Carlton have delisted Jack Newnes. 207 career games, done before turning 30. I am not advocating a return.
But in 2016 he averaged 23 disposals, 3 tackles, 4.73 inside 50s and kicked 15.3. After 2017 he was never quite the same, but his 2015-2017 numbers were more than adequate.
Also the joint record holder for most consecutive games played at St Kilda (123, held with Ian Syman, Callum Wilkie is currently on 85).
Wowzers, he played like 16 games or so for them this year, you’d think a player you rate like that would at least be kept on as depth? Even if they’ve got another HB/wingman type they expect to play ahead of him next year, to go from playing ~75% of games in the last 3 seasons to delisted is a little howyagoin…
Unless Carlton really, really, really weren’t happy with his defensive effort on Pickett lol
