Preview Potential 2019 retirees

[Taylor]

As we approach the second half of the year who do we expect to announce retirement and have farewell games

I’ve listed the below as who I think will retire, some more likely than others but will keep track as year progresses

Burgoyne
Simpson
Wells
Hodge
Morris
Sandilands
McVeigh
Mundy
Rishcitelli
Scott Thompson
Shane Mumford
Jarryd Roughead
Brett Deledio
Lynden Dunn
Dale Thomas
Kieren Jack
Ballantyne
Nick smith
Armitage
Chris Masten
Sam Wright

 

[Ablett2Garland]

Jordan Lewis

 

[The Nostradamus]

Jordan Lewis

I swear I noted him down but then looked again and he wasn’t there

100% Lewis retires good pickup

 

[teddies]

Birchall

I think Burgoyne will go one more year.

 

[TheLastCall]

Remove Mundy from the list, he’ll go around again.

 

[Joao]

Ballantyne would be up in the air too I imagine.

Suspect if he doesn't go on it won't be his idea, even if he says it is.

 

[Wild Bill]

Remove Mundy from the list, he’ll go around again.

Agree - his form has been great. Would have to drop off significantly to be any doubt.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Matt Suckling may finally pull the trigger on a punting career in the NFL

Tory Dickson's body isn't holding up so well anymore, very highly doubt he keeps going

 

[Vindicater]

Mark Baguley

 

[legendstatus]

Dunn
Reid
Wells
Goldsack
Varcoe

Rischitelli yes
Despite Harbrows form wouldn't rule him out.
Apparently was close to closing it down before this season.

 

[WWSD]

Roughead
Birchall
Burgoyne
Puopolo
Mohr

I don't know if Simmo's body will allow him to go around one more time, but I think the desire is there. Daisy has been at times our most consistent back 6 player and despite his immature moves of late, I think he stays on the list. Wouldn't shock me if Marc Murphy called it a career. Taking a Mumford rib tickler has got to make you stop and think about things.

 

[Ishikawa]

Can't see Deledio retiring, he's looked superb in his couple of games since returning.

If his calf went again I think that would be it.

Ballas won’t get another contract.
Shouldn’t have got an extension this year.

 

[blueiris]

Hodge could play next year Brisbane don't have the replacement and has played all but 1 game

 

[Wojcinski]

Harry Taylor is likely to retire. Scott Selwood a small chance too.

 

[Mofra]

Rischitelli yes
Despite Harbrows form wouldn't rule him out.

Jeez Harbrow has been good over the journey. From watching him this year he hasn't lost any lateral movement either, very hard to tackle.

Yes, would be a fantastic touch footy player!

 

[Joao]

I bet Ross wants him to get one but I do agree. I expect he'll "retire" this year unless he hits some unreal form in the back half of the season.

 

[Chaisa]

I think Smith, Jack and McVeigh are at least an 80% chance of pulling the plug at the end of the season.

 

[Mego Red]

Can we sort the OP into clubs?

 

[Sab22]

Armitage

 

[Baudolino]

Roughead
Birchall
Burgoyne
Puopolo
Mohr

Has Roughead intimated that he wants to retire a one club man? I have no doubt the Hawks won’t offer him another contract, but I could easily see him playing again next year for a club like Gold Coast in a similar leadership role to Hodge at Brisbane.
