It's time.
A great servant to the club over many years, but his game tonight shows he is past it as an AFL player.

"As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk
From watching on the couch I think it's time for him to hang up the boots. I've been thinking it for a few weeks now TBH, as his last few performances havent really been up to scratch.
I hope that he comes out next week though and has a blinder !!!
From watching at the game. Retirement!!!
In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.
I've never been a Leo fan even when he took that mark, I wasn't a fan, so I'll stay clear of the topic in question, but I will say one thing. He should never be allowed to give the players pep talks.
As Meatloaf sang - "You took the words right out of my mouth"
(I'll not quote the next line , though :-) )
Hammo , I've been saying this quietly for a few weeks now , but reserved judgment.
I was stunned that his name was on the afl.com.au "best" list.
He has looked slower and increasingly vulnerable when he's rebounding.
He's already indicated he's considering whether he should play on next year.
Leo , you've been magnificent - playing on bigger blokes every week, leaving me amazed by your courage and determination , making me wonder "How the HELL did he spoil that mark??"
And I'll remember forever my eyes got a bit damp only once at a football game - straight after you had just taken a mark yourself.
Thanks for everything , mate - but it's time to go.
