Kepler Bradley annouces retirement.

[holy diver]

Fremantle/Essendon enigma Kepler Bradley has announced his retirement.


He Sold Candy to Chris Judd...


Highlights of season 2011.


Unfortunately the knee injury has gotten the better of him.

Made a career with the ability to run like an awkward drunk T-1000 model Terminator. Still, he wasn't a bad kick for goal.

Haters will hate, but you won't get many Kepler Bradley's these days.

I would put up some Essendon tribute vids but I havent been able to find any...

He was still playing??

That's a damn shame. Had a lot of time for Kepler. Always gave his all, both at Essendon and Freo.

Best of luck to him in retirement.

Kepler's knee (anterior cruciate) went last season and that unfortunately has been the end of his AFL career. Still playing for Peel Thunder.

He owes his career to sheeds.

 

[Zerg]

Best of luck in the future Kep.

 

[ManWithNoName]

He owes his career to sheeds.

Remember when Sheeds made him bulk up and tried to play him as a CHB?

That was a terrible decision.

 

[holy diver]

He owes his career to sheeds.

Sheeds certainly loved him.

Thing is Kepler at his best was rather good. As a utility player he was able to improve his chances of being picked.

We love him in Freoland.

 

[HolyRioli]

Always a fan of the Kep, and always sad to see a players career terminated by injury.

 

[Plugger35]

Like LRT he was ungainly but effective and a likeable character too, a shame his career has been cut short by injury.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Sad day for everyone who loved watching the big guy play.

 

[La Vache]

I think he's actually been slightly missed by Freo, he became a pretty handy forward with the added lift a cult figure gives a side when he drills a sausage roll.

I will however never forget the night Sheedy decided to play him on Richo. It was absolute carnage.

 

[Blues_Man]

He was twice the player at Freo than at Essendon, I guess he was one of those late maturing players . Had a decent career considering his Injuries.

First LRT,then Kepler.

R.I.P Unco footballers

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I'm surprised. I thought he'd already retired.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Thought he went years ago.

First LRT,then Kepler.

[holy diver]

His goal kicking ability was certainly his strength...


Speaking on his retirement.

 

[Kram]

He owes his career to sheeds.

Sheeds iirc was always supportive of the big guy but played him completely out of position back in defence.

 

[blueboy25]

The sooner he leaves Peel Thunder and returns to his spiritual home of West Perth the better.

Haters will hate, but you won't get many Kepler Bradley's these days.

Thanks Gary . . . but why?

 

[holy diver]

Thanks Gary . . . but why?

Gary?

 

[Ron The Bear]

Remember when Sheeds made him bulk up and tried to play him as a CHB?

That was a terrible decision.

Richo thanks Sheeds very much.

Gary?
