    Bye Bye Ben/Benny announces retirement

    Ch10 just carried the line that Matthews has announced his retirement.

    Now that'll break out some debate

    Super effort. Well done Ben.

    Earnt one more premiership medallion than anyone in 42.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Well done Ben, a career to be happy with. And thanks for your work with the next generation in the twos.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Best of luck to Benny, he's a lovely guy and has been a wonderful servant to the club. I must admit that I was kind of hoping that he'd get to 200 this year, bad as gifting games would be.
