He is currently at Hawthorn

 He is their back line coach

At Hawthorn, Chris Newman has been in charge of the backline in 2021 but doesn’t have a contract for next year. Richmond is keeping a close eye on him, though Sam Mitchell would be keen to keep Newman at the Hawks. The two have forged a close bond in recent seasons.
