Universal Love Chris Newman

[TheAnt]

Ever reliable, finally gets to play finals and this is a man who truly loves his club..

 

[peternorth]

he bleeds richmond gold and black.

his desperation was great. loves wet weather footy.

any of the young kids should get around him.

 

[Jimmybob]

When I saw that I just had an urge to give him a big Conca cuddle!

 

[DustinsGuns]

Great to see his reaction.

 

[Wally Matera]

You want to cry for a bloke like that. I'm feeling a bit at the moment.

 

[Sterge]

That picture speaks volumes loved seeing it after the game

 

[mcuzzy]

There was a thread on the main board with everyone writing him off, he's had a fairly good season and was brilliant today

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Put him I cotton wool till the finals he deserves it , super player and a even better person .

 

[Cotcho]

Agree with this. God forbid Newy gets injured and doesn't get a finals gig.

Get him right for finals!

 

[sante]

What a champion of the club!!!

 

[DontArgue4]

Best reaction I've seen all year. Loved it

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Epic photo. Love the bloke, Rance's comments in the post match conference also show that the players desperately want to play finals for him. Heart and soul of the team

 

[bigange]

When the club releases a special edition of this shot after Newy hangs up the boots in a year or two I'll be snapping one up.

One of my fave footy images I've seen in a long while.

 

[deliberate!!]

Absolute star.

Could have still been Captain this year to take the pressure off Cotchy's game.
Consistence and calm for many, many years.

One of the great Richmond Captains.

You deserve all the good luck (and Finals) we can give you Newy!

 

[3rdManUp]

So much contrast between this picture

I'll never forget the mouth guard throw from the WCE match last year. Great to see a grin on his face. Good onya Newy, you deserve it.

 

[salival462]

I just made my pretty new avatar, then I come on here and see this thread haha

seems i'm not the only one who got emotional over this picture, I couldn't care the price of a memorabilia piece of this image, I would still get it!

wouldn't know if anyone snapped it though, apart from the TV cameras...

There's been a few on the Richmond board (in one thread by one poster in particular) who have unfairly laid the boots in this year. Much to my surprise, that thread wasn't bumped this week.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Chrissy Newman has a touch of Planet of the Apes don't you think? Love the bloke!

[mcuzzy]

I think that's the reason he doesn't get his hair cut short at the sides, his ears stick out a bit

 

[RoaringTiger]

He is a really great bloke as well apparently. As in, one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Can't wait to see him have some finals success.

 

[TheProwler]

Got a fair bit of respect for Newy. Poor bloke given the captaincy then had to hold things together with plough refusing to go!

Got to say I have some man love for Newy

 

[ibra]

Anyone see his half court shot in the rumble in the jungle netball challenge? Quality, all net!

 

[flaps]

My favourite piece:

 

[juss]

Was such great scenes that shot at the end of the game, definetely deserves it this year.
