Toast Shannon Hurn - Retiring End Of 2023

[Shuestar13]

Shuey perhaps
What a shame Norf are such a rabble. Would be nice if they were to somehow beat the Bombers, a chance for a final derby win for Hurn and Boots would be something!

Are we to read anything into the subtle tap on Nic’s shoulder by Bunga as he walked past on his way into the presser? Could we see another high profile retirement soon?

Tomorrow

I’m going to guess it’s Nic

The Insta post announcing his partner is having a 2nd baby shows she’s a fair way along and no one would blame him for deciding that rehabbing a ruptured Achilles to get maybe one more season is too much hard work with 2 younguns to help raise

Are you you 100% sure this time or is this gonna end up like you last call of Hewett being sent for scans

Who says he didn't get scans?

Credit where it’s due

Hurn was a champion. So good that he just got forgotten about (as supporters) until he made a mistake, which was about twice a season, just because it stood out so much.

He just always delivered, played taller than he was with relative ease and good luck contesting a ground ball that he was going after, he'd just run straight through you.

Honestly can't think of a better drop punt exponent that has played for the Eagles. He didn't just drill it hard and low, unless he needed to, he did whatever was required to get the ball to the player. He could chip it into a pocket 45 metres away, just over the reach of defenders.

Absolute weapon, good contested defender and a club champion.

50 goals

Eagles games record holder
2 x All Australian

Just an understated, calm and brilliant Capitan who led by example all time, never shirked the contest, superb skills and a brilliant footy IQ. 3 club greats are now retired

My feels are feeling after that.

 

[LittleFires]

Never seen Bung emotional like that. That got the eyes a little wet. Worried I'm going to be a bit of a mess after the game on Saturday.

 

[Chris_6678]

Media team been on fire this week with the content for Hurn, Nic nat & Shuey.

 

[The Passenger]

Those videos were awesome!!

What do we reckon about Hurn as a sneaky chance for the VFL/AFL Hall of Fame? Premiership captain, dual All-Australian (one captain's blazer) and 300 games under his belt... I reckon there are "weaker" resumes in there for sure.

 

[MrPenguin]

Yep been fantastic.
