Bad luck for Newy, he will be sorely missed.

Welcome to OER britt_luvs_brett! :)
Poor Newy :'( :'( :'(
They showed it on the scoreboard about 10 times :-\ and you knew immediately from the bend in the leg he'd broken both bones right through like Browny did. Unlike Browny's steely face though Newy didn't hide the amount of pain his was in :'(.
All the best to Newy in his recovery. Hopefully Browny coming back and playing like he did today can provide a bit of hope for Newy.
And to the Collingwood moron who yelled out "get up you c-head" - you freaking piece of slime >:(.

Another nasty break for Tigers

Richmond's gutsy win over Collingwood came at a high cost with the Tigers once again forced to deal with the loss of player to a sickening leg fracture - this time the unfortunate victim is Chris Newman.
The Tiger defender took a swing at a loose ball six minutes into the second term, but connected with Leon Davis' leg and was left lying on the ground in agony in scenes horribly reminiscent of Nathan Brown's injury last season.
"It's shattering - we're not the only side in the competition that's had some massive losses - but I reckon we've had our fair share," Terry Wallace said after the match.
"I haven't had a look at it - there's no difference between Newman and Brown - to me they're your kids and they go out and work hard for you every time and when they go down it leaves a (terrible) gut feeling.
"The boys in the box were talking about it and I told them to shut up and that we just had to get on with what we could deal with and what we could concentrate on - unfortunately we couldn't do anything about that. I still haven't seen Brownie's and I'm not in a hurry to see Newie's either."
After blitzing the Magpies in the first half, Wallace said he made sure that his players understood the magnitude of Newman's sacrifice.
"When I went back out onto the ground I mentioned to the guys that I thought they'd played a magnificent hour and to let their guards down when one of our players had sacrificed what Chris had sacrificed for the cause would be just a real shame," he said.
"We just had to keep our noses to the grindstone and keep working at it - I think they were going to do that anyway, but I just wanted to make sure that they had an understanding that we'd lost one of our best foot soldiers."
Wallace was asked if he or any of his players would be visiting their fallen comrade after the match.
"Normally to a man we would, but apparently he's having his operation almost as we speak," he said.
"Therefore we'll leave him and go up there as a group tomorrow and visit him - otherwise we would've been jumping straight in the car this evening."

Whose the orthopaedic surgeon? I heard just before that the orthapaedic surgeon regarded as top notch (one of the best in Australia) is a Richmond supporter- is that true and is it the same guy who did Browny as well?

Newman's sickening break shatters the Tigers
Michael Gleeson
The Age
July 3, 2006
Wallace and the Richmond players planned to visit Newman in hospital tomorrow.
Newman's leg was fractured when he and Davis attacked a loose ball at right angles and kicked to soccer the ball off the ground.
Newman's shin struck Davis's thigh, fracturing his tibia and fibula. He was in excruciating pain on the ground and was given morphine in the rooms by the club doctor.
He was operated on last night, and Richmond players will visit him as a group today.
Brown said he would help his close mate through his next 12 months of rehabilitation, and encouraged him not to try to hurry back.
"When I was out there it made me feel a bit sick. I know what sort of pain it causes and what rehab and mental demons Chris has to go through.
"He is such a hard-at-it player and people are complaining that AFL players are asking too much at the moment. When you go through something like that we earn every cent that we get.
"I watched it the first time and they replayed it a few times, and I decided not to watch it after that. Newy is one of my great mates … it's devastating. It's hard to describe the feeling or what he is going to be going through, but I am there to support him and help him every step of the way."

Brown said he would work closely with his close friend through his rehabilitation.
``I can just tell him what I've been through and give him a timeline of what happened to me ... I can tell him what worked for me and what didnt' work for me,'' Brown said. ``At the end of the day, it's an individual thing. He's mentally strong enough to come back and he's a young man so I'm sure he'll be back.''
Asked if he had any advice for Newman, Brown said he would simply tell him to remain patient.
``Everyone told me to take my time and I didn't. It probably cost me six weeks,'' Brown said.

Round 13 medical room
03 July 2006 Herald-Sun
Dr Peter Larkins
Check out what the Doc says about the latest injuries to come out of Round 13.
CHRIS NEWMAN
DIAGNOSIS
LEG: Newman was injured in a sickening collision with Magpie Leon Davis early in the second quarter of yesterday's match at the MCG. Both players had heavy contact to their leg region but Newman came off second best and was taken from the ground on the medicart. Examination and subsequent X-rays revealed a double fracture of the lower left leg and he was admitted to the Mercy Private Hospital.
DOC SAYS...
Newman underwent surgery last night to insert a rod into his main shin bone (tibia) and will be sidelined for the remainder of 2006. This is an eerily similar injury to teammate Nathan Brown and Newman's recovery would be expected to take in the vicinity of 10-12 months.

Poor guy - I really felt for him, seeing him with his hands over his face. He will be sorely missed on the footy field.
-
If there is a positive in this (and I appreciate it is probably a weird thing to suggest a positive), it is the fact that the Club has been through it already with Browny. So they should know what to do rehab wise and getting him back. I am not saying they made mistakes with Brown just that 2nd time round they'll certainly know what to expect e.g the soreness around the muscle etc
-
He shouldnt play before July next year. Just automatic 12 months. Should be compulsory.
-
SEN had Cogs on around 12.30pm after he had just visited Newy for 45 minutes and gave the latest update on Newy's progress. Fevola had also visited Newy and the rest of the Tiges will arrive as a group this arvo. The SEN reporter said Newy is a tough bugger and is in good spirits considering what has happened.
Like Browny the break was halfway up he's had a rod inserted into the tibia but apparently the break was alot cleaner than Browny's (which is some positive news). Newman was able to have his operation virtually straight away because the surgeon (Hayden Morris) was at the game and could organise things at the Mercy hospital quickly. Browny had to wait till 7am the next morning because he did his in a night game.
I'm guessing the break was cleaner because the leg was bent sideways as opposed to Browny's which was bent backwards into the calf muscle.
-

Agree Ramps. Browny injured his leg in round 10 and has only just discovered his old form again in round 13 this year. We may not see Newy back until late July 2007 so basically next year is a write off too for him :(.

Meanwhile, Richmond coach Terry Wallace has berated fans who heckled the injured Chris Newman during yesterday's win over Collingwood.
As Newman left the ground with a broken leg, spectators called him weak and Wallace said the behaviour was disappointing.
" don't mind when you're running down to cop a bit and get it as you do - that's all part and parcel of the game," he said.
"But when you know that someone's seriously injured like that ... I think that's pretty poor form."
Newman had a rod inserted into his leg this afternoon and could be out of the game for up to a year.

Wallace slams Pie fans
04 July 2006 Herald-Sun
Rebecca Williams
RICHMOND coach Terry Wallace delivered a broadside at Collingwood supporters yesterday as Tigers midfielder Chris Newman began his recovery from an horrific broken leg.
An angry Wallace claimed Newman was heckled by Magpies supporters as he was taken from the field on a stretcher after breaking his left leg in a sickening collision with Leon Davis.
Newman had surgery to insert a rod in his tibia and have his fractured fibula realigned on Sunday night.
Wallace and Richmond players yesterday visited Newman at the Mercy Hospital, with the 24-year-old reported to be in good spirits.
But the same could not be said for Wallace, who hit out at the behaviour of Pies fans.
``People might call me soft or weak like some of the Collingwood supporters called Chris yesterday, which was pretty disappointing on his way off,'' Wallace said.
``They suggested that he was fairly weak for his actions and I thought that was pretty disappointing.
``When you know that someone is seriously injured like that, for his mother and himself to be very aware of that, I think that's pretty poor form.''
Newman's injury has been compared with that of fellow Tiger Nathan Brown, who broke the same bones in his left leg in a similarly gruesome incident in Round 10 last year.
Brown also had a metal rod inserted in his leg, but Wallace said Newman's breaks were cleaner.
Wallace expected Brown, who is starting to recapture his best form after missing games this season through soreness in his leg, to play a key role in Newman's rehabilitation.
``Browny will be able to let him know all of the signs of what's normal, what's expected and the trials and tribulations of it,'' Wallace said.
``We really found it difficult with Browny's. We went to Europe to find out about the soccer player, (Frenchman Djibril) Cisse, who had done a similar injury.
``We went across there to find out how his rehabilitation went, so we had to search far and wide.
``But this time around we don't have to go quite as far, just in our own back yard. Browny will be a big help in that way.''
One of Newman's visitors yesterday was teammate and housemate Brent Hartigan, who broke his right foot playing for Coburg in the VFL on Saturday.
Hartigan, who is expected to miss at least six weeks, was considered a strong chance for a senior call-up this week.
``The interesting sideline to the story is that (Newman's) likely replacement this week would have been Brent Hartigan and they live together in the same house,'' Tigers football director Greg Miller said.
Newman is expected to spend the next few days recovering in hospital.
Wallace said he remained hopeful Newman would be able to return at the start of next season.
``The biggest frustration that we've got with (Mark) Coughlan and Newman, is not only is it impacting this year, but it has the ability to impact next year,'' he said.
Wallace said he was unsure if spearhead Matthew Richardson would be fit to play in Saturday night's clash with Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
Richardson, who had pins removed from his fractured wrist last week, failed a fitness test last Friday.

Gee that's something to be really proud of I suppose :wallywink ::)

On the RFC website, Greg Hickey our club doctor reckons Newy could be back for round 1 next year as the fracture was a lot cleaner being straight across the tibia (as well as fibula) so the two pieces just slotted together. Browny's on the other hand was more complicated.

Poor Newy :(
But in a way atleast we know what to expect, I mean with Browny doing the same and all.
I hated how they kept showing the replay though, I knew what was coming but everytime I saw it, I flinched :(
I wish Chris and his family, and the Tiges, all the best.
The Tiger Army is behind you mate!

Geezus.. l just clicked on that link to the eddiewood forum and read a few postings about this whole magpie supporters having ago at newman issue.
I have to admit if it was buckley that was the one that had his leg busted i and a few other tiger fans might have said something similar too but any other player i would have respectfully clapped them off...

Collingwood supporters need to be reminded that it could have easily been Leon Davis with the broken leg instead of Newy

Wallace counts injury toll

Sportal for afl.com.au
Richmond coach Terry Wallace estimates that just over half-way through the season, injuries have cost the Tigers more game time than for the whole of 2005.
Speaking at his weekly media conference on Tuesday, Wallace, who has kept a running sheet of player injuries, said the club had lost 100 games through injuries in 2006.
"I suppose injuries have been key on everyone's minds, and in recent weeks there's been a lot of players go down from all sides and obviously in our position, we lost Chris Newman and Brent Hartigan," he said.
"We just did a couple of numbers on our injuries. We're up around 100 games lost last year to injury. A lot of those injuries were breaks.

We've had more than our fair share of broken bones in the past 2 years - Browny and Newy with a snapped leg, Hyde's skull, Roach's jaw, Joel and Moore with depressed cheekbones and Harts foot. Didn't Sarge have a busted ankle?! Sheesh! :help :P.

Moi, can you give us who won't be in front of a tv then a run down on what he says. :cheers
-
Felt it straight away and looked at his leg and saw in a bad way - went into shock after that.
Nathan has had a few chats to him = said it was a long road but just main advice to be patient and let it heal
Think it was only a couple of maggots - he has no issue - disappointed for his mum more than anything
Re ambulances - the law is that they have to ahve another ambulance on standby waiting, so he had to sit there and wait it out.
Fingers crossed everythng goes well - with no set backs, should be running Nov/December
-
Cheers for that Moi :cheers. If he's up and running by December then 2007 might not be all lost for him.

Tiger tells of waiting for ambulance
Michael Gleeson
The Age
July 6, 2006
INJURED Richmond midfielder Chris Newman has complained that he had to wait 15 minutes in the Tigers' changing rooms before an ambulance came to take him to hospital after he broke his leg at the MCG last weekend.
Newman was given morphine by the club doctors to treat his pain but was unable to leave for hospital until a second ambulance arrived to replace the one he would be transferred in.
"The law is they have to have another ambulance on standby waiting so I just had to sit there and grit my teeth and sort of wait it out," Newman said on Channel Nine.
The young player has been consoled by teammate Nathan Brown, who had an almost identical break to his leg last year. Brown has advised him not to rush his rehabilitation — a process that, without setbacks, Newman hopes will have him running before Christmas and playing again by round one next year.
Newman knew immediately after the sickening clash with Magpies forward Leon Davis that he had seriously injured his leg.
"I felt it straight away then obviously looked down at my leg and saw that it was in a bad way and I think I went into a bit of shock after that," he said.
Tigers coach Terry Wallace has condemned the callousness of some Collingwood fans in jeering the player as he was taken from the ground.
"I think it was only a couple of people, so I have got no issue. I was just a little bit disappointed for my mum, more than anything," Newman said of the fans.

Yep, blink and you would've missed it :P. Newy seemed in a good spirits though given he's just had rod put in to re-straighten his leg.
