Retired 38. Ciarán Byrne - Officially Retires as at 15th October

[The Bighouse]

Byrne long term injury sustained playing Gaelic this weekend

Null the contract. Sure he’d want the professional rehab on offer but homesickness overriding factor.
Silly lad.
Any idea on what part of the body this time? Assuming another ACL?

 

[FairKouta]

Guess we saved a list spot. But all the best to Casey hope he gets well soon.

I’m not sure, but it was a contact injury.

I don't know exactly but we've almost definitely already delisted him

 

[The Bighouse]

Broke his ankle.

Bad news. A new injury. Scully territory, see what the wash up is.

 

[thylacine60]

Broke his ankle.

fmd, bloke's made of glass - that's that then - so close and when you think about it, never really in the running - not in any long-term genuine way - great shame - he gave everything he had it has to be said.........

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Broke his ankle.

Great, send him to Hawthorn for pick in the 60’s....

 

[Navara79]

I feel sorry for Byrne. None of us really know what he is going through. He'd feel even worse now. At least he will have his families support right now

 

[Duigan Alley34]

In Casey didn't realise, the club probably doesn't want him back now...

An Ode to Ciaran may be required..

 

[Aphrodite]

Awful news on Ciaran.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Byrne did all the hard work getting over his ACL.

Going to regret his decision to go home and do this down the track.

Disappointing.

We should delist him. What's the point otherwise? He ain't Guy McKenna last time I checked.

 

[HBF]

Hope Casey is ok, regardless if he comes back or not.

Disappointing.

Should have been in contact with Ciaran Sheehan. That’s 2 broken Irish recruits that I desperately wanted to see succeed at AFL level.

 

[GoBlues!]

Broke his ankle.

Can we trade him to Hawthorn with Scully, fmd what rotten luck.

 

[dlb99]

injury prone... so many injury prone players on our list....

That's why we got the master fitness guru in Andrew Russell.

He managed to get games into O'Meara who's knees are made of pulp.

 

[cfc4life]

Am I alone in being pretty filthy with how this whole Byrne thing went?

I understand being homesick but geez, talk about stuffing your career up.

 

[rampar]

Can we trade him to Hawthorn with Scully, fmd.

heck no. We only trade resilient Irishmen.

 

[Juddrockz]

serious?

I read this on Twitter earlier today as well.
Bloody shame.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Pick 90?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

**** me. The guy is cursed.

 

[jd2010]

Do we get some sort of compo pick for Byrne not coming back?

Insert background music..

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

 

[zeeCFC]

Not his knee but he won't be playing any sport for a while and sadly for him he won't get paid to rehab
