He deserves a thread of his own to celebrate his career now that he has announced his retirement Thanks for everything Dan! A loyal servant of 14 years who gave his all for all 198 games(And counting) and it is truly a disgrace the way some Lions fans have turned on him as his form has dropped off later in his career whilst he played on with pain for the sole purpose of helping the team out. The ultimate team man who has been very popular around the club, part of the leadership group for years and accepted modest salaries for the benefit of the team. Was quite a decent defender from 2007-2012/2013(Can't exactly recall when his form dropped off). I am glad he got to play in the 2 finals matches in 2009.
This will be a sad day for those fans(Such as my nephew) who started following the Lions as little kids just after the premiership days around 2005 as big Rog is the last remaining player from the new cubs who came to the club just after the premiership days(Adcock, Sherman, Corrie, Selwood, McDonald, Stiller, Drummond, Moody, Roe, Patfull ect.) and he deserves to be the last remaining player from that era as he played with heart and passion during a very dark period for our club.
Good luck in your life post footy Dan! You've got lot's to look forward to with a great young family and you will be remembered fondly by the majority of Lions fans as a Lion through and through!
