2007 Retirees - What a Side.

[scorpion1811]

Never before in the one season have I seen such an exodus of quality and champion retirees. I took the liberty to put together a side of this season's retirees and when each player was in their prime, this side would have been awesome.

B. Chris Johnson James Clement Darryl Wakelin
HB. Glenn Archer Shane Parker Andrew Thompson
Centres Anthony Koutoufides Byron Pickett Mark Ricciuto
HF. Aaron Hamill Chris Grant Matthew Lappin
Forwards Ben Dixon Fraser Gehrig Brett Montgomery
Rucks Luke Darcy Nathan Buckley James Hird
Interchange Darren Gaspar, Scott Camporeale, Chris Scott, Joel Smith

Add possibly Cousins to that list as well. Rumours are that he'll announce his retirement tonight at the Eagles B&F.

Voss was also involved in the Grand Final Retirees this year and was still on the Lions List until now.

No, I'd have Pickett replacing Dixon as a FP.

Voss was also involved in the Grand Final Retirees this year and was still on the Lions List until now.

I wouldn't include Voss. If Brisbane Salary cap issues and messy contract situation kept him on the list that's your issue, but he has retired at the end of last season and did not intend to play any games in 2007. Does not qualify.

Where's the love for Ro-Jo? And Bolts? and Kasey?

Outraged.

 

[spurs]

I think Peter Bell is a near certainty to retire.

 

[danny rooboy]

What about Hay?

It's going to be a new look AFL with so many players not pulling on the jumper next year.
