Well he's cooked

Well he's cooked

This season's cookies are awesome.
SJ
Riewoldt
Watson
Hodge
Mitchell
Boyd
Priddis

I'm sure there'll be more.
Wonder if Lonergan, Kelly, Mackie will follow.

Kelly will probably go on since Essendon will lose Watson & Stanton.

Saw on the AFL app today that Lonergan is open to continue next year if we wish and saw that Mackie seems likely to retire in the same article.

It's also been suggested that we could lose Taylor this year rather than Lonergan on this board.

I can't say I've watched much of his time at the giants. It still looks very unpleasant seeing him in a different jumper. He will always remain one of my favourite Geelong players a legend of the club.

That moment in 2011 when he reappeared after injuring his knee against WCE. Classic SJ marching around the boundary after being stretchered off in a massive statement to the GFC coaching and fitness staff!!

I thought he was BOG in the 2011 GF, a totally disciplined and brilliant performance, despite and possibly because of that injury. (and the ramifications had he not performed)

Based on performances Lonergan should be retiring, Mack and HT are both still playing very good football. Having said that, HT being the unconventional type he is might retire too despite having a year left. He's got a couple of kids now, seems like the type that doesn't put football above all else (which is fine) and might prefer to ease off into football retirement reading war books on his front porch in a rocking chair.

 

[RegHickeyStand]

imo SJ was the best midfielder we had in that great team. The best among greats.

Confirmation FYI

Thanks for all the great memories Stevie.

 

[Landgraft]

We're almost at curtains for the Stevie J show. The end of an era.

also fitting his final regular season game is at the cattery

 

[Grimoz]

ablett

That will come next week when he gets his hammy scan results back and they are falling apart.

 

[catempire]

What a champ.

 

[CatTricks]

All the best 'Norm'!

 

[Boxhead_31]

Wonderful career for SJ one of those players who can at the same time take your breath away and make you pull your hair out

 

[Seeds]

Behind ablett and scarlett johnson was our next best from the flag era. Underrated gun.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

We all love StevieJ, even in the orange & grey. This is just how much of an entertaining footballer he is and has been all his career. The rascal and the star. We will miss him when he's gone because he's such an individual.

 

[Deep]

The highlight package on the AFL app is simply amazing

 

[Sttew]

Well he's cooked

He was cooked in 2006

 

[Cattery]

Absolute champion and one of the most exciting players ever to pull on a Geelong jumper, my only regret is that he didn't finish as a one club player.

Kelly will probably go on since Essendon will lose Watson & Stanton.

Slap a contract extension in front of him ASAP.
