I find it incredible that posters are prepared to hoot and jeer at Newton, without seeing what he has been doing at Norwood. Dunn has been mentioned often enough. What about Jetta? At other clubs there are many who were pretty useless in their first 5 years at AFL level.
If Newton has bulked up and is kicking 50 plus goals per season at CHF, and if he was mad enough to accept a rookie, or late draft, pick, why not? As Podziadly has shown, 27 is hardly too old.
A really disturbing aspect of our list is the complete absence of any key position players other than those who are playing. He would have been bloody handy this year
