Has Newman mentioned where he wants to be?

Sad to say this 1986, but I don't think his opinion means much to WCE atm. Having an assault charge hanging over your head, and having the coach cream you in a time trial doesn't leave him a leg to stand on, re: preferred playing destination.

This entire situation has been brought on by one persons lack of responsibility - Murray Newman. He has given the WC hierachy plenty of ammo to argue that the best place for him is at EP Eagles. Newman sowed the seeds, now he has to reap the rewards. Just sucks that it's Swans and the supporters that really lose if it does eventuate.

I think mentioned player is simply like the meat in the sandwich. As the saying goes.

come end of the day hachii who cares if SDFC and their fans lose.....the main thing on the clubs and fans agenda should be Murray Newmans welfare.....if WCE/EP feel they need to take greater ownership of the kids welfare to improve his on/off field attitude, than so be it...I have no doubts you and other SD fans only want what's best for young Newman....obviously having an AFL ego around a WAFL club isn't helping keep the kid under check....what ever works for kid should be the highest priority....sad to feel you lose out mate.....life sucks sometimes I guess.

Life really does suck at times, I agree Freeze bro. Especially when I realise that you have a facinating love/hate thing going on with Swans.

Anyway, I digress, back to the topic. With regards to the Sonny Walters incident from last year, it seems that Swans were more than capable of helping turn Walters' season, if not his career around. Why not let the same apply to Newman is the question, Freeze.

Correct hachii & Greg Harding coached both boys in the Swans Colts ..its funny how both boys "troubles" started while under the banner of the AFL system!!
But apparently they are better equipped at helping these guys get back on track!!

I was discussing the topic fella....you mentioned how unfortunate it is for SDFC and its fans that Newman might be leaving SD, I merely responded that your concerns and the clubs mean f-all in the grand scheme of things, especially when you and SDFC don't pay the kids wages....WCE do and they feel perhaps being at EP may be better for him...who knows.....Walters is paid by Freo and they thought different....but Walters is a bit older than Newman, so perhaps that was behind their thinking....why are you guys dramatising it all up?

As for my SD love /hate thing?...You will see that I mainly post on the EF site, SD site , Perth site and SF site....because that is where all the good banter is...for me.......big deal!...get over it...just as I'm sure Newman will get over it playing for EP this year v SD.....

Why doesnt the eagles just F**K off and leave our kids alone they came through our system not there's so maybe they need to back off.

Sad to say it doesn't work like that MG. Now Newman is in the national system so to speak, Swans may not be able to retain him.

hachii and you wonder why I have a SD fixation?...that post from Master G is nothing short of ridiculous!...can see his passion, but nothing else!!

funny how you are happy to take the draft fee Master G, play Newman for free, yet you regard him as yours? That's like you buying me a brand new car, paying all the insurance, petrol and running costs...AND I tell you to piss off when you want to drive it!!....you sound like my 18 yr old son

In all honesty who does Newman want to play for?.....WCE in the AFL or SDFC in the WAFL?...if it's the former than he will do what he is told then...if it's the latter then Newman should just retire from the AFL and solely play WAFL then..
