GOAT Newnes - B&F voting

Post: # 1823917Post saintspremiers »

I had a peak at the Top 10 and GOAT didn’t make the cut, even though he played 20 games.

That’s quite an achievement to boast about at his new club next season!

Well done GOAT!!!

I guess you’ll start a thread about Jack Sinclair as well. Played 2 games more than Newnes.

Pretty poor by both of them given lots of players earn votes each game.

What’s your problem??

You’re just starting a thread to whack a guy over something trivial.

To put it in context he played equal 8th to 10th number of games, and he might have finished 11th. Big Deal.

Norm Smith medalist Luke Shuey didn’t finish top ten in Eagles B&F last year.

Apparently only ten players can scrape in 😉

I actually rate Newnes and like him tbh.

Sometimes I get pissed off at Gresh, lots of figjam and sometimes tries to do too much, but don't know if others see it that way. Meh.

Gresham is frustrating at times based on his decision making. For instance his preference to kick across the body when within the middle 60 degrees in front of goal. He has missed many goals this year because of this. Yes, he does kick goals but many are given to him out back from the defenders. It just takes coach to pull him in on this lack of discipline to increase the teams conversion rate.

Newnes is one of those players who is extremely exuberant when running forward towards goal. He doesn't match that effort for team defence. Hes not alone and they all need sorting out for correction or removal from the team. Thos been there for several years now need to understand this isn't acceptable. He kicks well at times but gets a lot of his possessions 2 players away from contest, that suites him but he doesn't provide the players getting free from contests any protection. This often means we cough up the ball because were are rushed. A little time spent on protection rather than just seeking individual opportunity would help the team more by providing time for more correct disposal. I hate opportunity if it costs team defence and it has many times this year. Senior players should now no better or no be there at all.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
