Agree with others that Newman was clearly BOG and showed that he shouldn't have been dropped. I noticed he did a lot more pointing at the start of the second half, but then missed a kick on goal, so went back to just playing footy.

Ludwig's Best: Newman, Cameron, Murray, Dawson, Maibaum.

COL not my best, but I like his toughness. Had a decent game, but made some errors.

Cedric Cox is another kid from Halls Creek, like SPS of Carlton. There was a 3rd Halls Creek kid who I liked, but went undrafted.

Will Davies is such a biased and poor commentator. I don't mind that he's a Lion's supporter, but he makes so many mistakes that the audio and visual just don't match up. He must do it for free, because I can't imagine getting paid for that kind of performance.

The umpiring was baffling at times. They probably get paid, but not sure if it's from the NEAFL.
