Who plays on Cody Weightman and Toby Greene now?

We signed some bloke to a 6 year deal who's a pretty handy lockdown small defender, maybe we should give him a crack

 

[mcgrath_truther]

well done mate, right decision

 

[DapperDon]

Thanks Jake, I was one of your biggest critics but I could never doubt your endeavour.

two such blokes both on long deals as I recall

 

[windyhill]

I liked Bull. ****ing oath he was limited, but, anyway, thanks mate.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

He lost his fearlessness after his most recent concussion, which was his greatest strength as a player. Don't blame him, but when that happens, it's absolutely the correct decision to retire. All the best with life after footy Bull!

Are you talking about Redman? He was pretty well exposed on such players before McGrath moved back and Kelly came in.

 

[Dons4days]

I bet Scott was pretty emotional over this one.

 

[MightyDon]

Much respect, if only Heppell could have called it at 29 he might have left with some respect as well

 

[Howard Moon]

Much respect, if only Heppell could have called it 29 he might have left with some respect as well

 

[brutus76]

Probably becomes a Player Agent/Manager like his old man did

 

[Zach Package]

Respect a rookie success story, to come from nowhere to play 150+ and a key role in a side that should have won a flag had it not shit itself off the back of pure hard work is no mean feat.

Comments section shithouse as always

 

[Phone]

must be a real kick to the shins to retire and then be mocked. i would never

 

[ghostdog]

Thanks Bull! Tough as teak!

 

[JT_the_Man]

Enjoy retirement Jake. Couldn't fault your effort.

 

[Milanista28]

Thanks Jake, good career.

 

[ant555]

Got the most out of himself. Well done Jake.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

As Essington as one could get. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. I'm not going to pretend I liked him. But congrats on a career nevertheless.

 

[Runk]

wasn't a bull at all, more of a pussy, but enjoy retirement mate

I wasnt a fan but he’s at least deserving of some respect after almost two hundred games. Pull your head in.

I might be forgetting a basic grammar rule, but why the comma in the heading?

Comma before a name in a sentence, Kong, is perfectly fine.

 

[nipst@r]

Congrats on the career. Could never fault effort.

Served a purpose and played his role. Probably explains his poor last few weeks. Seemed like a true professional. But must be tough being a whipping boy and was easy to highlight his faults as we all did so really well done on playing 160 odd games and doing it the hard way.

 

[bombreys]

Pick 40 in a Rookie draft to 150+ AFL games off the back of just about pure effort - got to respect it
