Newman: Back to our best
Kendall Fulton
SEN
9.53AM  24-7-2014


The Tigers take on West Coast at Patersons Stadium this Friday night with renewed confidence.

After a poor start to the season and losing four straight games in June, Richmond have bounced back with three consecutive wins and look to have finally recaptured their 2013 form.

The boys from Punt Rd have pumped out some big stats over the past four weeks. They’re the number one for possessions and stepped up in every category that's got to do with retention of the ball.

Chris Newman spoke on SEN this morning and was asked if they've made a change or tweak to their game plan.

"That was our strength last year so we haven’t really changed anything. We’re just executing our game plan better. It helps when you bring personnel in too. Anthony Miles has really helped in that area, for a young kid to come in and win as much contested possession as he's done has really given us first use."

Richmond have been far from their best all year however Newman is happy with their recent form and said he wouldn't change anything right now.

"Earlier in the year we kind of went away from winning that contested ball, not that that wasn't our focus we just weren't executing it.

"That’s what we stand for. The Richmond way is contested football but not only that it’s playing with confidence and taking the game on.

"Our strengths are our ball use and our execution of that and that’s starting to go really well now.

"We've come a long way from the start of the season but we've still got a long way to go."

Even with Richmond's recent good form they still go into Friday night's game as underdogs at ($2.50) vs West Coast ($1.54).

“I’ve had a bit of an interrupted season this year with a couple of things, which has been disappointing, but I’ve always had trust in my body,” Newman told SEN.

“I feel like by body has held up reasonably well over the years.

“That’s something you obviously need to keep going - some continuity on the track.

“You don’t want to get to the stage where you’re limping over the line.  You have to weigh up those things, but my body’s been good to me so far, so hopefully I can get through the next six weeks.”

Good to see the club has been honest with his performance this year. Great.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Seriously mate show some respect! We have very little senior experience and Newman our former Captain should be afforded due respect. He has earned the right to discuss his future with the club.

100% agree, athletes are competitive beasts and it is only natural they want to keep going.

A strong man would have the courage to do what was best for the club however.

Malcolm Blight moved on Crows royalty when he arrived, Chris Scott moved on Chapman, Malthouse laid a gauntlet down for Judd.
