Brad Ottens retires

[TD05]

Went from a handbag to a star. Big game player who was definitely central to their 3 flags.

 

[Swarhily]

Great player, hard to replace.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Really good player. Always stepped up in big games when the side needed him to.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

All of a sudden our ruck stocks have played a combined total of 32 games (West, Simpson, Vardy, Bathie)

Hey, at least we still have a Premiership ruckman in the side!

 

[Bomberman86]

Was a better player when he was a tiger. That's when he could jump and kick straighter for goal. Very talented but always injury prone

What??????

 

[bloodsportz]

One of the best ruckman that has played the game.

Clutched finals, went forward to kick goals, got down and dirty. Geelong could easily be the modern day St Kilda with 0 flags without him, actually, I dont think he would have won any of the flags we did without him.

The 2007 prelim was one of the best individual performances I have seen.

You think Geelong minues Ottens is Geelong minus 3 flags? With all due respect that's ridiculous.

Im not a fan of this kind of hypothetical, picking out good players from close games.

Joel Coreys smother in the 07 prelim, his dominance in the final quarter of 2009 GF, we would be down to 0 or 1 premierships without him to.

Bartel belted Hayes in 09, Norm in 11, down to 0 or 1 premierships without him.
