He covered that too. Said he will be taking his kids to watch North each week. Maybe amuse yourself in another thread - this one is to celebrate the end of the longest VFL/AFL career ever played.Not as players, they'll be yours in that regard- but rather, as supporters. It's great knowing the wages North were paying Boomer last year will be spent on Doggies Memberships and Merchandise. Money well spent.
For that alone, all is forgiven. Well done on the great career Boomer.
I wonder if they'll be interested.He covered that too. Said he will be taking his kids to watch North each week. Maybe amuse yourself in another thread - this one is to celebrate the end of the longest VFL/AFL career ever played.
Probably not really a big enough sample size to draw too many conclusionsThere are only certain types of players that can last for 432 games of AFL football.
Yes.Pushed into retirement.
I wonder if he wasnt pushed, would he have gone on next season with North.

Strange from North Melbourne then. He had a decent year didnt he??Yes.
His decision was for loyalty and the romanticism of being a one club player. He said his footy still felt good, and I bet he would have kept going.
Not really - Top 3 of all time is Tuck, Fletcher and Harvey - I don't see any similarities apart from they were old.I think you can get the gist of what I was talking about.
Yes he did, he did everything a half decent small forward should do, kick goals and set others up, but his two way running and tackling efforts were extremely poor this year.Strange from North Melbourne then. He had a decent year didnt he??

Hhahahaha.Stupid question....he has repeatedly said he would have played again
Hhahahaha.
Onya Boomer. A bit of a sad moment. Is that the last of the players who debuted in the 1990s gone?
I could think of worse questions to have surrounding your end – 'why did he play that last year?' 'How did he ever get a game?'It's truly tragic that we as football fans will forever be left wondering how long he could've gone on for.
I honestly believe he could've extended his career by 2-3 seasons playing in a permanent forward pocket role.
