Ben Newton

What do you want? Jones, Vince, Viney, Tyson out of the centre square and Newton playing in his rightful position? He did ok in there and it was the right move after our first choice guys were getting smashed to give him a run, but I'd probably rather stick to our best mids. He should get 2 more weeks and chances in the centres square rotation. But to make a career for himself I think he'll need to show he can impact games from half forward and the wing as well.

From his first training session I said he wasn't fit enough when he was battling away with Riley at the back of the group. Saty assured me he was taking it easy on his first day but come game day he just doesn't seem to run like an AFL player.

Presumably he'll be out of contract after next season so he'll need a big preseason.

I see him as handy depth, better than the Bail and Jones' of the world for sure, but when we have a young team without a big fitness base I get why they picked the guys who can actually cover ground at speed.

Your mistake was listening to Saty..

Sam Mitchell, Burgoyne aren't fast players

Look I'm not saying he is as classy as those players but he does show so class and is a goal kicker. But I accept he has flaws there is no doubt

Don't compare, UH, please....my poor heart couldn't take it.

According to Carey, Mitchell wouldn't get a game in any other side besides Hawthorn.

I had hope for Newton but he's been underwhelming. Future is cloudy.

Fair call
