moments here. Go well Jason.

 

[Mofra]

3 flags.
He'd have to be pretty happy with how it all turned out. Good luck to him

 

[DanWA]

All the best Jason, 3 flags would make anyone happy

Feels very young at 26

 

[Square Peg]

No Castagna, no Richmond

 

[SSSSSS]

Not sure if OP is genuine or a pisstake.

Some really classless posts on the Richmond board. Poor guy gives them three flags and even in retirement is still a whipping boy.

Enjoy retirement. Got the absolute best of himself.

Yeah nice try mate, i encourage everyone to go to the George retires and make up their own mind rather than read this post from this knob.

 

[captain blood 17]

If he had of kicked straight in the 2019 GF he could of had a Norm Smith. Made the most of what he had. Was a great negating forward. And handy mark for his size. Go well George.

It's no secret that Castagna copped plenty of s**t and heat from Richmond supporters let alone the footballing public. I hope it didn't contribute to his decision to retire early.

Three flags is an enormous achievement. History is littered with limited players who were in the right place and the right time to win a flag. It is by no accident or stroke of luck that Castagna was selected for three. Vital cog in a famous mosquito fleet.

Every club has a "whipping boy". Without him helping how we redesigned our ball movement and forward structure, we don't get those flags. Not everyone can be an Akermanis or Stevie J type. George was a massive blue collar footballer. Courageous as well.

Complete respect to George A hero for life for 2017 , helped make all of our lives a helluva lot better .
And if he’d kicked straight in 2019 GF could’ve won a norm smith .

Thanks george , you and your mates let me once again walk down the street with my head held high .

similar sort of stuff happened with trav varcoe after 2013 unfortunately

 

[Altum Volantes]

Unbelievable timing.

He’s almost missed the entire ‘Summer of George’ already.

 

[dinnaz]

Anything more to this? A few honest words telling him he would likely be playing a lot of VFL perhaps?

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Fantastic career geaorge and all the best in retirement and to go out knowing he has as many premiership medallions as Dangerfield & Ablett combines is a massive achievement.

Well done george

 

[Altum Volantes]

Anyone checked on Quentin Narkle btw?

 

[hawkman]

Aarts and Castagna gone in the one offseason. A Richmond player is really going to have to step up to achieve whipping boy status

Hammy probably worse than the club let on, he knew he was fringe this season and coming out of contract at seasons end.

After 3 flags and being 27 next year he has probably thought, I've done enough.

Sure, he was frustrating sometimes and probably played one week too many when in a slump, but his contribution can't be ignored especially in 2017 when we had only 1 Key forward.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Not sure which grand final it was but all I remember from him is taking shots from everywhere (and missing) when other players were looking for blokes in a better position etc.

2019 Grand Final, but when the game is effectively over by half time, it doesnt matter so much.

 

[Toump Ass]

LOL Richmond supporters pretending they don't hate him.

 

[Purple Suit]

The dynasty is over. No Richmond team has won a flag without Castagna in their team for over 40 years.

 

[And_ROOS]

Richmond selection Rd 1.

"What are you doing here Jason?"
"What? I play here?"
"I thought ya retired?"
"What? Retired? Who retired?"

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Mr Indiscriminate.

We need a new one. The over-organised Cats had no answer to him in 3 finals. My favourite Castagna moment was his 50m random spinning, nose-diving set shot that sailed over the goal line untouched at chest height while roughly 12 Geelong players stationed thereat watched on in horror, helpless, clueless, and distraught, as the Tigers loomed up to within a kick in the 3rd. The same can be viewed at 3:05 in the following clip:

I have never hated him.
