Players you hated to see retire?

[General Soreness]

Simon Prestigiacomo, James Clement, and Robert Harvey. I wish that I could name some players whose careers were contained within the last century, but I just didn't get attached to them as I just didn't get to see enough VFL/AFL over that time period.

 

[Looney]

Clement retiring was devastating. One of the most underrated players I've ever seen.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Max Bailey

 

[Quokka]

Another one for Harvey, felt like the end of an era more than any other player.

From Freo Roger Hayden and Justin Longmuir (only months older than Pavlich and Mcpharlin and something like 7 years retired... and we're still looking for that ruck/forward).

 

[DerpWerls]

+1 for Richo, matured like a bottle of Grange

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Tim Boyle. Never got a proper run at it due to injuries. When he did play he showed he was good enough to be a great foil for Buddy and Roughie.

 

[Bloods]

Plugger - both times.

 

[Gydafud]

Max Rooke for me. Still felt he had so much more to give. Every teams needs a wildman.
