For me Newman can push forward, but he's also a foundation defender, and can cover guys like Plowman or Parks without sacrificing somebody like SPS in D50. I'm not going to say he's match fit and ready, but he looked lean which will help.
Plus Newman brings a little bit of mongrel.
PS: Loved seeing Owies get in the oppositions face, not something I've pegged him for! Good to see McGovern getting some mongrel as well, pity about the hammy.

Stocker to become a newer, shinier and slicker version of Joel Selwood in time.....

We have to take the punt IMHO and play guys like SPS, Stocker, Cunningham through the middle....they are the future if they're up for it. Dickheads like Cornes are happy to write Ed Curnow off because "he won't be in the next premiership" but for mine, one of the first picked every week. Has always been able to play that run with tagger type, like he did yesterday, but can still find plenty of it himself. It was farcial trying to turn him into a small/mid sized forward a few years back.
Fingers crossed Williams isn't another long term injury.

Like the way Pittonet plays to instructions, hitting it to ground; just wish he'd make them more accurate to our guys as he missed two easy ones yesterday, and not just by inches.

They might see Setterfield as the replacement for him this week?Surfie, I see Newnes as a value player, you get what you expect and he usually delivers a reasonable but unspectacular game(goal after the siren game excepted). 16 possies@75% DE, 3 tackles vs Essendon.
He often gets put on problem opposition players during games and has to sacrifice his own game so his stats suffer ie last week he was thrown back and was on Charlie Cameron at one stage. If I had Lachie Whitfield and Shai Bolton in the twos on the wing then he wouldnt be playing but at the moment he is better value than the players vying for his position.
The playing group also rate him for his physicality and willingness to support his teammates, co skipper Cripps is a big fan.
I see Cottrell, Gibbons, SPS and Dow as more vulnerable...

How good is it to have a small forward who has the confidence and ability to kick accurately inside the 50 metre arc. When Owies kicked his goals you could see the immediate positive effect it had on our other forwards.
What can be said about Levi? Well past his use by date and giving us nothing.
To me our major area of concern is still the poor delivery into the forward line. In the second quarter in particular we spent so much energy for so little reward. Until we improve we will be punished on the rebound by the top sides.

I have tried to find an analogy to best describe what our fwd play looks like at times compared to the other mob when we play. I have come up with this, to me, it often looks like world class ballet choreography in the oppo fwd line and an ugly all in brawl in ours.
It was ok for enough times for us to score and win yesterday, but at times looked like the above.
