Well done Ted. How could anyone forget his magnificent efforts in the 2012 GF playing with a bunged-up foot and keep a true champion reasonably quiet. Superb contributor to this club.

Agree, and although I've never watched a replay of it, from memory he damn near won us the 06 GF he was superb in that game, and had he not been knocked out he may well have won it for us.

Great career and is well and truly entitled to strut around the place wearing the name Super Ted.

The Age reporting that he kept Buddy goalless in the 2012 GF. Watched a different game to the one I was at.

From the press conference: "Without embarrassing him, I did keep Bud goalless once in 2012." I assume he means the round 5 win? I guess some journo wrote up their story on the run without reviewing the games...

Sad, even when you know it's coming. What a great pick-up and club man he has been. Amazing to think he was almost gone in 2010 and turned it around.

EDIT: note that The Age article now updated and has removed the incorrect information.

Teddy had me when he was nearly killed by that collision with Fevola in a Carlton game at Etihad. I figured anyone who gets taken off the field coughing up blood would probably go alright with our bloods ethos. What a sterling contribution he's made.....

Probably would've been delisted at the end of 2010 if LRT hadn't got injured. He was struggling for form and I remember watching a reserves match where he just looked totally shot. Unbelievable effort for him to turn it around from there and play the best footy of his career.

Terrific last term in the 2012 GF on one leg after Buddy looked like taking the game away from us.
