Nic Newman is one of a number of journeymen at Carlton whose fortunes rise and fall with the dominance or otherwise of the midfield brigade. If the likes of Cripps and Curnow are putting enough pressure on the opposition engine room, there is plenty of ball for the likes of Newman and Sam Docherty to share on the outside. Today the Blues come up against a sorely undermanned West Coast who dropped the guts of their team at selection due to injury, so he and other outside runners for the Bluebaggers could be lucrative picks for daily fantasy.
