Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says Chris Newman still the man ... for now

RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick says he's in no hurry to hand Trent Cotchin the captaincy, insisting "at this stage" Chris Newman will remain in charge next season.
Tigers' legend Matthew Richardson declared Cotchin will be Richmond's next leader, but Hardwick said he was in no rush to anoint a successor to Newman.
"At this stage he (Newman) is (captain next year)," Hardwick said.
"He's been outstanding.
"There's no rush on the captaincy, no rush at all ... that's something we'll work our way through in due course. Chris has been outstanding in that role.
"Captains sort of know when their time's come to pass over the baton so to speak, but that'll be something we'll work through over the course of the next 12-24 months."
Hardwick ruled out making a play for Adelaide forward Kurt Tippett, but the Tigers are still interested in out-of-contract Magpie Travis Cloke.
"We still firmly believe he'll be at Collingwood (next season). If it falls down, we'll work our way through that," he said.

?? who are you talking to?? No one in this thread (Apart from yourself) has ever said Newman isn't up to it?
Where are you getting your info from??
-
who said newman is the man?
please explain? :huh
-
Go read the Newman thread, where did I say Newan wasn't up to it?? Just said Cotchin should be Captain..
-
Newman can wear the #17 for as long as he wants. IMO Cotchin is the on field leader/captain that inspires our team along with Deledio.
They can put it off for another season in an 'official' sense, but for mine we know who leads the way by example on game day.

NEWMAN WONT BE IN OUR BEST 22 NEXT YR SO HOW CAN HE BE CAPTAIN

I agree with you, if the rate of his decline continues. Champions of the game can go on into their 30's for years without getting caught out. Unfortunately for Newy, he isn't a Champion, just a good average footballer and time is catching up on him very quickly.
As others have said, may do him some good to pass it on sooner rather than later. :clapping

Read between the lines.

Id say fair chance Newy will hand it over. He seems like a descent enough guy to know when his times up and that is now.
The Ritchie Vandenberg experiment is over

Does sound like Dimma was stating they won't make him hand it over, and he'll know when to. :rollin

Yep, that's how I read it too.

Last time someone asked to do that my 7 yo nephew held up 3 fingers :scream

There is no doubt about Cotchin is a natural leader. It is only a matter of time. Agree that Chris is a good enough bloke to know when his time is up

HARDWICK HAS GOT IT WRONG
WE NEED TO PROGRESS FROM THE PAST AND MOVE INTO THE FUTURE
IMO SADLY NEWMAN HAS EXCEEDED HIS USE BY DATE
THE TIGER NEEDS LEADERSHIP AND COTCHIN REEKS OF IT
CHRIS CAN CAPTAIN COBURG IN 2013

You're getting confused with the Heinz product you consumed last night
Get out of bed and air off your sheets
The wind should calm down :lol
-
Shaw & Dermot were right about Newman - foot skills kept Tigers in the game in 1st half - then was tagged. Has been tagged consistently - but again coaching staff have no idea how to get him free.
Move Newman forward or play him a the sub next year
-
I'm. It sure Chris has anything to offer anymore
IMO he can't break tags because he lacks speed
He's leadership skills infield are not there anymore since players have nothing to look up to
Whereas cotchin is a perfect role model
With cotchin skipper and on the ground we would of won some of those closer games
I reckon cotchin could captain-coach he's that professional
Reminds me of Ron Dale Barassi he's that damn good our Cotchin
Seen nothing like him at Punt Rd
