Retiring Sonny Sets

[mightymouse75]

Love everything this guy did from the start & Having to go back to build his fitness & dominating wafl, to standing up in big games, to his infectious smile.

He was always there for his team mates, his family _ & us.

Never turned his back on his roots, being a role model or mentoring the young guys.

Love you Sonny.

Pound for pound Sonny sits comfortably amongst the greatest Dockers and his stroke, ball drop to left foot, was absolutely pure, like Roger Federer or Adam Scott levels of grace. May his future reflect the joy he brought to us all.

I'll give Liam credit his tribute on Insta was quite nice.

Obviously looks up to Walters a tonne.

There was a game against St Kilda where he 6 goals from the midfield and got 30 plus possessions.

A game against Collingwood in 2015, not a great team performance but worth looking at for the clutch moments.

Sonny kicked the first goal inside a minute and the last goal of a game which we won by under 2 goals.

We were top of the ladder and Collingwood were near the bottom but we couldn't shake them off. In fact Collingwood led for a lot of the game but as well as the 2 goals I mention above, Sonny also kicked two other goals that were seconds before the siren at half time and seconds before 3/4 time. Both were goals in general play from narrow angles where he had to get the ball on the boot quick or not get a kick at all.

Rd 13 2015.

I know this is the SonSon thread, but that highlight reel just reminded me how much I miss Stephen Hill. I still think he would have lasted much longer had we not bulked him up....

I really hope this makes the guys come out breathing fire.. Sonny deserves to be sent off with a win.

At this point the forecast has the rain peaking before lunch. We should be well in the sou-wester by bounce down so with luck we may hardly get wet at all.

Ugh, I’m not going to be back in time.
