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

[Ned_Flanders]

Done.

Liked it, but didn't

He has played for the club every game for the past two years. Compare that to a flog who is playing next year to beat an individual record

He deserved a game, genuinely sad for the bloke that it couldn't happen

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Going to miss Dusty

Bizarre comment. Boomer absolutely deserves to go around next year, record or no record.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

A promising career cut tragically short.

Didn't say it didn't deserve it, just think fletch deserved it more because he wasn't playing to achieve any personal record, it's always been about the team with him

I did hear that this year was more about getting him to 400 than anything else. Still a shame that there will be no 401.

 

[Howard Moon]

cant they just play him from row 1? - he could still reach a few punchs from there

 

[Pweter]

This makes me genuinely sad. I'm nudging 39 years old and this bloke was playing when I was in year 12. Amazing longevity in an amazing career.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

I started genuinely supporting the Bombers in 1993 - especially after the GF win. I literally haven't supported the Bombers without him on the list.

Very sad day. Love you Fletch!

He's not that old

 

[Autobahn]

There goes the Nab Rising Star Award

 

[Marley10]

Can't he play one last game as sub? It's not like our season is in the balance. We only need his arms anyways

 

[ManWithNoName]

The presser is just standing next to Sheeds. Would be an odd way to announce his retirement. Usually that's a sit down presser.

 

[Howard Moon]

Hes his own man, no fanfare, lick a chocolate paddle pop and get it done

Was around in the era of the Barney Banana

 

[Fear Boner]

Not like this fletch

 

[Doss]

He's missed a fair bit of footy over the years but still, it's going to be weird knowing he's finally done for good.

Congratulations, Fletch; you're a champion of this club and the game.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Why are y'all acting like he's announced his retirement?

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

said he hasn't made up his mind yet, maybe an announcement next week. He's hoping to play next week.

 

[Doss]

*sheepish*

 

[Beerfish]

Ima jus change that thread title back if y'all don't mind..

[Philzsay]

So your telling me that Footy Classified got it wrong? What a surprise
