Rumour Big Red retired.

[Braybrook Son]

Big Redpath has announced his retirement tonight. Was on ch7 news. Thanks to big Red for his great contribution to our club. Had 3-4 knee recos, only 27. Tried hard to make an impact. Will be remembered.

LOL. Two retirements this week. One was Never Forget, the other was Will be remembered.

Telling.

Good on you Jack loved watching you play. Happy Trails for life after footy

 

[Yojimbo]

This might be a bit premature as he still has a year to run on his contract, Redpath has had enough
and fair enough too with three reconstructions. We recruited three Bendigo Bombers that year and
also tried to rookie their captain, but took Brett Goodes instead. Shannon Grant stepped in when
our recruiting staff ran out of ideas, Bendigo Bombers finished last that year in the VFL.

Some great games to remember. 2015 in particular. He got a profile with the TV stations: "the Wood Chopper" - great stuff, he earned it.

 

[Leviticus]

If only Tom Boyd and Billy Gowers could learn to lead like Big Red "the Wood Chopper" did. Redpath was brilliant on the lead.

 

[Allan Shorty]

Say it ain’t so, Red. Only the injuries kept you down. Thanks for your work.

 

[Leviticus]

Actually, Redpath for Forward Coach. He'd do a good job and support the Coach.

Always sad when a bloke doesn’t get to fulfill his potential due to injuries.

Really looked like he could make it in that lead up role in 2015 & 2016.

Seems a pretty switched on bloke that has been preparing for this for a long time. Good luck to him.

 

[Dogsman16]

Don’t even care that some my say I’m overreacting.

I’m pretty sad that Red is retiring. His knees prevented him from a long career and pretty bad timing to miss out on our legendary finals tilt.

Felt as though he made team mates walk taller and loved to smash dickheads like Phil Davis.

Going to be missed.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Apparently hugely popular with teammates, so much so they were genuinely ticked off when he wasn’t getting a go early 2016.

Could have been a premiership player but either way he got a lot out of himself considering where he came from.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Actually, Redpath for Forward Coach. He'd do a good job and support the Coach.

Couldn’t be worse than Ash Hansen!

 

[Leviticus]

Couldn’t be worse than Ash Hansen!

He'd be better, he played for us, like Bevo has.

 

[ossie_21]

Whilst he wasn’t going to be the god sent full forward everyone craves, we looked so much better in the forward line when he was in it, directly impacting the game or not

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Never like it when the media leak out a players retirement. Prefer to hear it from the players themselves.

Wish Redpath all the best for the future. He’s had a really rough run with injuries of course, 36 games isn’t enough. Seems like he’s really loved by the group and he’ll be missed.

All the best Red. Feel safer when you were out there.

Always a popular player. Going to a bit quieter in the locker room next year

Thread is premature at best, incorrect at worst.

At the moment, this is another Tom Browne rumour, not a fact.

Says he is "set" to retire, not that he actually has retired. Rumour being presented as fact.

"There is a bit to play out".

How many of Tom Browne's "exclusives" actually turn out to be correct?

He most certainly has not announced his retirement. Might want to get your story straight mate, this is a rumour not a fact.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

Sad to see him go . I liked big red

Injuries have killed his career

 

[Sharkey66]

Nothing on the club website about it.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

Bev all but confirmed it in his presser today.

Rubbished the claims he isn't happy. Was quite adamant it was the opposite.

Well, I took it wrong. No need to get your jocks in a knot buddy

Sad about Red, but good on Bevo for sticking it to the peanut gallery that is the media. The idea that an otherwise functioning footballer would retire rather than seek a trade simply because he was unhappy at a particular club is so preposterous, it should have cost someone their job.

Bev also seemed genuinely regretful that Biggs is going, sounded as if he enjoyed having him around the club.
