I love this idea. Don't think he's done anything wrong anywhere else on the ground but I think he can have a huge impact playing out his career as a HFF or FP.

I thought he was pretty good vs Brisbane. Got to the dangerous places. Provided excellent link ups, and won or drew some one-on-one contests that let us set up camp in the forward half.
Wasn't the worst player vs Bulldogs, and I saw him completely outpace Honeychurch in a chase for a loose ball in the pocket where I was sitting.
Very lucky to be selected after his game vs Carlton.

Was good on the weekend but personally I think it is time for him to don the vest.
He goes missing for large portions of the game but can play anywhere making him the perfect sub, especially once the game has slowed down a bit.
Look at the impact Gia had for the dogs playing as a sub and coach of sorts.

Vfl captain if we are realistic in moving ahead and being a serious football club ,let alone a finals contender.
Three seasons tooooooooooooooo many,but that's my opinion

Was good against crap opposition in a 79 point win (downhill skier?). 1 okay game and 2 horrid ones, still not up to it, but he keeps he place next week atleast.

2 goals and 18 touches against the Lions so he won't be dropped unless injured.
Reckon the idea of him as a sub is a decent one. Experienced player and has a bit of nous that could be handy when in a tight game and perhaps give us that extra edge by stealing a goal or 2.

Completely disagree, if he retires at end of this year he would be going out in form. Currently on track for another 1 year extension.
I love Newy but i can't see him keeping his spot at this rate, it would be better to get games into Lennon or one of the other new recruits, he does do some really good things at times but unless he can lift his out put he should probably be replaced.
Edit: I didn't see his stats from the weekend, they are pretty good, if he does that every week he should stay......

Not sure Chris is a sub. More of a solid (slow Burn) than a spark ??
think you're spot on there. a good observation.

Not time to be a gia sub
First let me say I love this bloke, carried the can in a time when we were worse than shit and did it with no fuss.
Now let's talk what is best for Richmond post Newmans Career. His upside is what now?
Playing him forward to try hide him somewhere is not the answer. If he is too slow down back then he is too slow up forward.
Sorry but service is appreciated and the future of Richmond doesn't include Chris anymore.

I have a thing for defending our older players like Newy, Foley etc. As long as he performs he stays in the 22.

If he plays like he did against Brisbane and the Bullies when we play the top tier teams he deserves a spot in the best 22

Love him.
All the haters need to understand he is best 22 - and until someone shows enough form on the training track or in the two's it will stay that way.
