Craig Bradley - should he or shouldn't he??

[HBF]

Now that Braddles has returned from Ireland, he has a rather big decision to make. Should he play next year.

Whats the feeling out there in Carlton land. I personally think that he should hang up the boots. He's got no more to prove and why not go out on top. The last game he played against the Power was a corka!!

He also got carried off the groung in the international rules game, which may or may not mean anything!!

Trade him to St Kilda like you used to do with all your old players in the 1980's.

I will go by whatever Braddles decides. Part of me wants to see how long he can go on (so long as he is still playing well). Part of me wants to see him have a proper farewell unlike Sticks and SOS. Part of me wants to see him erase the memory of 2002. Part of me wants to see more room on the veterans list and in the salary cap. Part of me wants to see the Blues look to the future. I will NEVER be one to say "Braddles, thanks but we don't need you anymore."

I reckon he should play on, just for one more year.

Experience is very valuable, and he will provide it to the youngsters. Remember Round 11 this year against Geelong? Who do you think inspired the whole team? And Kouta is elgible for the veterans list in 2004, right? He also might reach the magical 400 mark, barring any injuries.

Whatever his decision is, I'll gladly accept.

I want him to play on. A champion like Braddles deserves to go out on a winning season, which the club may be able to produce in 2003 with some luck with injuries. He won't win a brownlow, but I feel that he could definetly contribute to the midfield.

i agree Old Dark Navy's
im not a blues person but as a south aussie, it would be great for a champion like braddly can be able to go out on a winning note

but it should be totaly up to him if he plays or not

Braddles ...

Well boys and girls ... appears the legend that is Craig Bradley has finally called it quits. I for one though that he should have stayed on to give some on field leadership to the young kids we are going to have coming through next year. He is obviously up to it, this year coming third in the B&F is proof of that ... sad to see him go. True Carlton legend ...
