If Hawthorn won the flag this year........

[The Cryptkeeper]

Do you think that Shane Crawford would hang up the boots?

He looks as though he could go on for at least a couple more seasons but I am wondering whether he would retire if he was able to win that elusive premiership.

 

[Gilbert_Hodge]

Of course he would. But we need to get to the finals first.

 

[macdaddio]

crawf deserves a flag.. he could have gone for more money a number of times especially when the team was at its lowest.

he stood strong by his club so if we did win the flag i think he would give the game away and move on to the media more......

 

[noosa hawk mad]

Think he'd play on for another year hard to say!Would be a fantastic way to end a stellar career

 

[HigginsHawk]

One thing is for sure, if we won a GF, I would be well and truly p!ssed

 

[Hawks1523]

He might. I think he might push on to try and achieve another flag before he hung them up.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

He'd retire.

We have 4000 youngsters that are worthy of the spot and Crawf would step aside after contributing to the glory.

 

[Junior Boy 33]

If we won the flag this year why the hell would he retire with the hawks on the cusp of a golden era.

 

[Dippers_Mullet]

Crawford will do a Harvey and stick around for a few more years, me thinks.

Hopefully he wont do a Harvey in the regard of not winning a Premiership.

 

[Hawkamania!]

Now that Crawfs breathing capacity will increase by 10-30%, he would want to go on for a few more years if possible. I'm waging he would love a couple of flags before retiring.

If we could win him back to back flags in the next four years, that will be the cream on top of an otherwise great career (of course the first step is to win one).

 

[Hawkarz]

It's very hard to say. I would lyk him to stay on but he might think his time has come.

 

[mighty_fighting]

I think Crawf is as hungry as ever - last weeks game he played like a teenager!!

I am more than certain he would want to play on - and I don't see why the club wouldn't want him to either.

His passion burns hotter than ever - and I don't even think a GF would put that fire out!

I hope we can send him off in style as a premiership player no matter when he retires, he looks fit and healthy and injury free, doesn't seem to have lost much so he could go another 3 i think, but i believe at this stage if he won a flag he would go and i don't blame him.

Agreed. Why wouold he miss out on the three-peat?

 

[Big Ronnie]

I would drive up and down ryrie st and latrobe terrace in my jumper with my middle finger firmly planted in the air and horn going non stop

 

[vanders]

You and me both!

Common knowledge that he would have but because of veteran status, no club could match his pay under the salary cap
