I read that too, if so congratulations to him on a wonderful career.

 

[Max Powers]

Good on you Goo, feel proud to have had a great bloke like you in the club.
Congratulations on a great career.

 

[Joey Seaside]

Sad to see Goo go. He was my favourite, along with Jordan Lewis.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Another kick in the guts

Oh well, Suckers and Duryea slot straight in

 

[WaverleyWiz]

Onya Goo

 

[fr_303]

What a great player he has been, missing last years GF cost as big time.

 

[The GOAT]

Perfect time to bow out, thanks for your services Goo!

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Yep great career, mega underrated ...

Suckling, Shooey, Doc to squeeze into the spot

 

[spudmaster]

Congratulations Goo. 2 * premiership player, hard as nails. The way you turned yourself around from the early days of your career was exemplary. All the best, big fella

 

[juice t]

And not once did he lose to Carlton... At any club he went to

 

[Atch]

One of my favourite players, worked so hard to get where he is now, wasnt afraid to put on the big hits and in my opinion was one of the best kicks ever.

 

[Scared]

He will be sorely missed.

Went out a champion

 

[The_Axeman]

A major key to our resurgence in my opinion.
Congrats on an excellent career Goo. 2x Premiership player - not too many can say that.

 

[philohk]

Well done Goo, not unexpected but will miss your toughness and that big left boot.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Congratulations, Goo. Came in to the club and taught many the Clarkson way (having played under Clarko in the SANFL).

Deserved his two premierships. Good to see him go out on his own terms.

 

[Hawker1167]

Loved watching him play and good he is going out on a high

Best of luck on the next challenge

Vale Che Guerra. ..warrior for the Hawks

 

[HawkMongrel]

Congrats and thanks Goo, you had a stellar career with us and served our club like a champion.

2 time premiership player and out on the biggest high possible.

A great story.

Was a nuggety small forward at Port. Traded to St Kilda, delisted at the end of 2005. Career appeared to be over. He thought it was.

Clarko picked him up and turned him into a half back. He was close to elite at his role. Rarely beaten by small forwards, extremely damaging on the rebound.

Has been a vital part of our back 6 ever since. Incredibly underrated externally, one of the first picked internally.

He's been a Hawk for 8 seasons and has bled Brown & Gold every day. Did the jumper extremely proud.

Goo embraced Hawthorn, Hawthorn embraced Goo.

Hawthorn Life Member.

He was also a massive leader. There are things we won't hear about. I've spoken to former Hawthorn players who said he would give them a massive bake and demand a high standard at training, demand they respect the jumper.

Two time Hawthorn Premiership Hero. Not just a Soldier. A true Warrior of our Club.

 

[moginie]

A great, dependable servant of the club.

Congratulations on a successful career. You will be missed.

 

[tazhawk]

Congrats Goo and thanks for the memories.

 

[Beandip]

I think shepp says it all in particular, well done Goo - I sincerely feel that if we'd had Goo in the team in the 2012 GF, things may have been different...

Champion player, was so hard at it, unshakable, and immovable for his size - you'd back him to win almost every 1on1 he engaged in, and while Duryea's kick is quite good.... I think it will take a lot of work to replace that left boot!

 

[DEECEE]

Fantastic servant of the club. Thanks Goo. Your a champ.
