Everything indicated that he could go on and still have an impact next year. Would love to know what happened in the exit interview with Simo

The Reddog hangs up the boots.
Absolute Champ, Club first person and crushed it completely in 2018.

 

[Ochre]

Was outstanding in 2018, especially in the finals.

 

[the harry]

Always sad news when a great Clubman retires, he is the heart and soul sort of player that goes unheralded but is essential to winning a Premiership.

In the same category as Stenglein and Lamb.

Terrific acquisition.

I think that's very generous to Tom Lamb

 

[RookiePick]

...the bloke even said he was happy to run around in the WAFL.

JFC I'm actually melting pretty hard about this news.

Lamb. You mean Tom Lamb. Surely not in the same category.

With a third little one on the way it’s a tough gig, especially for a player from here. The travel and absence must be pretty tough on the family.

He still can (for us, I hope)

Think D Lamb rather than T

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

His 2018 was sublime. And then he lifted again for the finals.

There's a few oldies I would have preferred to have retired first. but this is the act of a supremely selfless club man.

 

[DickDunn]

Wow, absolutely wasn't expecting this. As others have said, huge in 2018 and a big reason why we were able to produce the tough, contested footy that has otherwise eluded us at times. Had a great season this year too

 

[Monocle]

Think D Lamb rather than T

Yes:

Dwayne " Fatty" Lamb.

Tom " Crappy " Lamb.

 

[the harry]

As surprised as I am, it's selfless for him to make the call and that fits perfectly well with how he's served the club for the last 7 years.

 

[jesterwester]

Well that is a surprise.

He has proven to be a terrific clubman and one of our key pillars in our 2018 flag. Unheralded but I think he’s someone you would have liked to have played with. Genuine 2 way runner.

Does leave an immediate gap in our midfield for our younger mids to work towards over off season. But i think we will miss Reddo.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Unexpected call, but appreciate him even more for this selfless act (as per quotes in media release re where the club is going).
Exemplifies him as a person, always put the team first instead of stat padding or chasing personal accolades and this is no different.

 

[kranky al]

Loved him, not a superstar but a solid b+ to a- that rocked up and week in week out you got the same consistent results.

Thanks for the memories.

 

[Barrybran]

A season or two premature but contracts huh? Glad he won a flag with us. Reddo was always one of those blokes you saw his career stats and was amazed he played as many games as he had - not an out and out superstar but rocked up and played his role each week.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

A total of 69 West Coast Eagles players (out of 277) have won a premiership. Redden is one of them!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

This god damn mutha****ing club

Super pissed about this. Reddo was one of our only reliable oldies and we have pushed him out the door.

Chill. Sounds like he made the decision of his own accord.

Nice

 

[Spod]

Ah what a bummer. Pretty much our most reliable player for the past few years - definitely in the midfield group. Wouldn't have begrudged him playing on.

Absolute champion and a huge factor in the 2018 flag. All the best to him for his post footy career.

 

[DanWA]

Surprised by this one

All the best Reddo

 

[THE A5]

Him and Waters were different players but both were great clubmen that played with their hearts on their sleeves

 

[plays tall 1]

Massive respect for this guy. Absolutely selfless. Great servant for the club.

 

[WCE_phil]

The ultimate Clubman.

Really hoping post retirement we can keep Redden, Sheppard and Nicnat around.

The only other two i want around the club long term are Kennedy and Hurn however jk is off up north and im certain Hurn will go back to the farm.

We love you red dog we do.
