Carlton vs Brisbane Practice Match

[Inboltswetrust]

This is what i wrote about Newnes recently. I've said similar over the past 6-12 months.

Just looking through the stats....
Newnes 20 touches.
Curnow 20 touches
Newman 19 touches

I know it was far from his best game......and lets face it, nobody really turned up after half time.....but he does 'as advertised'. Not sure where all the hate is coming from. Plenty of 'mates' on the day.

These players, Newnes and Ed are perennial butchers of the football.  It wouldn't matter if they had 30 touches, in fact, you don't want them to have 30 touches.  Ed is a tagger only.  He cannot kick properly- e.g all his kicks go up in the air.  Newnes was horrible at the saints (hence his dropping) and will be horrible at our club.  It is not rocket science.  Retreds are cheap but cause your car to be a danger to everyone on the road when they fail.  Our coaching is horrible (line coaches) and the board is a joke.  I have been saying this for about 10 years on here but noone listens.  17th or 18th.  Again.
