Rory Atkins has retired. 101 games for AFC. Thanks.

Good on him for sucking some post retirement cash out of Port.

Well done Rat. I didn’t mind this bloke despite him being soft and a downhill skier. Not many picks in the 80s this century play over 100 games and his skills were never the issue. Had some good games in 2017

Always liked him. Skilful player, great kick when we didn’t have many. Not tough, but he was outside so I could forgive him. Old fashioned ratbag. I wish him well.

More likely the Armourguard Van from the Parade.

I loved prime RAT. A bit like prime Jaensch. They both had their moments, and I enjoyed seeing them play well

We’re ordering a bigger one

Bit of a downhill skier but he was fun to watch when we were beating up on opposition teams in 2017.

We'll always have the blonde hair and his getting stuck into the port supporters in the banana showdown to remember him by

 

[Jcpdragonx]

He's better than their shit half backs apart from Rozee

I remember liking him when he first started playing for us. Unfortunately he was a bit of a one-trick pony whose trick got figured out pretty quickly.

He was one of the few decent finds from our draft sanction years. Charlie Cameron

doesn't count since we had to trade to get that pick.

101 games for us, maybe we'll get a father-son pick out of him one day?

 

[LiquidCrow]

Always liked Atkins. Ended up with 140 games across three clubs, which isn't bad for pick 81.

Then there was this goal and the infamous wink...

Atkins nominated for Goal of the Year

Rory Atkins has received his first Goal of the Year nomination for his amazing snap against Brisbane at Adelaide Oval

You’re a big boy

He keeps telling us that!

 

[Redleg Crow]

Congrats to RAt - got everything out of his career. Pick 81 was a steal for us.

He also was one of the first to really benefit from us having an SANFL side.

 

[Samcro24]

Why oh why were we denied a send off game in the showdown?

Think of the lols.

 

[CrowToon]

If the average punter was offered RAT's career they'd take it 10 times out of 10.

If the avge AFL player was offered it, they would too

 

[Redleg Crow]

He really speaks well. Coach material, I suspect…

 

[1970crow]

Suns will be posting the exact same, except swapping ‘Rory’ for ‘Port’.
