Mitchell explains shock Newcombe substitution in Hawks win
Travel and the importance of Hawthorn's upcoming clash with Adelaide was behind coach Sam Mitchell removing star Jai Newcombe from Thursday night's game. Newcombe was forced to pass a fitness test on Wednesday and was substituted out of Hawthorn's 24-point win over Carlton at the MCG. But Mitchell said Newcombe's calf was completely fine and was taken out of the match with one eye on the Crows next week. Hawthorn and Adelaide played a thriller in Launceston earlier this year and only percentage separates them in third and fourth. '(Newcombe) had a bit of a tight calf, we had a five-day break, he did a fitness test before the captain's run yesterday and passed that so he was no worries,' Mitchell said. 'We've got travel, we go over to Adelaide on Friday night next week, it's obviously going to be a massive game for us and them as well. 'That's the game we want our players fresh and ready, and if we've got the chance to take Jai out and get some game time into others, him a freshen up, we thought that was a win. 'He could've kept playing, I actually asked him, got on the phone with him and said, 'How are you feeling mate?' And he goes, 'Yeah that might not be a bad idea'. 'He will certainly play next week, he'll be fine.' The decision to sub Newcombe was softened by the return of Will Day. Day had 15 disposals in limited game time, showing glimpses of the early-season form that catapulted him to Brownlow Medal discussions. 'The first four or five games of the season was when he went out and they tagged him in his first game back so that just shows how Carlton feel about him,' Mitchell said. '70 per cent game time was the marker and I think he finished on 69, we're really pleased we were able to get him through the game. 'He plays the game in a certain way, I think everyone likes the way Will Day plays especially because he's probably not built for playing it like that. 'I think sometimes he's got a loveable demeanour about him, he did a couple of things tonight where you're like, 'Oh yeah, there it is'. 'He will obviously be better for playing the game.'

‘There's no justice': Mother of Halifax murder victim pleads for answers 13 years later
The mother of a Halifax tattoo artist killed in a 2012 shooting is speaking out about the investigation surrounding her son's murder. No arrests have been made in the homicide of 27-year-old John Newcombe, but his mother believes there's someone out there who can help solve the case once and for all. 'That's what John needs. That's what his family needs … the justice,' said Laura Lee Jennex, who desperately combs through newspaper articles and Facebook group posts to try and uncover the truth. Newcombe was a rising hip-hop artist and owner of a tattoo shop when he was gunned down outside Winston's Pub in Clayton Park during the early morning hours of June 1, 2012. View image in full screen John Newcombe, 27, was shot outside a bar in the Clayton Park area of Halifax on June 1, 2012. Halifax Regional Police According to Halifax Regional Police at the time, responding officers found Newcombe on the sidewalk outside the bar. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Story continues below advertisement The investigation found that Newcombe had just left the bar when he was shot in the parking lot. The shooter reportedly fled through a walkway towards Willet Street where he was picked up by a vehicle.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Police said they believed Newcombe was the intended target and that it wasn't a random incident. Jennex says she believes her son knew he was in danger. She said she recently spoke with a man who told her he was there the night of her son's killing. 'He said that he was in the bar. John had went out for a cigarette. John came back in and said, 'That guy's here,'' she said. 'This person didn't know who John was referring to, but they went out and there was some people in a car. One of them got out and was giving John a hard time. And at the end of it, the fella said, 'Never mind, I'll be back for you later.' And they left.' Jennex says her son was killed an hour later after that interaction. She says she has received few updates from detectives over the years since Newcombe's death. 'It was maddening because there was very little correspondence with Halifax police or the detectives. They had never returned my phone calls. They had not reached out to me,' she said. Story continues below advertisement Halifax police have said they believe there are people who have information that could solve his murder. Jennex says there's no better time than now for someone to speak up. 'All I want is to be able to put John to rest. I still have his ashes. I haven't been able to do anything with them because I feel like I'd be giving up on him if I did that, where there's no justice,' she said. She remembers her son as an artistic man, who loved his career as a tattoo artist and wrote his own hip-hop songs and had released some 20 music videos. 'I wasn't really familiar with the hip-hop scene. But being a singer and songwriter myself, I recognized that John was getting his thoughts and feelings down on paper and through his music,' she said. 'So as he says in some of his songs, it was a form of therapy to be able to do that. And I was just so, so proud of him when I looked at him as an artist.' Her message to anyone with information about her son's death is simple: come forward. 'It's been 13 years. I realize back then you would have been in your 20s, probably. Now you'd probably you're in your 40s and have a family of your own, perhaps,' she said. Story continues below advertisement 'But I feel like now is the time to come forward. I think the circumstances for people are now safer to speak. So I'm encouraging anyone to please help put this to bed.' Newcombe's case was added to the province's Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes program in 2017. There is a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
