Emotional farewell for Rama

Retiring club champion, Adam Ramanauskas, will be remembered for his ability to rise from adversity - both in his personal health and his on-field capacity - according to former team-mate, Paul Barnard. Having played with ‘Rama’ in the 2000 Premiership, Barnard says the then 19-year old had talent to burn.
“In his first year he played in a reserves Premiership and the next year in a seniors night and day premiership,” Barnard said.
“Not many other people can say they have done that. In his day, when he was up and going, he was as good as anyone. He was a very effective midfielder come half back.
“There was a bracket of them in 2000 including Rama, Mark and Jason Johnson and Dean Solomon. Those guys played a pivotal role. The football they played was the difference between us being a really good side and an outstanding side.”
On Sunday afternoon, Ramanauskas will join Jason Johnson, Damien Peverill and Mal Michael in their final games for the club.
“I think the proudest people there will be his wife, mum and dad and close family because they have been through the entire ride with Rama,” Barnard said.
“The credit has to go to his wife. She is an outstanding person and he has been a really good support. His family will be the ones with a tear in their eye.”
Barnard said Rama was very cheeky when he first came to the club but that he could back it up. More often than not Barnard was the target of his pranks.
“If Adam got bored he would start on a few of us that he knew we had a short fuse but he had a lot of pranks played on him too,” Barnard laughed.
“He doesn’t give away too much though. He wouldn’t tell us much when he got sick but that is the sort of guy he is. He never told us much and he never complained. He never said ‘why me’?
“You have to remember he is still young, only 27, and most people in professional life only get going in their mid 30’s so he has plenty of scope to find a new career after football.
“What he has experienced during 10-years at the club is incredible - he has certainly packed a lot into those years and it has certainly been a ride.”
While the Bombers won’t play in finals this year, the season has finished at a frantic pace. Last week the club announced Samsung as the new major sponsor from 2009 and thanked 3 mobile for eight great years.
The club has also announced that Damien Peverill, Andrew Lee, Danny Chartres, Dean Dick and Courtney Johns would not be offered new contracts and Jason Johnson, Mal Michael and Ramanauskas would retire.
Essendon play St Kilda at the Dome on Sunday and the club is hoping for a full-house.
