Both have been doing pretty well in vfl. Both are a lot harder at the ball than Lochie

That's what I said....
And there are more to come as more players come back from injury. I can't see gov, cunners, honey, Stocker (yes I know he's back already) being kept out of the team much longer and Cripps will come back too.
Kemp and others pushing too
If your seconds are performing and there's a performance lacking the fundamental desire toughness and commitment shown like last week changes are easy. There's still players in the firsts who haven't put together a full good game yet. Very patchy.
Lambert was a B&F winner in a premiership year, can play.
The item in bold is my observation, looks good with the pill

Yea Lambert quite good
Better output is a given.
Apart from the early rebuild years, where i preferred the kids getting games, I have never worried about the names or reputation, just team ethos output

almost gauranteed newnes will kick a goal.............he does that...........
I also wonder whether Cottrell will play wing or defensive half forward
I could see Cottrell playing as the defensive half forward ( I think it could work) - maybe him playing more to stop the ball getting out rather than being our delivery into the forward line (from the wing)
but surprised that LOB is out and that may mean Cottrell is just being rewarded for his efforts, I hope he has improved his disposal and he hits a few targets in Navy Blue
Happy LOB is out. I love his positioning and kicking but he has to figure out how to win a ground ball and stop missing tackles. He will be back if he can sort out that aspect of his game. I think he has elite traits but I just can’t stand the one on ones he is dishing up this year.
Yeah but that's because clubs value things the media and players don't necessarily see. Pretty sure most supporters didn't have Plowman as perennial top 5 Carlton players but the club thought otherwise over the years.
Lambert is a mature age pick up who is mostly known for his hard running, physicality and determination. Not his silky foot skills or anything like that, that's kind of the point I'm making with people questioning Newnes' selection.

Umm... wow
Someone said Cottrell has been playing a bit of half forward in the VFL?
So Newnes probably on the wing. Cottrell mostly high half forward. I feel like Newnes could play the half high forward role pretty well too, has shown to be a decent kick for goal in his time with us.
Like the ins, would have preferred to keep LOB in and drop Marrtin, but I understand what the MC are trying to achieve and like the message it sends.
I feel that this week has massive season ramifications and if we can manage to jag a win I think it would have such a positive impact to the mindset of the team in terms of winning without Crip that it could see us nail 3-4 in a row and go on a bit of a run with our tails up.
We all know that Gray almost always tears us a new one and we have to watch Georgideis and Rozee in a similar vein and if we can nullify these 3 I think it will go a long way to winning the game. Port also get great drive out of their wingers hence Vossy bring in the hard nosed and hard running pair of Cotters and Newnes to limit Houston and Amon.
I’m staggered that Aliir is back after 3 week, Walsh is super human and he did it in 5-6 weeks so that prob makes Aliir a genetic freak and or Port is being desperate and negligent in rushing him back.
Going to be a great game.

Lochie isn’t a hard ball getter though. Never understood this notion about every single player having to go in hard for the footy. He is a winger which means uncontested ball.. id be concerned if he had to win his own ball. Kid had a ripping left foot on him. Bit stiff on the omission

I’ve got no problem with it as the players in the 2s need to be rewarded for good form and the players in the 1s need to learn that they can’t take their spots for granted.
Hopefully the message is heeded by the likes of Fisher and Martin.

He also showed terrible awareness losing Rosas at a boundary throw in deep in the form line that cost us a goal. Those sort of things are unforgivable. He has played one good game out of 4 (vs Bulldogs) this year so I thinks it’s fair enough.

Pretty sure the best he did was third in a BnF in one of their flag years but I take your point he was better than a fringe mature body player
Just double checked he was 3rd in their BnF in 2017 and 2nd in 2018 and also made the AA squad in 2018.
Spot on, they are non existent making him a weak link in the chain.

His hair was always too short for him to be a fringe player

Reckon with those changes we want to be harder to move the ball against
Seems obvious to me that our problem in the last two games is defense. TDK was liable to be sent back eventually despite my post about his being there to learn. Parks will bring some tough Ken Hunter style ball attack. Newnes always does his job.
Cripps -> Setterfield
Fog -> Durdin
Plowman -> Parks
LOB -> Newnes
Setterfield -> Cottrell
TDK -> Pittonet
It feels like we're selecting based on positions, which I don't mind. We're also rewarding good efforts in the 2's.
