Preview Likely retirees 2024

[The Nostradamus]

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

I doubt lynch retires unless his injury ends up being worst than first thought

Good to see the wannabe comedians show up above

There an echo in here?

[harper2bastinac]

Shiels and greenwood

 

[Schauermann]

Walters ?.

Not too sure of his contract status.

Signed for next year as well. But should probably retire based on current form.

 

[Lingsface]

Gaff Darling B Crouch Lyon

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Keath, Duryea for the Dogs.

If Libba stays fit he'll be going round' again.

 

[terrybull]

Grimes and Prestia

 

[Dazb86]

Keath, Duryea for the Dogs.

If Libba stays fit he'll be going round' again.

Strangely Keath has made a bit of a resurgeance this year.

 

[Cleansweep17]

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

Hmm we’ll see. I highly doubt they won’t give it to the best finals player ever. And he has more flags which is taken into account.

I’d probably rate Hawkins career better than Pendles too tbh.

 

[ioppolo]

Gaff for sure. OOC and hasn't been near the side since being dropped after round 1. Darling will definitely go around again. Has had a mini resurgence since about round 5. Sheed might get the tap too, he's only playing due to injuries atm.

2025/26 when Yeo/McGovern/Cripps & possibly Barrass all go is going to be tough for the club as they're far and away our best players each week.

[Ed_Gein]

Maybe Fyfe, Libba, Parker to name a few

Parker won't retire, he is only 31 and still contracted for next year.

 

[Nicho50]

Hawkins has been one of the best full forwards in the history of the game certainly in modern times anyway but he clearly went on a season to long.

The game has changed, there’s no space for forwards to lead into any more. I know you get the rare occasion they do get space but it’s not often you see a key forward take a contested mark on a lead like the 90s.

Toms one of the last genuine footballers left rather than the robotic athletes these days.

 

[longdonkey]

3 guys are cooked by Round 10

Hawkins
Dixon
Walker

 

[FreoGirl]

Son Son

I think we can squeeze another season out of Fyfe

[The Nostradamus]

Does dusty retire after game 300 in a fortnight?

 

[Sirlemsip]

2 that haven’t been named yet

David swallow and Chad wingard

Wingard is contracted to the end of 2024, but his gradual return in the VFL over the last month has looked promising and he's still only 30.

If he can get back into the seniors and be fit at seasons end, we would probably offer another 1 year contract at minimum.

If Breust does hang up the boots this year, we would 100% keep Wingard around (assuming he is fit and wants to play on).

Chad seems to have a couple of good seasons left in him

 

[SaintSlayer]

Wouldn't be surprised if Tim Membrey and/or Seb Ross check out

If the Saints make a decision on Seb Roos don’t be surprised if he’s not picked up by another premier Melb club.

Toms one of the last genuine footballers left rather than the robotic athletes these days.

This is his last year but he is still value to the team because teams still put a gun defender on him - due to reputation.

 

[Holden Megroin]

Cox
Elliot
Sidebottom
Howe

Pendles ??

 

[Lingsface]

Hamling surely?

 

[Lingsface]

Son Son

I think we can squeeze another season out of Fyfe

He played quite well on the weekend, let him play on!

 

[masai tu]

Hamling surely?

Has a 2 season contract.

Turning out to be a big loss for Freo, we should have tried harder to keep him, ......
