Which player will be the "should have retired last season" player this year?

[Tulip]

I reckon expectations on Pav will be way down. Should chip in a couple of goals a game with the understanding that he won't be going much further than the forward 50 at all times.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Firrito but he should have retired a year or 2 ago.

 

[Scotland]

Retirements and delistings were harsh this year.

Guys like Scott McMahon, Tom Logan, Brent Staker, Tony Armstron etc. who seemed to just hang around forever without really playing all finished up at once.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Firrito but he should have retired a year or 2 ago.

Clueless comment. His last 2 years have been his best.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Wont be winning flags with players like Firrito as key parts of your back 6....

 

[Spook]

Hopefully Luke hodge and Sam Mitchell

They probably will because Holding a cup in 1 hand and then holding up 6 fingers is impossible.

Get some Tassie fans to assist?

 

[Kram]

Brent Harvey.

 

[Silvagnis]

Pav would've retired if the club wasn't a chance for the flag.

McPharlin retired with his chances for a flag...

Judd, Fletcher, Kernahan and Diesel all went out on a low after thinking they had something to play for.

I think Brent Harvey. Will get a few niggles in pre-season and will struggle to overcome them. Will probably get nursed through to the games record then retire

I want Pavlich to have a huge year, so much hate. He's capable of it. Looked sore this year.

What hate? A couple of nuff nuffs aside almost everyone nominating him thinks it will be a shame he goes out on a low rather than retiring still a good player.

 

[Xtreme]

Pavlich

He should have retired at the end of 2014 though. Fremantle are dragging him down.

 

[Hellgood]

Ultimate verdict? Pavlich (as much as we love him) and Winderlich seem the obvious ones at this stage. Just never got going.

I reckon expectations on Pav will be way down. Should chip in a couple of goals a game with the understanding that he won't be going much further than the forward 50 at all times.

I'm confused. So Pavlich should have retired at the end of 2014, but will be valuable in 2016? Surely he was pretty valuable in 2015 going by that criteria!

 

[gungho]

People saying Pav is selfish and should have retired are really missing the point. He was basically begged to play for another year by the administration, coach, president, and supporters. We are still in a premiership window (at least the club thinks so) He will draw the best defender, and he kicked 40 goals last year, but, most importantly, he is still our best bloody tall forward.

 

[Dacksaredown]

Stevie J.
Scott Thompson.
Ted Richards.
Bob Murphy.
Aaron Sandilands.
Brendan Goddard (maybe).
Drew Petrie.

I think you've misunderstood me. Pavlich the mercurial key forward went on one season too long. Pavlich the role-playing forward target still has another season in him. He won't be the same player as he was 2014 and before, but he's still talented enough to put in a shift.

Stevie J.

Like Chapman, I was really hoping he would call it a day, it's not like he has anything left to prove.

 

[Rod Stroker]

It's not about having anything left to prove. It's about having anything left to give. And he does.

We get it. You hate North.

Wishing that he gets injured in the pre-season.... stay classy.

Matthew Priddis

Underrated post tbh.

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Hopefully Hodge. A sniper, a thug and a drink driver. He really is a disgrace.

Can't be a disgrace if you're a four time premiership player and you win the hardball.

[Cynic]

Don't get the Steve Johnson nominations. He's going for a pay day not success over GWS so playing on seems the right call.

 

[Philosrog]

Wayne Carey should have retired by now.
