The Association Football AFL Thread 2.0

Honestly, if you are Selwood and Hawkins, is there really a better way to go out than with a flag? It isn't like they are on big money keeping them going around for another year.

If they still enjoy playing AFL, why retire? I think “retiring on top” is an overrated notion if the player is still enjoying the game.

You go until the wheels fall off. But as soon as they do fall off you need to make the call. Cough Jack Zeibell cough.

Hawkins is not built on speed. He’s a strength and bullocking forward. Could go on another couple years.

Don't forget footy smarts.

Or have the call made for you.

At that money the pick going back would surely have to be a 20s range 2nd rounder. At best.
No way you convince someone to take on that coin for him and give back late first.

I get that but if you’re still capable and enjoying playing the game you love, why not keep going? Once you’re done, you’re done, I’m a believer that you go until you simply can’t anymore.

Dunkley comes out with “he’s such a great human being” when asked about Fagan.

 

[Latro]

Fair deal

Fair deal

Walsh must have wanted to play a final before retiring.

Always thinking outside the box, aren’t you Gero?

Don't forget Croad the landscape gardener that rips clients going into bat for Clarkson.

Narkle, Evans and Stevens delisted Art Vandelay_ UnitedWarrior93

Think Evans will end up at Port and Narkle will get a 2nd chance somewhere else also.

 

[DBAH0]

And presume this is it for Joel.

“Too much Carlton talk.”

We knew it was coming.

Joel retired?

Joel retired?

Yep, expected to be announced at 1pm today. He’s the greatest Geelong man ever, going to be strange with him not leading the boys out next season.

Unreal career.

If this is a retirement announcement for Joel Selwood, what a way to go out. Not only his career that has been fabulous but he showed what a great leader he is over the last week.

I read this story yesterday.

I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up Narkle.

 

[chef]

Not a player I ever liked but what a warrior Selwood was. Second to none in terms of leadership.

 

[RPCB]

Elmer has already retired him on the main board.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up Narkle.

Good luck lol. One way runner
