Vanders
Smith
Dixon
Crawf
For mine, it'd be,
Vanders - 2009
Crawf - 2032 (2011)
Dixon - 2008
Smith - 2008
J Smith - 2008
B Dixon - 2007
R Vandenburg - 2008
S Crawford - 2010
Smith - 2008
Vanders - 2008
Dicko - 2008
Crawf - 2010
Dixon & Vandenberg will want to play in 2008, but I only see room for 1.
Smith will be end of 2009n (maybe 2008 if he decli es a bit to much) .
Crawf will be end of 2010, but could go longer if he wanted to. Winning a flag could also change things.

J Smith - 2008
Will finish off a great season and play at least 1 more
B Dixon - 2007
The forward line is too potent and promising. He is slowing down alot now, and injury concerns will squeeze him out.
R Vandenburg - 2008
Will try to play a full season next year, but I think his body might not be able to hold up. If this is the case, retirement will be his only option.
S Crawford - 2009
We will go back to back 2008 and 2009, Crawf will retire with 2 flags. :thumbsu:

Agree with all of those predictions except Vandenburg. I think he will call it quits at the end of the year. So hopefully he can get back soon.

Clarke 2007
HAHAHAHA!
25 and retired in his best year yet! Lol......
Smith - 08
Dixon - 08
Crawf - 09/10
Vanders - 09
Thurgood - 06 (should have been!)
J Smith - 2008
B Dixon - 2007/8
R Vandenburg - 2008
S Crawford - 2009
He is an absolute star and a great legend of our club but shane is 33 in two months and the oldest player at the club by 2.5years, I hate to say it but with our fast emerging pacey side, they will have to carry him to much if he was to play 2010 and beyond (he will be 36 in 2010)
hope he proves me wrong
crawf - 2010
hopefully smith can continue his recent form, id like to see him play a bit longer as he's been one of my favourite players for a long time, but he probably won't play past 2008
dixon - 2007
vanders - 2009

Dixon-delist at end of season.
Smith and Vandenberg will play until the end of 2009.
Crawford will play until we win a premiership. He will play another season though if we win it this season.
