Cottrell looked like he wasn't able to pick up the pace of the game yet and Newnes has been getting selected on the basis of kicking a goal or two each week and doing feck all else. Murphy keeps making skill errors that a senior player shouldn't and at crucial times too.
Who are these "best runners" you refer to ??
Running around the ground for miles but not touching the aggot is not something to reward.
Yes, Cottrell looked shell shocked at first but I thought that he adjusted to the tempo and pressure quite well as the game went on. He did some nice things - defensively and offensively - in the second half.
I would have been very disappointed if he wasn’t given an opportunity to build on his first game.
