Wc prediction IN Sinclar, Barrass, Newman. OUT McGovern, Lecras, Butler (sore) if fit Mcginnity goes out #westernderby

Wouldn't mind those changes even if Newman has not set the world on fire i think if given a chance on the big stage he might surprise a few people with being given a second chance.

I do not like having Mcginnity, Hutchings & Scooter all in the same team and i were to choose two it would have to be Hutchings & scooter. Scooter to tag Hill and Hutchings on Neale.
Newman in would be a huge risk. Surely he meant Nelson?

Not only has Newman not played AFL for a long time, he's not even in great form. I don't mind us playing him eventually, but wait until he's got some steam up before bringing him into the furnace

Even though he has been elevated there is no way Newman will come in. Pretty sure he meant Nelson who is playing some great footy at the moment.
 
Bring back Nelson

Agreed I don't like Selwood, Hutchings and Ginners all in the same team boy I miss Duggan

Ins' Nelson (Dash), Hill (Polish), Sinclair and Barras
Out: Ginners, Lecras, Butler, McGovern

Selwood is very lucky that Duggan is injured otherwise will be out the door.

Who is the small forward if he meant Nelson? Someone needs to replace LeCras in his position of half forward/wing.

Newman has been held over as an emergency for a game or two this year, it's not too far fetched to think he might play.

Apparently he's been killing it in the nets.
Good for a solid 30?

Newman might be able to sit deep in the pocket all game and hope he gets a cheap goal or two, but if it's a HFF/Wing replacement we want, then I'd suggest Nelson would be better equipped than Newman, given Newman has never played up the ground in an AFL match, let alone the fact he hasn't ever experienced the kind of pressure that the game will be played at.

Nelson has AFL experience in a derby and in tight matches against Port Adelaide and North Melbourne. He kicked 2 goals last week - Muzza hasn't kicked a goal since Round 13.

Cripps is our #1 small forward - we can rotate Masten, Hutchings (and McGinnity if he's retained) on the HFF. Nelson replaces Butler (according to the original tweet).

We need to see if Newman is up to AFL so I wouldn't be surprised if he got a game - even if his recent form is probably not deserving.
