Summary:
* Joel - terrific clubman and family man. Learnt a lot from him playing in the backline with him. The one guy I could turn to in footy and in life.
* Maxwell - Disappointed in his comments. He should have showed some humility given they won by 93 points but he chose to rub our noses in it. Disappointing to accuse us of going out and go for the man. We didn't and as captain he wouldn't allow it. Not sure if he was trying to be controversial on gameday to grab attention. You wouldn't see Lloyd or Judd make those comments as captain.
* Captaincy - been a few kicks in the guts this year but in saying that it's accelerated his leadership abilities. Lloyd said something similar happened to him in his first year winning just 3 games.
* Culture - going to take time to change it to a winning one. Right people and things in place now to go forward into the future. Personally as captain he needed to stay strong. The team doesn't need a captain who doesn't perform on the field. Lloyd said you feel you need to be everything to everyone. Just stay true to yourself and be yourself.
* Cousins - Never experienced something like that getting a Cousins to the club. We felt we had made strides last year so we were excited. Momentum came to a grinding halt in round 1. Not a reflection on Ben. He's been a great addition.
* Round 1 - yeah it didn't get the season off to the way we wanted after coming into the seeason with great expectations but we played fairly well the following week against Geelong. So he doesn't believe it impacted on the rest of the season.
* Sugar, Cambo and Cuz he's learnt the most from. Feels he's developed himself more as a person. Never forget the sensation down your spine leading the boys on the MCG.
* New coach - Not sure. names such as Hardwick, Hinkley and Rawlings been thrown up.
* Rawlings vs Wallace - don't want to compare. Jade has handled the role well given the situation and pressures.
They then put up a graphic - failed early picks?
schulz - #12
gilmour - #21
tambling - #4
Meyer - #12
Polo - #20
JON - #8
Newy doesn't think all those on that list are lost.
Walls said it's also what you do to develop them.
* Development coaches? Newy feels we have the people and resources now. The off-field has improved.
* Sheedy? Newy hasn't see him around the club apart from a few functions.
* Browny, Richo's future? Waiting game. Great players to have around the club. Hopefully they get to stay around. Thought Browny had put his hand up and played some good footy.
* Needs going forward? Need someone up forward but whichever guys are around at that stage (our picks) we need to go with best available.
Walls:
Cuz - keep
Richo - they would burn the grandstand down if the new coach got rid of him.
Browny - career over.
Walls - When Blight took over the crows and got rid of much loved senior players they won two flags straight away. They already had the talent there. So a different scenario to Richmond which doesn't have the talent. Richmond won't win a flag in 5 years.
Newy said Browny's had problems with his groin all year but he's done his most to get back on the park.
* Steve Wright - he's done a terrific job. With the redevelopment. He was a big part of that.
* Fev - they brought up the chat after Fev kicked that goal and that Newy and Fev are best mates.
* Petts' dad - Found out midday. Kayne is doing it tough. Had a shocker of a year (with the kneecap). Newy knew Mike Pettifer personally as well.
