Apparently Newman from Swan Districts left todays game against Claremont at quarter time? He walked up the race at quarter time, into the rooms, grabbed his bag and departed from the ground. Presumably went home. I thought Swans had turned the corner after the big win last week and playing very well in todays game. There would obviously need to be a good reason why he's done that!? Not a very good course of action considering the importance of todays match. Obviously Swan Districts would be upset. I can't recall a similar occurrence happening before. That meant Swans would have been a man down on the bench.
It's unbelievable! I've not heard of a similar occurrence happening before. If he was injured, surely he wouldn't have walked out?
Swan Districts were switched on today and their fans would be very happy with the final score line.

has happened before.bruce mcknight was pulled off the ground just before three quarter time about 20 years ago with east perth 8 goals ahead.east perth did not score a goal in the last quarter and the sharks went on to win by 3 ponts.mcknight went to soufs and played a bit of footy but didn't set the world on fire.as for murray if he has walked thank goodness the eagles didn't force him to play with us as we are already blamed for enough stuff.i thought he was already close to the delisting list but with this stunt he may replace sampi as the biggest waste of talent.

Chaddy, he ain't that big a talent. Hope his reason for today's behaviour warrants his actions otherwise he's finished at both afl & wafl level. Mighty effort by the other 21 fellas who were down to 20 after Howard left the ground.
