newman will never be a total inside mid, he is a little inside & a little outside, he has good skills and chases and tackles
we dont need 3 inside mids in there at once, you need a combination of ball winning, ball recieving and ball carrying & delivering
foley, johnson, king & newman can do all 3
cogs & tuck are genuine inside and handle the winning and distribution (jackson & polo maybe)
tambling, deledio, cotchin, morton, brown, tivendale are more the carrying and delivering types
IMO you need 10 genuine mids in a side, and of that they must be a combination of the above, there are no such thing as wingers, hff now they are all resting mids who can rotate through
1 & 2 -Wingers,
3 -Centre,
4 -RRover
5 -Rover
6 -HFF
7 -HFF
3 on interchange
HBF dont count as they are genuine ball carriers with good disposal, at a push you could add them as onballers also and take your total to 12
if you look at the eagles they always rotated cousins, kerr and others off the hff flanks

My Second rotation, if it worked like that, would be Graham, Tuck, Johnson.
I think in a year or two Connors, Cotchin and Edwards will fit there too. I see Tambling as a linkman, half forward, not really an inside midfielder, nor Deledio.
I think Connors could be the smokey this year he has aggression good size with plenty of skill not sure about pace but we have plenty of that with Foley Deledio Tambling King etc Connors can also take em on & pull out something special maybe an M Voss in the making with the red nut!! Deledio should be used outside as much as possible to use his blistering pace to break lines & kicking to hit targets.
Thats any good and not coming back from 3 years of injury.
He's the only certainty we have. The others are all hope.
Also he's the only one that would walk into any other team in the comp.

Newman will never be an inside mid.
He's got good hands but you'd never waste the penetration and accuracy of his kicking on the inside.
He's the perfect person to be on the end of one of those layoffs and putting it down Richo, Browny petts etc throats.
Geez I don't know if I'm just totally one eyed but this thread is making me look forward to 08 more and more.

I was probably thinking of A grade quality going into the future but I'll concede half way that he's the only other
inside mid, albeit at best he's B-.
