Essendon favourite Jason Winderlich today announced he would not play on in 2015.
BigFooty.com members posted their tributes:
scezza: One of the smartest players on our list. I always thought if he was 20cm taller and not injury prone he could have been one of the better key forwards of his generation – he is that smart.
daffo: I love Winders, he is a gun and one of the best field kicks in our team. I don’t think his body can hold up another year so he is doing what is best for the team. Legend material.
Red Black and Blue: Absolute gun, could have been an AA quality half back/forward if not for the horrid run with injuries. Vale Winders, you will be missed.
TheFrenchCut: well done Windy on a great career. The portion he could control, he did brilliantly. Anyone remember that game a couple of years ago, versus Adelaide, where he was pretty much at full-forward and kicked 4 by half-time? Absolutely monstered his opponent. Was an incredible contested mark for a mid-size player.
