Jacko has retired

[Rubber Hips]

Dan Jackson...a man with class and dignity
Bows out because he doesn't want to let the team down by the failings of his body

Class act on and off the field...intelligent but not full of shit
Best mates with Jake King yet believed in causes that most would shirk

As a footballer- always gave 100% and you could see he hurt bad on the field...that was the sort of player he was

Bows out as reigning Jack Dyer Medallist

Will not be lost to football

Thank you Dan Jackson...true tiger champ

Admire the bloke so much, not only for his passion on the field but all the work he does off it as well.
One of the most well spoken footballers I've ever seen too

Loved a goal almost as much as a big hit

 

[Squibbs]

One of the smartest blokes in footy, sad to see him go. Gave it absolutely everything and left nothing in the tank, much respect for Jacko!

 

[Hipster Doofus]

He'll smack the shit outta life too, selfless and driven.

 

[Craze]

This sucks.

I really like Jacko and still thought he would be our 4th or 5th best mid, behind Deledio, Martin, Cotchin and Ellis but in front of Conca, Grigg, Foley, etc. Hopefully he stays associated with the Tigers because he is a smart cookie.

He is the kind of the guy who has the world at his feat now. He could easily go into Media as he presents really well, but I imagine he will travel and then go into private enterprise.

Completely agree.

Strikes me as a great clubman who sets a great example for others.

Only just found out due to busy day. Wow...didn't see it coming but deserved last years medal and I'm grateful for all he gave to Richmond.

well said. I see a mentoring role in the immediate future, and I reckon this bloke could one day run the afl

Essendon board talking about rumors that its a forced retirement due to drugs. Doubt it's the case

They are the experts on drug taking. Both the players and the moronic supporters that would even suggest Jacko's retirement was "drug related". Scumbags.

That goal against Carlton was a classic. All the haters were ready to go nuts at Jacko until Murphy was too pissweak to stick the tackle. I loved it. Great work Jacko. You had a fantastic career and I enjoyed every minute of it.
He actually meant a couple of these goals too.

 

[Harmichael]

I'm hoping he changes his mind. .

Funny, I feel exactly the same way about Newman.

What a whacky bunch of guys!!!

I like the bit where with zero evidence DJ is on the drugs, but with all the evidence in the world Essendrugs F**ked-Pill Club is clean.

Bless their little supplement soaked hearts.

No doubt the little geniuses over there noted that DJ has never had an injury in his entire career and managed to work out all by themselves that injury could NEVER be a reason why he'd call his career short.

I would say the stupid hurts, but, hey, you have to make allowances when you're dealing with the Essendrugs board.

Rookie spot?

 

[kozi]

Keep him around the club. His work ethic and leadership is about as good as it gets.

He missed that one didn't he?
