Decent in loss
Newman recorded 25 disposals (20 kicks, five handballs) to go with eight marks made and five tackles completed during Saturday's 76-57 loss to Gold Coast in Round 21.
ANALYSIS
In a result that practically ends Carlton's finals hopes, Newman was kept busy during a contest that was tight until the fourth quarter. This game represented Newman's first time recording over 20 disposals in his last four matches, so he'll have better value if he can match these efforts over the rest of the season.

Solid performance in win
Newman logged 24 disposals (23 kicks, one handball) and made 11 marks during Saturday's 80-64 win over Fremantle in Round 16.
ANALYSIS
Newman has looked impressive over his last two games with 22 marks to his name. While staying over 10 marks per game is difficult, Newman looks to be a positive asset in a team that could finally have found a better formula to win games.

Returning this weekend
Newman is in line to play against Essendon this weekend at the AFL or VFL level, according to Director of High Performance Andrew Russell.
ANALYSIS
Newman hasn't played in nearly a year and completed his return on schedule by getting ready for Round 7. He only played twice in 2020 due to a long-term knee injury and will need to prove his value over the coming weeks.

To return in May or later
Newman (kneecap) has stepped up his running regiment but isn't expected to be back until Round 7 or later, according to Director of High Performance Andrew Russell.
ANALYSIS
Newman only played twice last season and suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee injury in February. Look for him to return to the field at some point in May at the earliest, though he may be saved until later as a precaution.
