Universal Love Brent Guerra - two time premiership hero - retires

[WWSD]

Don't care what anyone say's, he was in my opinion the best small defender in the competition. What a pick up by Alastair Clarkson. From 2006-2013 Guerra played 159/181 games. On top of that he retires a dual premiership player. He was one of our most reliable and consistent defenders and he goes out retiring in style.

All the best in your future Guerra!

One of my favourites
Shame they killed the bump before he killed anyone.
I was hoping for a scalp or two on the weekend as a parting gift.
We will miss that foot and his lack of fear

 

[toomanysquibs]

Absolute champion for the HFC, had that unbelievable combination of skill and hardness so rare in even the best players.

 

[Flukey!]

Well done Goo. Superstar player and bloke.

 

[KINGBUDDY]

love ya goo, loved the way you played...

you will be missed.

 

[QuietB]

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

That is an awesome career in itself.

Well done Goo - congratulations on a great career.

 

[ACTion Hawks]

Well done and all the best Goo. you are a legend of the Hawks - nuff said!

 

[hawkstars]

Well done!

 

[chaddles]

Got that feeling he had retirement on the mind after his granny celebrations. Will be remembered as a fantastic dual premiership Hawthorn player that loved his time at the club. They talk about the "Bloods" culture, but I think the Hawthorn culture is severely underrated with players like Goo the backbone of this great club.

Congratulations to Brent and a shame he couldn't get 1 more year oh of himself.

 

[Hungry Hawk]

It's hard to imagine Goo in any other jumper.

Will always be remembered as a Hawthorn Champion.

True hard nut. Congrats Goo

Thank you for everything Goo.
Ending your career with a premiership win - can't think of any better way to do it.

 

[Great 2008]

Big out. One of my favourite players ever. Remember texting a Saints mate after the 2008 GF and saying thanks for Guerra; he was not happy. I was being sincere as.

 

[Brishawk]

I might have been misreading things but it appeared that all the defenders shook his hand when they walked into the back 50 before the start of the last quarter. What a legend he has been. Great player and dual premiership player. ALWAYS Hawthorn!

 

[whiteTiga2k]

You have been fantastic for the Club Goo... we all love you... so glad you got your second premiership with us.

We would of won last year if you were there... i have no doubt.

Thanks for being a Hawthorn Hawks Champion

 

[DrEvil]

Well done Guerra. Champion.

 

[Links_234]

Thanks for everything Goo, true champion! Hopefully he stays at the club in some capacity.

 

[savagelunchbox]

The Carlton forward line all smiled at the news of Goo's retirement.

Warrior, Brutus, Brick Shithouse, call him what you like, he was a player who bled the Hawthorn colours and played with a Brown and Gold heart.

 

[LuvMyHawks]

We will miss you Goo. You have been a fantastic player for us. I hope you will find happiness after all the years you had with us,you deserve the best! Thanks Goo...You will always be remembered by Hawk supporters and members.Good Luck.

 

[Cynic]

So so pleased the bloke got this year's flag after the tragedy of last year.

Thanks for the service Guerra, you'll always be a Hawk in my books.

 

[BigAl3001]

Well timed Goo. The signs were there but you go out on top and will be remembered that way and not as a flog who held on for one year too many.

 

[Yuley95]

The bloke set a standard in terms of hardness and no fuss. He will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the memories Goo

 

[bards]

Great result for us and Goo. He goes out a champ and we free more cap space and more importantly open anther spot for a kid. Transition time now for us, couple each year.

 

[HawKing80]

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

15-0 record against the Blues. Didn't lose to Suns (3-0) or Giants (1-0) either. Only has a less than .500 winning % against Cats (9-13) and Snakes (8-10).
Enjoy retirement and making baby Goos so we can F/S them!

 

[ScottMaginness]

Congratulations on a great career Brent Guerra. Loved watching him play and the way he could kick a 50m ball burster off just a step. Could see he hated getting beaten in a one-on-one contest and was always competing even when we were heading for a loss.
