Love Plow. Great resigning. Culture!!!

 

[Juddernaut08]

I remember watching his highlights as a junior and from memory this is exactly how he played.

How long ago were you a junior?

All the best, Lachie. Copped a bit from fans sometimes, but always played with passion. Seems like a good person, and wish him all the best for whatever lies ahead.

Thank you for all you did for the Blues Plow. I hope that he can look past all the arsehole supporters that abused him over the years, I remember a time when Plowman not playing meant a guaranteed 50+ point loss.

Hopefully in 20 years time we see another Plow playing for us in the AFL or AFLW

 

[SurreyBlue]

Thanks for everything Lach. You‘ve been a real soldier. Good luck with your future.

Thinking of you in this hard time Mr_Plow ❤

Really sad to see the club disabled comments on twitter. This bloke copped way more than he deserved and from all reports was a great team person.

Was there for the dark days. Thanks Plow.

Thinking of you in this hard time Mr_Plow ❤

Dreaded this day for a long time, and it has really come far too soon...

A soldier during some of our darkest times, will miss you Lachie.

 

[BlueJet]

Stood some dangerous opponents behind an at times defensively porous midfield/half back line, an unenviable task if there ever was one.
Congrats on your career & all the best wherever life takes you next.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Congrats on the career Plow, 145 games…
Been a great soilder for the club during a really tough period over the years…
Well done

Not enough love for Plow

 

[BlueGum]

Thanks Plow. Enjoy your retirement from footy. Really appreciated your contributions to making us better.

 

[BlueShift]

Never deserved the stupid amount of hate he got from some of the "supporter" base. Had his flaws but gave it his all during our darkest of days, while under the spotlight in a tough position.

Well done and thank you for your efforts in the navy blue.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

Played plenty of tough roles through plenty of tough times.
Can I say he didn’t frustrate me at times, definitely not.
But he served the club and us supporters diligently for 10 years across nearly 150 games. Always gave his all, never ever dropped his head.
Fantastic servant of the club.
All the best Plow.

Thank you Mr. Plow

A magnificent Clubman during a period that we desperately needed them.

Had some absolute blinders against some of the best forwards in the competition.

As maligned as he consistently was, he was important in helping us get through some really bad years and I for one and grateful for that.

Thanks Mr Plow

 

[Blue and Blue]

He gave us all he had and exceeded his limits.
Good on you Lachie, a true blue.

 

[Jabba73]

Got the best out of himself and covered more gaps than he was ever given credit for. Spent plenty of time in here defending him from those looking for a scapegoat and don’t regret a second of it.

For the final time :

Not enough love for Plowman

[Stig O'Hara]

Always loved Plow.

When he was good, he was real good.

Played on talls, smalls, didn’t matter.

Shame after all the years he kept it together down back, he wasn’t there at the end.

Wish him the best.

Ed: loved his hair.

I am shocked that the club has had to disable comments on his retirement notice.
I think probably nearly all of us at times have directed frustration at players and said things about them that we wouldn't dare say to their face. I now make sure all my comments are those that I'd be pleased for the player to hear. I think players are under immense scrutiny. In no other job are you weekly scrutinised to within an inch of your life by your friends, family and broader public. They get paid good money of course, but I don't see that this justifies ruthless tear downs.
It would be good to think Carlton could become a place where supporters prop up rather than pull down its players.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Plow always got the tough jobs in the hard days, sometimes he got flogged, sometimes he won them, but he always gave 100% The pity was that he hasn't been on the radar whilst we came good, but that's like life, it will go on after our demise, that sun will come up tomorrow. 145 games don't just happen at this level, bravo Plow a job very well done!!
