I think i recall him having potential quad issue at one stage too.
Whether its knee, groin, quad or whatever......he has never been a confident kick. Especially from 50. He lacks penetration from set shots. Im no goal kicking expert but his preparation/routine is all over the place like a mad womans s...

Same, we were watching it and my daughter says "Do you reckon he'll kick it" to which I replied "not a hope in hell, we dont pinch games after the siren". Happy to be proven wrong, best win in a very long time.

btw. What is it with these big FFs not having to face the football in those one on one battles, is this a new rule? That is two games, this one against Freo and the Aints game, that a resting ruckmen/FF has basically turned their back to the ball and thrown our KPD to the ground while the ball is 30m away and not been penalised!
Re: FF antics
I've been wondering that too. No idea what's going on ?

Must say, deeply impressed with Newnes’ composure, didn’t think he had that in him ; and I mean taking his time, making sure the cameraman moved and then still made a fuss to move the security guy and his darn cables. Very impressive.
Also note Eddie came up to both Jones & Newnes -

Yes. Newnes took it on like a professional. Prepare the site. Unload the tools, and get the job done. As it turned out, Eddie and the crew gave him a hand with the clean up ?

I think Newnes may well come out of his shell now.
His better years at St K. saw him average 23 disposals a game. Thus far with us, averaging 11.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Hard to compare at the moment. I think games are on average about 20 mins shorter, which results in almost one quarter less.
Game styles differ a little at the minute too, where teams are going faster which results in less chains of posession and longer kicks into the forward line.
Still, lets hope you are right.
