He probably won't do it out of respect to Roughead but i wouldn't mind seeing his good mate Jordan Lewis do the lap with him

Hawthorn's greatest forward since Jason Dunstall
The greatest forward of the AFL era
And a quality person as well
ROUGHIE!!!
Used to be more worried about Rough running riot against us than I was Buddy when they were both with you. He wasn't as flashy as Buddy, but was probably more effective. The fact he was flexible enough to play in the middle and even pinch hit in the ruck if needed puts him above Buddy IMO and probably on a par with blokes like Jonathan Brown.
Enjoy the farewell game Rough. You deserve it.

Well done Mr Roughead. An absolute monumental contribution to the AFL and Hawthorn
Outside of kicking goals he was also tough as nails
His contest against Hannebery in the 2014 grand final is the stuff of legend!
I made this video 13 years ago when Youtube was new, and it is one of the only ones I ever posted. Turns out I was right:

Hey, Roughhead, you’ve got a rough head!
Get it?
And you’re a legend.

I’m surprised his retiring. I thought he would do a Hodge and go play at a young club somewhere where his leadership skills would come in handy. I could see him fitting in at the saints, or Carlton even.
Although I know Hodge did retire before changing his mind, so maybe this will be similar.

great player, seems like a great guy.
Legend
Fitting he plays it against the team he will play for next season
Nah, he is cooked on the field. Not even in the best for the Box Hill Hawks, so is no longer AFL standard.
If he stays involved next year, will be in coaching/Development/Mentoring, and whoever gets him will be lucky.
I could see him suiting up for Leongatha though. Is still well connected with his home.

I doubt he would have gotten one if Hawthorn were seriously fighting for a spot in the eight.

And? The ultimate team player, if it was the difference between playing finals and missing he’d have ruled himself out?
Maybe so, but I can bet that there would have been a dozen players who put their hand up for Roughy to take their spot. This is the family club.
These moments always bring the miserable people out from under their rocks.
You would be fuming if you missed one game because a legend of the club got a farewell match? This isn’t a final, it’s Gold Coast. Guarantee o brien or Mitchell Lewis or whoever it ends up being wouldn’t give two shits.

It's Time!
Congrats to Roughie on an amazing career,he has been through some major scares with the cancer but come through and now can enjoy the next installment in his life.
This is not how we roll @ Hawthorn. Every player would be 100W% happy to give up their spot. Some even said so.
Yes he would - we are playing Gold Coast and Rough will kick a few goals even though he is cooked.
