese it's still challenging to work out who the third player will be ??

Hayward, Newman, Cameron or Fox ?

I hope they rest Tippett, he's certainly doesn't have to play for his spot in the seniors

[Auntie.Gerald]

So Sinclair, Newman and laidler dropped for the last JLT game

Jy Simpkin again showing little bursts of freakish talent tonight for North. I hope Florent shows some more good signs on Sunday night! We need to add some youthful zip to our side early on with our current injury list!

Horse back in the chair tomorrow. The professionalism at our club just shines through again and again when you read articles like this.

Some Swans coaches and support staff on the flight to Albury. Shaw, Taubert amongst them

[Auntie.Gerald]
