Club would have a fair idea what road they'll be going down and so would Thommo.
Retire
He's had such a great career with us. It's about time he steps aside and give a youngster an opportunity.

Sorry Thommo, you're a ripper but your time is up. All the very best.
Kane said we we must keep him so it's a retire from me.
He will be development coaching. A lot was made in some interview last week about how influential is behind the scenes. However what did he do Saturday night. Wasn't in the box with Sauce and didn't see him in any camera shot.

You try telling Thommo he's not playing next year.

He still has time to turn his form around. Even now he is still a top player. Its just that our list has strengthened/improved so much that he is not best 22. Same with Douglas and Mackay although neither of these are in Thommos league.
If he stays on as a player/coach in the sanfl then he gives us great cover and allows us to be more bold with our list e.g. cut guys like Grigg in favour of new draftees.

It would need to be via email, Skype or sms. No one will be brave enough to do it face to face
Thommo will want to play on but the club should move on.
Been a great champion of the club but father time catches up with everyone. He has no where near the impact that he has been known for. Started the year off brilliantly but is shadow of that player now.

I think everyone can see what the right thing to do it, but I wonder if the club will have the balls to do it though.
I bet they were wishing Thommo would make the call himself to retire, but it looks like that isn't going to happen and they will actively need to end his career.
I can't see the club doing it to be honest.

A bigger deal out west.
Retire.
He may believe he has another year in him, but it's more likely to be detrimental to us than helpful keeping him.
Use his spot and try to attract a blue chipper.

None of our youngsters have got guns that can match Thommo's. Just ask Thommo.

Is he hinting at playing on so that his last month or two doesn't become a farewell tour?

I thought he should have retired at the end of last year, but I can understand why he didn't, and really best case scenario is the Crows win the flag this year and Thommo gets a premiership.
That would be the ideal outcome for all concerned
