Newman posted 88 in Carlton's 11-point loss at the Gabba — comfortably above his 65 BE and right on his 90 average in a competitive defeat. This is what premium DEF consistency looks like: the team lost, he delivered. Cash gen ticking along at $290/wk from $445.1k. No action needed. Hold with conviction and captain him in home games against softer opposition.
