How big are/ were Stewies hands?

[saintbrat]

Story in today's H-S about a guy with really big hands, could pick up a ball with one hand.
Were Stewie's ever measured?

[rodgerfox]

Not sure.

Was at a pub with a mate one night, and my mate went to Stewie and said something along the lines of 'show us your hands Stewie'.

Stewie promptly told him to f*** off and leave him alone.


So I never saw them up close.

Understandable
People often come up to me in pubs and say 'hey con show us your c****"
It gets tiring let me tell you

I shook his hand one time when we used Club 10 in the 90s for the business I was working for. Stewie's hands were fricken enormous. Oh and gary Abblett senior is a c%$# of a human being, Wayne Carey was a toss pot and Richo was a good bloke.

I would suggest most players can pick up a ball one handed. Loewe hand was measured.

Why would you say that. Surely it wasnt because a fool like RF made up some story about Loewe?

[rodgerfox]

His exact words were "f*** off mate! I'm not a f****** circus sideshow."

True story.

Of course it is. No other reason at all? The Loewe I have met would have never said that and he doesnt know me apart from a few meetings with mates.

Am I right in thinking the Herald-Sun once did a front page story on Loewe, with a photo
of Stewie holding 37 eggs in his mitts, or something like that???

Its all in the delivery - saying that could actually sound funny in the right context!

I remember an article in herald sun - scarily probably 15 years ago - where they measured his hands and they were massive

[rodgerfox]

It was the Saturday night directly after that article. And no, it wasn't said in jest!

[Cairnsman]

Stewie used to play a regular game of squash with Stuart Trott at the Mornington Squash courts and I remember vividly his grip. Sorta like Shrek hands.

"....Big hands I know you're the one.."

[bigcarl]

Don't know the exact dimensions but apparently they were like buckets and he could hold a dozen eggs in each ... without breaking one

[rodgerfox]

By the way, I can hold a footy in one hand. I could back in the U17s.

Had a drink with him after a game at Geelong, when it was my shout and I handed him a pot his fingers were past his thumb wrapped around the top of the pot!
Next time you grab a pot see hoe far your mitts wrap around.
He has enormous mitts

[skeptic]

size of buckets I believe

[Enrico_Misso]

The Sunday Age once had a real size photo of his hand on the back page.
Took up most of the page.
Absolutely enormous - about double mine!

Why would I say what? .... that he has big hands? He was a really nice guy and was close family friends with a work colleague who had him come to my office and sign half the stuff in there as a joke including a charity auction team print I was too embarrassed to have at home. I still have it in my shed.

Stewie was an awesome guy. I was in the rooms and at the after function a year later in Sydney he remembered me and came and said hello so I only have good things to say about the guy but his hands were genuinely huge.

I have only met him once. Day before GF vs Geelong.
Went to Dreamworld and i had walked past him - was wearing my saints top. He asked if i was nervous for tomorrow - had a very brief chat and we shook hands. Now im on the very short side - all 156cms of me.. and his had swallowed mine!

Not that helps in the scheme of things but i remember it clearly.
