So we couldn’t have announced that last week and given him a farewell game?

We’re not soft like that. We are a ruthless club.

 

[mattymac]

Good onya Dougie, thanks for the memories!

 

[MatthewB]

farewell pizza boy

 

[Brenton Davy]

Thanks for 14 years of service Dougie.

Although he was much maligned at times and the game had probably started to pass him by, he did win a B&F and has been a great clubman. Hope he has a good future.

Well, at least some of the servants of the club are trying to save us from ourselves.

Always liked Dougy, could never fault his effort.

 

[Dudersaurus]

We are in for some massive fines next year when non-listed players are selected in the team.

Guess that's what we're doing this weekend

 

[SuperBashBros]

Due to the club playing our oldies into the ground its easy to forget how much they have contributed.

Dougie has been a great servant of the club and that shouldnt be forgotten.

All the best Dougsie

A good player who starred during our worst seasons. Better than several others of our infamous 200 game club.

Ultimately stayed for two seasons too many but has made the right decision. Has absolutely nothing left in the tank

 

[Cromulent]

Cheers for all the pizzas Dougie

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Congrats on a fine career at the Crows and mad props for not bailing on the club like a lot of other interstate guys.

 

[moses]

All the best Dougy - been a very solid contributor for most of his career, including his B&F year. Unfortunately time catches up with everyone. Right timing to bow out.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Thanks Dougie.

 

[crows dude]

I heard this lasat night on the news and posted it in the rumours thread

 

[Vooligan]

Absolutely loved Dougy in his prime, I will certainly miss him!

I wonder if he will get a twelve month gig up at the Gold Coast perhaps?

One of my favourite Dougy moments:

 

[skam85]

Game 250 would be the Grand Final

 

[WetCrow1991]

Decent player, fell over a bit. Took out GWS flog.

 

[Geoffa32]

A club bnf winner. Probably stuck around two seasons too long.

But a pretty decent career in all.

I’ll remember him for his game v GWS in the 2017 Qualifying Final.

Was a strong, courageous and skillful performance that showed he did have capacity for standing up in an important game

 

[Bernie L]

A good servant to our club. Well done Dougy.

That's two now.........................

Keep 'em comin'...

 

[hippyhippy]

I would have to say after his bnf season.. he underachieved... however best of luck to him...seems like a top bloke.

Now.. when is Mackay going to make his announcement?

 

[weneverland]

One of my favourite players. Could never felt his effort and often made a material impact on the game by playing a variety of positions and rolls especially during some of our Lee New years.
All the best in your future endeavours.

Thanks for your contribution dougy!
All the best.
