Prediction Players likely to retire at/by years end

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Ryan Griffen

I think the club will want him to play on and make an offer. He wasn't hung ho about it when asked before his 250th, so maybe.

 

[Suma Magic]

Mackenzie likely to retire. Due to chronic injury issues.

LeCras slightly more likely to retire than go on.

Jetta maybe some chance to retire.

Our other old guys (Hurn, Kennedy, Schofield) are all contracted for another year or two.

 

[DaveLister]

+ Spurr

DP, Spurr and Johnno are 100% retired.

Mundy stays on.

Ballas and Sandi up in the air.

Of course.
I mentally retired Spurr at the end of last year so with his injury I just forgot he existed

 

[The Nostradamus]

Does the leagues oldest player Burgoyne go on next year?

Reckon Barlow retires

 

[Joao]

Reckon Barlow retires

Sadly I agree

 

[The Nostradamus]

Sadly I agree

Rischitelli is another from the suns who would probably retire
him and barlow

 

[HolyRioli]

Does the leagues oldest player Burgoyne go on next year?

Reckon Barlow retires

Before his pair of hamstring injuries this year, I'd have said Burgoyne 100% goes on. Now I've dialled it down to about 80% chance. Is still playing good football and hasn't lost too much of his athleticism.

From the Hawks, Rioli has obviously already retired. Birchall has barely played the last two seasons, and may consider it.

Roughead I think has one more season in him.

I think Burgoyne said he wants to go on again recently but I feel like he should retire this year.

 

[Burtman]

I think Burgoyne said he wants to go on again recently but I feel like he should retire this year.

He’s been pretty bloody good these last couple of weeks. I’m sure it wouldn’t be a huge contract if he goes around next year and I’d still rather a 36 yr old silk than a Langford, duryea or obrien who are still getting gigs in our team

 

[flashmanvc]

Burgoyne can still find that extra gear to run away from chasing opponents. Total freak.

But yeah, pinging two hammies is a worry at his age.

burgoyne signed a new deal, im surprised, good on him tho

 

[The Nostradamus]

Rosa retired

Barlow and risch I'd expect to retire from suns also

 

[Tyruddanaut]

burgoyne signed a new deal, im surprised, good on him tho

Hes it enough to go around again, a bit like Kade Simpson will

 

[The Nostradamus]

Lee Spurr retired

 

[Mofra]

Still played some very good football forward of the ball this year?
I'd imagine he plays one more year on a reduced contract.

I'm not even sure his value will reduce. If he offers the bean counters will jump at it I'm sure, but I dont think he should.
He's playing some great footy forward this year.
It's just when he was interviewed about longevity prior to his 250th he said from memory

" I dunno it gets harder, with the young guys more challenging every year"

I could be reading too much into it, but he seemed like he was considering it in his own mind.

 

[Ticky009]

Nick smith seems an odd one l, feel like he has at least another year or 2

Smith has already triggered a contract clause that will see him at the Swans next year. He’s no going anywhere.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Apparently Goddard wants to play on lol

 

[Bostonian]

Alex Silvagni

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Not convinced Waite retires, depends on last month. Scott Thompson's had a great year too, could go on.

 

[The Nostradamus]

So Goddard and Vince done?

They are 2 I thought would retire even before the injuries

 

[exxcessivve]

Heath Shaw? I may be remembering wrong, but didn't GWS suggest he should "consider his future" last October? I hope he keeps playing.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Blair will retire and Oxley will be cut.

Will be interesting to see how Clllingwood manage the perennially injured but contracted Reid and Wells. Goldsack has said he wants to play even if it’s for free next year so will probably be rookied if available to select.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Alex Johnson?

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

Nah
That was Mummy. Heater was originally contracted to the end if this year. His contract was extended a year quietly a year among credible reports the club extended and backended ha contract to free up cash to keep Kelly this year.

It's possible he might decide the injury is a sign, he's 32. I doubt it though and cant see the club pushing him.
