Reporting on SEN that Davey is set to announce his retirement

 

[Headless]

If true, I wish him all the best. He has been a great servant of this club.

 

[ponsdale]

Big news.

 

[syl]

Yeah, bugger. Please don't play at another club flash...

 

[Captain Jack]

Nah he would be pretty cooked I imagine.

I'm glad he has had the chance to finish his career in some sort of decent form after his past couple of horror years... much like Green.

edit: delete this. Refreshed the forum a couple of times, no post, then after I make the thread, another one pops up that was apparently started 30 minutes ago...

 

[Viney]

Been a good servant

Hope this was handled well by the club

Davey great example of what players can do given the opportunity through the rookie list. Great player for our club.

Been a real pity about his slide over the last few years, the club would be slightly regretful about that big/long contract you'd think. Wish he stayed fit & in form, retiring as a 200 game player would've been fantastic.

Thanks Flash!

Please offer him some sort of position at the club next year - his guidance, particulary for the indigenous kids at the club has been great. Seems like a really solid influencer.

The tweets coming from the press conference don't soundly overly convincing that the decision to retire was mostly his own. Bit early to call that though.

Press conference just tweeted this:
"Melbourne FC ‏@melbournefc 42s
Mahoney: Aaron changed the game the way he used forward pressure. We're discussing how Aaron can be involved next year."

Thanks Aaron! You'll be missed!

What a true champion of our club! Served us well and had a super career with an impressive highlight reel. Thanks Flash!

That makes me happy - build a place that people don't want to leave and want to keep moving with the club.

Yep seems he's happy the way it's been handled and wants to stay involved

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Watching him the past few years, you almost forget just how good he was at the start of his career. All the best Flash!

One of the best dummies sold

Was one of my fave Melbourne players.
Well done on a great career.

 

[TigermanM2]

Well done Aaron. Played arguably his best game for a couple of years against us earlier this year and gave a reminder of just how good a player he was when on song. One of the best players to come from the Rookie lists.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Has anyone got that clip from the Bulldogs game where he kicks a point right near the end? Possibly the best point I've seen, electrifying at his best. One of my faves.

 

[syl]

Going to miss him.......... :/

 

[LeverPuller]

Onya Aaron. Got us through some tough times and a fantastic player at his best.

 

[jhong]

Will be missed. Thanks for the memories Aaron .

Hope davey stays around, he works well with the new kids coming into the club, he certainly is a role model off the field, about time the club has some ex players stick around.
