He's been doing a tremendous job in the reserves carrying the entire load in the ruck. I was working up a sweat just watching him play, although I admit that may have something to do with living in Thailand. Looks prime to have a big finals series. I'm getting a bit nostalgic thinking about his impending retirement. If there were a salary cap on modelling, then we might have a shot at keeping him.

I see that Trent West announced his retirement, which adds to the nostalgia. Who can forget the ruck battle at the Gabba between Tom and Trent in May 2014 in one of the great ruck duels of the modern era. Tom carried the ruck load that day for a hobbled Mike Pyke. Tom kick the sealer and we came away with the victory 123-39. It was one of Tom's better games in a magnificent 15 game AFL career.
