JACK NEWNES!!!
I know he’s gone but what a kick... assey after the siren goal from the boundary. Always looked confident
Well done kid

Re: JACK NEWNES!!!
Pretty soft downfield kick to pay with 10 seconds left!!!!
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Jack Newnes the hero
Turned over the idiot box just in time to see Newnes win the game for Carlton with a kick after the siren.
No ordinary kick, either. 45 metres out literally launching off the boundary fence. Worth a look, never looked like missing.

Well done Newnsie. And it brings us older Sainters back to another contentious free kick back in '98 ....

Re: JACK NEWNES!!!
Newnes should not have even taken the kick I think Gibbons was a lot closer

Re: JACK NEWNES!!!
Just to meld two popular threads together:
Have a look at Hill vs Newnes in one of those footywire comparison thingies.
Almost identical numbers in every category except NEWNES has the much greater disposal efficiency!
We sold the farm for one and put the other out with the hard rubbish!
GO FIGURE!

Re: JACK NEWNES!!!
Cant 100% confirm but some saying that the rules say that a down the ground free kick that is kicked out on the full should be taken from where the infringement occurred
So after getting that wrong they then give the wrongly awarded downfield kick to a player who was further away as well
That is some extremely bad umpiring - glad it wasn't us on the receiving end

Newnes had stagnated with us - Hill will hit his straps soon enough

Re: JACK NEWNES!!!
do you expect Hill to hit his straps before or after Hannabery?Devilhead wrote: ↑Sun 16 Aug 2020 12:06amAnd I for one am glad we didwhiskers3614 wrote: ↑Sun 16 Aug 2020 12:02am Just to meld two popular threads together:

Re: JACK NEWNES!!!
Freo were insipid.
We should have offered Newnes a 5 year contract.
