Brent Staker retires

[AFLQLD]

Well done on the career Stakes. Always gave his best, even as his body let him down near the end. An honest, honourable career by a decent bloke.

Onya stakes bloody good clubman and injuries made it hard to show us your best consistantly !

Thanks mate

 

[alscotoz2]

meh.

 

[SizeMatters]

Stakes still strutting around like a bachelor of the year nominee? He seemed to hit some good form just prior to his nomination sinking the Bombers with 'that kick'.

 

[Kevvo]

Well done Stakes. He had a tough trot with injury and persisted. Not the dream football career, but he had some good stretches.

Thanks Stakes and have enjoyed the games you did get out on the park. Unfortunately the injuries got the best of you but had they not you would of been fantastic at the Lions!!!

Pretty sure he's getting Burton's job based on some info received.

Really? His job or just part of the fitness team? I could see the latter but struggle to see the former. Surely we wouldn't go down the path of appointing someone our high performance manager without any prior role in even a junior position. Seems a bit ludicrous. Any chance you may have misinterpreted this western royboy ?

 

[SizeMatters]

Staker as fitness boss? We are a rabble...

Yeah, that's not right.

[Last of the Roys]

Perhaps he can be our rehab specialist?

 

[SizeMatters]

Perhaps he can be our rehab specialist?

Sounds about right. I know he was super professional when it came to things inside the gym.

 

[ColdWarWarrior]

I know he has done a lot of work with the reserves and as a mentor for the younger brigade, apparently he is staying on with the club is some capacity, just like Jamie Charman.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Will he get a final game against the dogs?

 

[Skoob]

Will he get a final game against the dogs?

Wouldn't think so, not much point.
Was chaired off after today's reserves game.

Glad they gad a win then.

 

[Elixuh]

Staker in the team. Least he gets a farewell game.

 

[luthor]

Staker in the team. Least he gets a farewell game.

Wonder what condition he's in after that "farewell" after the Reserves game?

 

[James North]

Very good of Stakes to come out of retirement for this game.

 

[Big Lion]

Decent player cut down by injuries seems a nice bloke too.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Will kick the winning goal.

Hey just wanted to say that I really felt for Staker doing his hammy in warm-up. Terrible luck, he deserved so much better. Must be quite deflating, especially seeing they won. I think he will be remembered as a decent footballer and a good clubman at both WCE and Brisbane
