    W - O - W.

    Best of luck Mitch, the only man in history to achieve the AFL premiership/NEAFL goalkicking double.

    This is such BS. I can't believe he is retiring - this is very sad. Anxiety aside, I bet that if he was getting consistent games this year like he should be, instead of being dropped if he looks at someone sideways, we wouldn't be having this retirement conversation. It wasn't that long ago that he publicly announced that he'd love to stay on with the Swans next year and beyond. IMHO the fact that he knows that he'll always be treated as a 'plan C' has weighed into this decision.

    Mitch Morton - very talented player. This really sucks.

    Good decision to get out of the way as it would seem that the new kids have a higher priority at the moment. Must be hard to break into the side. Thanks for the efforts and the highlights package shows that MM is a skilled player!

    Great that he has plans past football and has done the hard yards to make them materialise.
    Absolutely. Will never forget his contribution to that Premiership!

    Done in the best Bloods spirit.
    Thanks Mitch, and all the best in the rest of your football career and life beyond.
    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)

    He says he'll keep playing footy at "state level" - let's hope he means NEAFL, it'd be great to have the standard of that league improved further.

    Well this opens up a bit more in the salary cap to re sign Mummy.
