[hawkman]

Gunston and Breust probably

 

[burge13]

Tex got 1 more year in him?

I think so, hes slowing down pretty quick but our forward line is hopeless without him

Dusty

Pendles

Hawkins

All retiring in the same year will be interesting and settle some “who is better” debates based on who wins the madden medal (Best career of retiring class)

 

[HairyO]

Gunston and Breust probably

Gunston may go around again. Breust has been carrying an injury all year and if he doesnt fix it quite likely will retire. But if he can get fit he may want to go again.

It comes down to who they would be keeping out of the team - which at the moment isnt really anyone.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Goldstein, Boak, Hawkins, Tuohy, Walker, Zorko, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Fyfe, Rohan, Martin, Lynch, Liba, Heppell, Pendlebury, Stanley, Breust, Casboult, Howe, Rampe, Dixon, Duryea, Ward, Ducan, Walters, Cox, Shiels, Howe

I'm just listing old people off, I have no idea! There's a bunch of Geelong/Collingwood names in there

 

[juss]

Richmond could have a few.

Martin - could conceivably retire, go to another club, or play another year or two at the Tigers.

Grimes - almost a certainty particularly as his fitness is now in question as is his spot in the best 22.

- given his age and injury history he probably calls time on this which was a last shot at an AFL career.

Mate Colina - he's only a Cat B rookie, but has struggled with back stress injuries and you wonder if he might just call it quits and go down another career path. Played college basketball so could look for a lower tier professional basketball league somewhere in the world.

 

[Orange crush]

Keeffe and probably Ward

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Hearing Nick Daicos is looking to retire at years’ end.

He’s done it all, is already the GOAT - so why tarnish the perfect record right?

Oh wait…

The contested mark thingy.

May go around again after all…

 

[Altum Volantes]

Sam Reid for the Swans

The guy retired in like 2017 but nobody has had the heart to tell him.

They’d give it to Pendlebury, Martin won’t show up to get it if he’s retired.

Goldstein, Boak, Hawkins, Tuohy, Walker, Zorko, Dangerfield, Sidebottom, Fyfe, Rohan, Martin, Lynch, Liba, Heppell, Pendlebury, Stanley, Breust, Casboult, Howe, Rampe, Dixon, Duryea, Ward, Ducan, Walters, Cox, Shiels, Howe

At the start of the year I thought it would be Zorko's last but he has been mostly having an excellent year off the HBF (maybe pushing AA squad sort of level). If he keeps that going I wouldnt surprise him trying for one more year to try for a last shot

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Brodie smith will be close for us. Milera but not due to age, Murphy same boat I guess and Sloane has.

Surprised Dixons name not been posted, should have retired already

Surely Walker and negative Board figures, Olson and Ricciuto

 

[hawkman]

Gunston may go around again. Breust has been carrying an injury all year and if he doesnt fix it quite likely will retire. But if he can get fit he may want to go again.

It comes down to who they would be keeping out of the team - which at the moment isnt really anyone.

You would think Lewis, Chol and Dear would be the talls going forward, would Gunston be still be worth a list space as a back up only and coach again?

Breust currently isn't in the 22 and may find it hard to get back in unless he finds good form

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Jamie Elliot </3

Jamie and Elliot?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Sidebottom and Howe most obvious for us.

Unfair on Sheezel, I can see him getting another year.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Good to see the wannabe comedians show up above
