Tiger legend.

He kicked some bloody sick goals

Dazzling Castagna bursts past all, including ump

Jason Castagna turns on the jets and scores a tremendous goal after skipping past everyone

One of my favourites. His legs look like the Road Runner as he runs in towards goal!

I appreciate everything George has done for the club and wish him all the best.
Can the club call back Narkle or is it too late?

Joining Essendon’s vfl.

I think he has been told there is a few blokes in front of him and that he will struggle to get a game so he took an easy way out instead of working his butt off to get in the team

Bullshit

Too late, we’ll need to wait until mid season draft to replace him

Narkle would’ve been handy to have

Easy way out? He could have spent the year coasting in the VFL for a paycheck. **** some of you blokes are pathetic.

 

[guruisatiger]

Suprising. But poor timing, should have done 2 weeks ago if he had itnon his mind

If you can't say anything nice then shut the **** up
Or go support another team

 

[dktm]

Really weird decision. Even if he saw the writing on the wall in terms of getting a game this season you can't tell me that he wouldn't have found a spot on another teams list (and AFL side) in the future

maybe he wasn't interested in playing for any other club

 

[Rubber Hips]

your fault Gropie

 

[dktm]

List management would be fuming right now

and you would know

 

[biaseddustyfan]

did astbury show up just for chaos' retirement speech or is he doing something else at the club

 

[Rubber Hips]

game day threads are going to be boring without George


on a serious note….Thanks Jason…triple premiership player…you gave it your all…were consistent in our premiership years in goal scoring (along with Dusty)

thanks…go well

 

[tigs2010]

Said he wished he was delisted. A real Richmond man.

 

[tiger_tough]

Opens the door for an MRJ debut

 

[captain cotch 9]

He has achieved more than any keyboard warrior will ever.
Bloody great career and seems like a ripping bloke.
Even though he wasn’t the most talented he gave 100% every week and that’s all you can ask.

 

[Area51]

Great admiration for what he contributed to the team. Enjoy retirement George.

 

[SunshineBoy]

Why do I need a ****ing because Groupie_ starts a thread the campaigner

R0und 6?

 

[bc27]

Retires a tiger for life.

Thanks for the memories George.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

I think this shows just how taxing our small forward roles are on players. Butler lost his form for us and we were happy to shunt him to st kilda, Rioli dropped off to point the usuals we’re wanting him delisted, others like stack have been tried and found wanting.

I think this is what it ultimately comes down to. Bloody hard position to play requires a lot of effort for a lot of the time little reward, at least individual reward. If your key forward isn't any good then the opposition mark the ball and you have few opportunities, if the key forward is too good he marks the ball and you have even less opportunities.

stupid comment to say it was an easy way out, workin has butt off and doing a hammy may have been one of the contributing factors to his decision, plus discussions on his likelyhood of being a regular gig in 2023 and recent marriage and starting a family.... plus imbecile supporters criticising him if he got back in the seniors and same ones crying and up him for being good in the 2s and being a good depth but still clogging up the list would have weighed heavily on him
and affected his love and desire to keep 100%.

bloke was on a hiding to nothing so he called time. respect.

10 times i wanted to throttle him over the years but 100 times I wanted to hug him for his deeds. contributed to 3 premierships so well done George.
