SHOCK RETIREMENT: Star Bomber calls it a day

Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti has announced his retirement

www.afl.com.au

I haven't bothered with the rumour file on this one so can someone fill please fill me in - is it drugs or alcohol, "family issues", maybe an upcoming sex assault charge?

Obviously he's not retiring for injury reasons. Could be he no longer sees the point of playing for an organisation as pathetic as Essendon*, I'd buy that.

 

[Dinsdale]

Or maybe he just couldn't be bothered, found other things more interesting...

At least he gave us that Coles ad.

Probably same reason Nova Peris quit -
Essendon have become a racist organisation or some shit, I don't know.

I'm shocked to be sitting here that a 29-year old Essendon player currently in their VFL side (0-7 to date in 2022) would choose retirement rather than playing on to win back a position in their bottom four AFL team.

Loved seeing this guy play. Its a shame but I wish him all the best.

Will be at west coast next year on a 4 year deal worth 3mil.

 

[Baldur]

If the choice is retirement or playing for Essensoft this year. Easy choice. Pity he was fun to watch play.

The excellent chance that they are not only going to lose but be absolutely pantsed isn't enough?

 

[zackah]

This made me sad today

Yep well said. In all seriousness he was a reason to actually watch a bombers game. There’s plenty of teams I wouldn’t even change to channel for now and Essendon certainly are one of them.

 

[Crabapplepittard]

Forgot to add. Enjoy retirement Walla. All the best.

Smart move jumping off the Titanic before Hird returns to sink it for real this time
