One of the hardest things for supporters is when it is the time for champs to retire. Jako, Milli, Kempy and Roo have been absolute champs for us and football. Now, in the next 1-2 years they will probably retire. I would love to see them playing forever, but only if they are at there best. Kempy clearly has a back problem, and these things don't just go away, they affect you for life. Trying to milk 1 more year out of a player, cause they are champs, but then having them suffer for the rest of their lives, is not the right thing to do. I would love to see Jako playing awesome up forward, and if he does I will eat my words, happily, but unless that happens then it is no use. I'm not saying get rid of all the experienced players, definately keep them, but when it is time for retirement, for their benefit, we have to except it.
