Jason Ball confirms retirement

[Charlie]

Announced on C10 tonight.

Here's hoping we send you out in the right style, Jason.

Deserves his own thread.

Wasn't aware until listening to the commentary on the game tonight that Ball has announced he will retire at the end of the year. Was there an announcement that I missed?

I guess players know when its time to call it quits but the way he's played in the last couple of months, he looks still to be capable of playing good football.

The club will certainly be worse off next year without him.

i bet he was thinking it was all over with 5 minutes to go and vice versa for sanderson.

doyle would be pleased with balls retirement next yr. we're really gonna miss the big fella next season

i think he'd have been kept on regardless, but definitely now that ball's retiring. unless of course jeff white wants to come up and be darren jolly's understudy.

Ball's having a great year - I hope he can finish it with the ultimate reward.
