retirement

[swansrule100]

Should some blokes announce their retirements this week so they can farwell their home crowd?

seems like the bloods thing to do, rather than hang on to your spot and wait to be kicked out

[Plugger46]

Still a chance of a home final so probably not.

Mathews, L.Barry, Crouch and Everitt should all retire at season's end in my opinion.

[swansrule100]

true.

Just even though some maybe should of gone a year ago, seen as the guys we are talking about played in the premiership it would be nice to see them get a good send off.

I know we all want to delist a few that are past it etc, but they still provided great memories, be a shame to just see them retire after a season

maybe some emotion can stir a decent effort from the side

[Plugger46]

Yeah good point. Hard to know which is the best way to go.

Leo will probably play on but I don't think he should. Surely they won't allow Everitt or Mathews to go another year.

They should be holding a press conference at Driver Avenue this afternoon to announce as much.

Leo, Spida, Crouch and Mathews.

I'd even support Ben getting a game considering the result will mean nothing. He can then retire on the Bradmanesque figure of 199 matches.

Leo - one more year
Mathews - wont retire, they will cut him, he will give up the game like he did
pluggers number 4 (ie he wont)
Crouch - One more year, and will spend it all in the reserves
Spida - Retired
Davis - delisted...... Then we will re-draft him with pick 68

And the season should end for them this week.

Give them alast hurrah and pick kids to give them a taste of finals the following week.

I dont think many will retire unless they get kicked out. Spider and Mathews are the only 2 i can see going.
Hard to see who the club will choose to give the axe!
Nick Davis will go 1 way or another i think if he doesnt retire he will get the boot i reckon.
Do any of the players above deserve in your oppinion to go out on a high on their terms?
Some of those are great servers of the club for many years. Benny was fantastic at one point....

Um when exactly was that Aimee, at the 10 minute mark of a match against Fremantle in 2003 or something?
