Toast Lenny Hayes

[Hammers_Saints]

Thought the great man deserved his own thread but just had it confirmed that this will be his last year. Hopefully we can win one to send him off the right way.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere been overseas the last 4 weeks haven't been reading BF

Took my young bloke to see him play yesterday pleased he got to see him play. Lenny is my all time favourite Saint - plays the game the way it should be.

Has this been confirmed?

 

[Nutsngum]

Yeah Ive googled it and cant find anything about him definitely retiring on any site or twitter?

Confirmed by who?

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

Nooooooooooooooo.

Not unexpected though i guess if true.

 

[bird_man]

What is your source for this?

 

[Hammers_Saints]

Source from someone inside the club, obviously won't say who but it's definite.

No idea when it'll be announced, probably soon though id assume.

Richo also hinted at it on the footy show this morning as well

 

[bird_man]

Sad news, I was hoping he could go one more and his form is good enough. Obviously his body and mind couldn't handle another season.

 

[Defacto]

i'm not ready for this

seriously think i might just call in sick to work this week. bereavement leave

 

[aussierulesrules]

Boo if true.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Lets Be honest we all knew it would be the final stand.

 

[Manimal_Dunstan]

I wonder if we will send him off at our last home game against the dogs? wouldn't want to send him off in radelaide at our last game for the year.

 

[Plugger35]

Sad news if true, would've loved him to go on one more year but can understand if he wants to call it quits at his age and with the battering he's copped over the years.

Hopefully he stays on as an assistant coach next year.

[saintsrfreak]

Will definitely have to get down to his last game

Lenny <3

 

[saintkildaman]

This sucks. Ball, Hayes, Goddard, Dal all gone. The Saints I've grown up with is just about gone.

 

[Plugger_87]

Very depressing that the great man will leave without a flag yet hack maxwell is a premiership captain. His game in the drawn grand final epitomises everything about him. Sometimes the pain i feel for the lost grannys is more for him roo and co. Lifes a btch sometimes

 

[Hayes4PM]

If Lenny retires and CJ stays on another year I might just lose my mind.

 

[Persevering Saint]

At most, we have seven more opportunities to witness Lenny.

Seven is not a big number, unless it's on his back.

 

[The Punter]

Small chance it's this week against Freo, right? Ross in attendance, not getting that close to 300, give a young bloke a chance for the rest of the year?

Any chance Dunstan can wear the number for the rest of the year a la Xavier Clarke in 2003?

 

[joop]

Hunter Hayes countdown begins.

6,205 days to go!

 

[From 45]

A part of me just died..

 

[Bailey01]

Congrats Lenny true champion

 

[holllywood]

Congrats Lenny true champion

We trust the AFC to do the right thing and tell the AFL that our round 23 clash should become a St.Kilda home game so that we can send him off properly in his last game. And then for you to play your most inexperienced team available, ensuring he goes out on a high.
