Congrates Fletch

[BOMBERSG8]

AFL Life Membership -- Dustin Fletcher, Essendon. Dustin qualifies for automatic AFL Life Membership with his 300th official game since his debut in 1993, comprising 273 premiership games, 22 pre-season games and four International Rules games.

He is truley a great. My best memory of him is not one but hundreds of last secound punch before a forward takes a mark. Also when he has a shot on goal. What are your best Flecth moments.

His monster goal against the Saints this year would be up there.

Agered great goal.

 

[Merv]

Fantastic player and has been the backbone of our defense for 14 years so far.

Will be a sad day when he is gone

 

[windyhill]

Irrepalceable. I will cry when he gives it up.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

What a gun.

The best thing about him is how stupid he makes opposition supporters look when they invariably underrate how good he is

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Superstar.

 

[jhgoat]

his spoil against west coast in the last seconds of the game that went out of bounds, narrowly missing the points. that was fantastic

 

[Philzsay]

And to think if he didn't decide to play school footy instead of matching up against Alister Lynch back in '93 he could have received this membership a week earlier!!

My lasting memory of Fletch was in the '93 Grand Final when the ball went to Kernahan for the first time and Fletch got his long lanky hand to come over the top and punch the ball to the boundary line.

And of course his long kick out which started the infamous Michael Long Goal...

All great signs of things to come!!!

Has been the backbone for essendon for 14 years and will continue to be.

The little things he does week in week out are what essendon are going to lack in the future.

The day he retires will be a very sad day.

[ParisBoy.]

I thought i said that

Yeah you did but he hasn't been the backbone of the defense, he's been the backbone of the whole team

 

[Bomber4eva]

Yeah you did but he hasn't been the backbone of the defense, he's been the backbone of the whole team

Gotta agree, absolute champ, hate to think where we'd be without him.
