almost gauranteed newnes will kick a goal.............he does that...........
No player should be getting 2 contested possesions in a 20 touch game i don’t care who you areLochie 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
Wasn’t the consensus that they tried him in this role at Aints and he was no good at it and his input dropped off? This led to him being a Blue the next year..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.
He can’t even get the easier part of contested possessions - ’loose ball gets. He is not hitting the scoreboard. His pressure acts and tackles are non existent. His kicking efficiency is average. His metres gained are average. Each week he is reliably unreliable.LoB pretty stiff to get dropped IMO
Have you watched Cottrell lately? He’s gone up a level.I get rewarding VFL form but Newnes and Cottrell do nothing to increase my confidence in us winning
M Kennedy in line of fire now on that front. His transition running is just too slow. As a package Cripps, Kennedy and Hewitt is hard to see lasting IMO.Looks like Voss has brought in players that work harder defensively, clever ploy

He's gotta show more grunt when he's having a bad day.M Kennedy in line of fire now on that front. His transition running is just too slow. As a package Cripps, Kennedy and Hewitt is hard to see lasting IMO.
So no one at all? You're standing by that?No player should be getting 2 contested possesions in a 20 touch game i don’t care who you are
I wonder where he rates Karl Amon with that opinion.So no one at all? You're standing by that?
I guess I need to see it at AFL level to believe it. Hopefully the reason for the selection becomes clear on SunHave you watched Cottrell lately? He’s gone up a level.
You tipped the wrong team.At least Voss sent the playing group a message.
The only issue the "ins" turn the ball over as much as the "outs" (Cottrell/ Newnes)
Real danger game.
Carlton by 1 point
Better footballer than Newnes, not that I think he’s great, didn’t want him when it was rumouredBrandon Ellis won 3 flags
His immediate future will depend on how well he plays Vs the setters / newnes / Cotts wing rotation combo this week.We just have to win the contested ball/clearance
Of course, but what are the chances of him playing in one atm? He’s 29 and I think we all agree it won’t be this seasonEvery premiership team has serviceable players who are just mature bodies that play a role. No one has a team full of stars or super talented players.
A few immediately spring to mind:
Melbourne - Petty, Hibberd, Harmes (though Harmes has improved)
Richmond - Castagna, McIntosh, Lambert
I think thats the wrong way to look at it. We want players that get us to finals and then a grandfinal. Worry about who plays in it then.Of course, but what are the chances of him playing in one atm? He’s 29 and I think we all agree it won’t be this season
I’d just like to be playing players who might be in our next premiership team at this point in time but as I just said elsewhere, no biggie
Erm who? What talented youngster can't get a game on the wing? With the obvious condition that they're actually fit and healthy and ready for selection?Better footballer than Newnes, not that I think he’s great, didn’t want him when it was rumoured
Playing limited footballers at 29 years of age seems a bit pointless to me when we have talented youngsters who can’t get a game
Each to their own though, no big deal I spose
I'm a fan of LOB and see the things he does good moreso than the bad. But as a club, we need to reward the players in the 2s who are doing what is asked of them.Of course, but what are the chances of him playing in one atm? He’s 29 and I think we all agree it won’t be this season

Slight semantics but it was 2 as he was at the Suns in 2020Brandon Ellis won 3 flags
