The retiring players thread...

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Cannot believe how much quality is retiring this year.

Already we have Gibbo, Hodge, Mitchell, Riewoldt, Priddis, Murphy, Stevie J, Kelly, Thompson, Montagna... (10)

Others: Lonergan, Mackie, Stanton, Maric, Dempster, Watson*, Ibbotson, Dawson, Butler, Fitzy, White... (11)

No doubt more to follow but will be interesting to put them on a team sheet to see how good the team would be.

Wouldn't mind have been able to see a half back line play of:

HB: Hodge - Gibson - Murphy

Cannot recall a year when such talent retired at the same time...

Will continue to update...

Saw this earlier which includes players who MIGHT retire come seasons end. Still a hell of a team none-the-less

I have an issue with only 2 of the 3 Essendrug players having an asterisk* alongside their names...

 

[Gralin]

Too many * in that team quite a loose use of champion too

Well, it was until I saw Zac Dawson in there.

Are any of the 2001 draft class still in the game next year?

Could be a good opportunity to run the ruler over that group once and for all

Gary Ablett junior. Might retire though if he does not get traded

How dare you! Zac is a legend of our game!

Was Jarrod Waite 2001? Montagna is yet to confirm retirement but you'd think he will finish up.

Yeah I think Waite was actually

 

[IdiotBox]

The latest retiree, James Kelly, would definitely be an upgrade on Armfield in the back line.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Lonergan and Mackie both very good players.

Zac Dawson on the bench over Andrew Mackie. Love it!

That was done weeks ago before Mackie was even being talked about. Still humerous
