Very sad day
I think it's a great incentive to send out the absolute champion in the finest style possible.

Some very funny posts but there is only 1 winner for me.
I'm glad the announcement wasn't about Bradshaw's knee.
I remember Brett's first game and it didn't seem that long ago but how quick has 225 games gone by. A true CHAMPION of the Swans and I hope he becomes the new midfield coach as of next year. A brilliant football story showing to people in football and in life that you can make it if you start believing in yourself. Now I hope the boys are inspired for the next of the year.

Inevitable but sad - time catches up with us all. A fine player, an outstanding example and a truly great captain.
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)
What a champion he's been. I'm sure he will be offered some sort of ongoing role in the club. He is the "spiritual leader" after all!

Let's just hope he is not replaced by John Harriman this time...
No big surprise about Brett Kirk. I noticed this year that he is no longer on the list of top tacklers. But I am glad he is to wait to the end of the year, we need the numbers!.
His legacy? I personally regard him as one of the most inspiring persons I have ever known, and not just through his football feats.
Absolutely shattered......... Such a great player and captain...
So He's definately going until the end of the season? He's not playing his last game this weekend? Or he's not anoouncing his retirement effective immediately?
Sad as it may be, it's very fitting that Roos and Kirk go out together. Roos was the coach who brought Kirk's strengths to the fore. If Eade was still in charge at the end of 02, Kirk would have been delisted.
Aaahhhhh Shiiiiiiitttttt!
That means I am getting older too........First game I watched him play was against Collingwood at Manuka, and we all spent the day saying "who is that guy!" he wasn't even listed in the programme if memory serves me right. Bless the man.

Devastating news. Never thought the time would come. Best player I have ever seen wearing the red and white.
It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
