ADELAIDE veteran Michael Doughty says he’s not thinking about retirement and that he will use the next 10 weeks to try and salvage his career at the club.
Doughty went into the season as one of five Crows aged 30 years or older.
That number has dwindled to four following the retirement of Tyson Edwards and will be cut to three when skipper Simon Goodwin hangs up the boots at the end of the season.
Adelaide’s disappointing start to the year has prompted questions over the future of the remaining three over-30s, Doughty, Andrew McLeod and Brett Burton.
McLeod, who is recuperating from knee surgery, is yet to announce his plans for next year, but on Tuesday Doughty echoed Burton’s sentiments in wanting to play on.
“If my form holds up and the club decides they need me for another year I’ll definitely put my hand up. I’m not thinking about retirement or anything at the moment,” Doughty said.
“My future is on the line in the next 10 weeks and as a senior player I’d need to maintain that consistency for the second half of the year, which I think I can do.”
