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...
