Haha, I love watching him do that sort of stuff so much.
Took the ball past 7 Hawks in a couple of seconds.
That's a good sign of a team effort.He didn't get a coaches vote either though.
Nor Steele, who had 16 CP's, 7 clearances and 7 tackles.
Love the way he just rolls the Hawthorn bloke off the footy, just after he'd practically punctured his lung!The Parker Effect
Apex predator is the Pink Panther.

Just watched the game. Absolutely fantastic effort.
Obviously Ross was huge for us but gee i loved the game of Newnes. He had big moments time and time again. Crucial clearances
Middle of the third, I think?Sorry mate, I can help you out if you can give me a rough timeframe? Can't place it myself.
Yep, he's had some bad ones, a pretty nasty knee injury that required surgery and a bad case of OP. That's pretty much 2 seasons ruined since he started.It rarely gets mentioned that he’s had a fairly long list of injuries which hasn’t provided him the chance to gain continuity over full seasons.
Coaches votes went something like this:
Coach 1:
5. Ross
4. Billings / Marshall
3. Lonie
2. Sicily / Scully
1. Henderson / Sicily
Coach 2:
5. Ross
4. Marshall / Billings
3. Lonie
2. Scully / Sicily
1. Sicily / Henderson
Both agreed that Ross, Lonie & Sicily were in the best 5. Interesting that only one (of each coach) had Marshall & Billings in the top 5. One coach had Henderson & Scully, who were lucky to make top 5 IMO.
I would’ve had it:
5. Billings
4. Ross
3. GOAT
2. Lonie
1. Newnes
Acres seemed to change the game. I thought he was the spark in the third quarter that seemed to be in a lot of crucial contests & scoring chains.
I'll put the replay back up and see if I can spot it.Middle of the third, I think?
Stupid question, but did he change his boots halfway through the game?
I didn’t notice the pink earlier in the game. ( or maybe he was just running too fast? )
Last sentence is a fair point.And we’ve seen him to this on a number of occasions when given the opportunity. As you said, took the ball past 7 players, which meant Hawthorn were dreadfully exposed out the back with a 3rd of their team left on their haunches. Pity Gresham fluffed the kick.
Acres isn’t a Cripps contested bull he’s a first receiver that you want your grunt player scooping it out too. He’s just so cool in traffic & can really turnaround defence into offence.
I agree with joffa in a sense though, he does need to be more consistent & I think he will once his body stops failing him. It rarely gets mentioned that he’s had a fairly long list of injuries which hasn’t provided him the chance to gain continuity over full seasons.
Unless it was another Lonie dance, I thought it was quite early. The one that I’m thinking was definitely to the end where we kicked 1st and 3rd qtrs. I thought it was the first. Maybe centre-wing-ish?I'll put the replay back up and see if I can spot it.
Any other noteworthy events just before or after that might help me single it out?
If anyone else can chime in with a better idea of when this was - Lonie weaving through traffic - please let me know

Does anyone actually think that free kick paid to Lonie at the end was there ?
Also that free kick not paid for deliberate out of bounds against the Hawk defender who running out of defence looked up and saw only Saints players so he kicked it straight to the boundary line . I watched the three umpires all look at each other then one called throw it in . There wasnt a Hawks player within 30 metres of the boundary . One of the worse non decisions of the year so far .
Don’t Panic !!
Mine too exactly the same was so angryWill have to do this. My taping from Fox finished with about 2.15 left.
