Audio of Newy on 3aw last night
http://media.mytalk.com.au/3AW/AUDIO/130110_Sports_Today_Replay.mp3* Nah he hasn't tattooed over summer. Matty White likes that tatts and has flames around his ankles. Tambo has new tatts of his kids and mum.
* Exciting year coming up. Obviously at this time of year all the boys are excited. Everyone practising to put all the things we're implementing into practice on the MCG in round 1.
* Shaw said it's hard for a senior player like Newy when the club is obviously in a rebuilding stage again under Hardwick and he went through all the names gone and the loss of experience it brings. Newy said it's going to be a process but you never know. The boys really believe in the gameplan we're putting together over summer. Been more emphasis on our defensive aspects on the field. Newy believes we have enough senior players to push through that and it's a real exciting year coming up.
* Without Richo it's about finding different avenues to goal. Believes we have the manpower up forward to kick enough goals along with the structure we have now up forward. The game itself ebbs and flows so he doesn't think it'll be too defensive next year and some good scores will be put on the board.
* A lot of people come up and ask him if he's going to play midfield this year. He said he's more a second stringer. Believes the backline is his place and he plays his best footy there but if the coach says go into the midfield or up forward he'll happily do it.
* Astbury - swimming in a pool with his sister and a tree fell on him. He saw it falling and protected his sister but ended up with a corky to his leg.
