Retired #31: Dustin Fletcher - Legend & VFL Assistant Coach

[Kakkle]

Hate the footy show. But Fletcher is up next.

 

[Ashton Agar]

does anyone have that collage of all of his yearly player photos in it?

I reckon Essendonia can help you with that one.

 

[GandalfTheDon]

Nothing but love for the gangly man.

Kick a goal for us pls Fletch

Did you get of the $40 thing?

I got on. Nice little novelty. Hopefully we sew it up early and Hirdy sends him to full forward!

Dammit, I missed out by seconds before it was suspended then pulled completely.

if Fletch kicks a goal late in the game and we're in front I reckon a chance the crowed will run on the field!!

Yeah sold out pretty quickly I think., probably only had a few hundred tickets. Was just lucky enough to have my phone in my hand as I saw it.

71 goals in his career suggests in simple terms he's about a 6/1 shot, so 39/1 is generous.

I'm still filthy - I literally missed out by seconds. I still hope he kicks a goal for everyone that got on though, even if it will sting a little

 

[Howard Moon]

[Beerfish]

Phil Walsh?

Yep.

 

[Howard Moon]

yep Walsh played for Collingwood, Richmond then won Brisbanes first ever B'nF it seems, (thanks google) so that makes him 88 retirer? looks younger!

Its Eade and Walsh

 

[expires]

Tuck was in a win in his 400th against North. Bartlett a loss against Collingwood.

Let's make it 2-1 for the 400 club then.

 

[Stopher]

Let's make it 2-1 for the 400 club then.

With Boomer to square the ledger later this season.

 

[Andronicus]

Let's make it 2-1 for the 400 club then.

With Harvey to even the ledger again later in the year.

[Despair]

I swear people are purposely tempting fate when they say "Dustin could have played 500 games if not for suspension/injury"

Can see us quoting those messages in 2021 for the lols.

 

[daffo]

It won't happen. This year has to be his last...
