An absolute out and out champion, the game will be poorer for his absence. What role on the footy show does he take now?

Brownlow Medallist
It is fitting that he goes out on top, a winner, a premiership player & a 305 game champion.
It has been a privilege to watch him play.
Cheers, Crawf.

Thank you Crawf for everything you have done for the club. You mean so much to Football and the Hawthorn football club.

Re: Crawford Retires!!!!!!!
Another legend of the game that will be missed. Here's to you Crawf. A ripper bloke on and off the field.

Knights 24
Team Captain
The crowning glory was the flag.
Crawf should and will be remembered as one of the Hawthorn greats.
The number of kids who had # 9 on their jumpers over the years reflects the esteem that Crawf is held in. He almost single handed kept the team going through the rough years.
Deserves all the accolades.
A great player, great bloke and a truly great Hawk.

Re: Shane Crawford retires
No probs RD. I'm sure you are as shocked and gutted as me.
I'd love to see a career highlights DVD so i can re-live all the memories.

It is sad day for Australian rules football and the Hawthorn Football Club and fans and supporters

I was surprised to see he was going to continue. Comes across as unselfish and with the kids pushing for a spot I would of put money on him retiring post GF. Well that has now happened and my memories of the champ will now be kept in tact.
Love to see champions go out on a high and he has now done so.
Good on ya crawf and best of luck with your future endeavors.

As noted by others, it's strange that all the talk was of one-year contracts and now BANG! He's not gonna go around again.
Anyways, well done Shane! You stuck with the Hawks when they were at the bottom of the barrel and now you've seen them at the absolute pinnacle of the AFL. Fantastic career and, though it sucked to see your team win it this year I'm bloody glad you got that medal round your neck!
Bowling, Shane!!!!

Rapped for crawf finishing on a high. He could have went again I think. He was good enough. Anyway gives an opportunity to a young guy. Morton, Dowler or Josh. Go crawf and all the best to you and your family. You were a true champ of the club!
Least he got his flag! 
Thanks Crawf, twas good watchin ya run around, and probably the reason why I barracked for you guys on GF Day.

What a champion.
We should make round 1 a tribute to him. Unfurling the flag and paying tribute to Shane, we would destroy Geelong.

Great way to finish I reckon.
Now Morts or Tucky will have a chance to spread their wings in 2009 and Crawf has a winning grand final as his last game.
How many spaces on our list now? Will we try and get some experience in the PSD?
God it'll be wierd not having Crawf! Hope he becomes a runner!

What a ****en Champion, will go down as one of the Hawthorn FC greatest...Enjoy your family and life Crawf! looking forward to the boy's hopefully playing their part in history as well.
Thanks, shane! You are truly a great of this fantastic club, and it's sad to think that I have grown up with you in the colours I love, and now that after so long you have gone. Crawf bled brown and gold through a tough period, and in the end he was rewarded handsomely.
Premiership player, Captain of the club, 300-game player (with one club), Brownlow medallist, AFLPA MVP, State of Origin rep, 4-time all australian, and an absolute champion bloke.
I am proud that some day I'll be able to tell my grand kids that I saw this legend play.

True Legend of the Hawthorn Football Club
I'm glad he went out on a high and will always be remembered

Im really sad to hear that he has retired as I was hoping so much to see him go around one more time!!
Your a dead set legend Crawf and will always be remembered as a true CHAMPION of Hawthorn! I, like so many others, was SO happy when you finally got that premiership medal you deserved and am glad that even though your retiring, you have finished on top and with what you set out to achieve!
The main thing thats gutting me atm is that we won't see him being carried off the ground in his last game in the brown and gold, however i am hoping that us fans will get an opportunity, hopefully in round one 2009, to give him a proper farewell!!

Sad to hear, but he had a spectacular career.... capped off with his lifelong dream of playing in a winning grand final side
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

I'm very shattered. I can't believe he announced it. He has had an outstanding career. Thanks for the memories, you will be very much missed.
