2013 - Player retirements/delistings/trade discussion

Postby Booney » Wed Jul 03, 2013 4:07 pm

As we know Martin Mattner (Adel/Syd) announced his retirement due to hip injuires earlier this year.

98 games for Adelaide
115 games for Sydney

2012 Premiership player.

Often criticised at Adelaide for his use of the ball, it is what made his career at Sydney. Using the ball well from the back half, running and tackling hard. Well played, Marty.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________


Today Chad Cornes follows him into retirement on the back of a knee injury/infection.

239 games for Port
16 games for GWS

2x All-Australian, 2004 Premiership player. Love him or hate him (I know many of you will hate him), Chad was an outstanding utility who played match winning roles in many positions. Well done Chad.
PAFC. Forever.

Shouldn't forget Graham Johncock, whom announced his retirement from AFL football on Monday.

All 3 have been fantastic servants to SA Football.

Mattner will most likely be remembered for his role at the swans, but did play an important role in Sturts 2002 Premiership campaign. 2005 saw him cement his spot in the crows side (was very poor in the finals series though iirc) and 2006 was quite a high vote getter for the crows in the brownlow.

What a servant Cornes was to Port Adelaide. Was, imo, the best CHB in the competition during 2004-2005, and was pivotal in our 2004 premiership side. Loved to be hated and the antagonisation brought the best out of him as a player.

Johncock was unlucky not to at least play in a grand final as a crow. 4 losing prelims across 2002-2012 will hurt, however a leading goalkicker for adelaide in 2003 as a small forward is impressive.

Congratulations to all 3 on fantastic careers.

Brett Ebert has announced his retirement from AFL football this morning.

After 166 games, leading goalkicker for Port in 2007 and the 2003 Magarey Medal- injuries have taken their toll.

Congratulations on a fine career Brett.

Aaron Davey has retired after 178 games with the Demons
Has struggled the last few years but in his day was fantastic. He changed the role of a small forward and became the benchmark many others were compared against.
Melbourne have offered him a coaching role but he hasnt ruled out pulling on the boots back in the NT or at another AFL club if they came calling

Brett Ebert carried the weight of expectation being the son of (arguably) the greatest player in South Australian football history and managed to follow in his fathers footsteps by winning a Magarey Medal as a centreman in the black and white prison bars.

With 240 goals in 166 games at AFL level to go with 63 games and 62 goals at SANFL level.

Well done Brett, its a pity the body has restricted him this year but I would be hopeful (depending on the future) to see him at SANFL level for a year or two yet.

Drafted: 2002 AFL National Draft 3rd round father-son selection from Port Adelaide (SANFL)
AFL debut: Round 2, 2004 v West Coast at Subiaco
AFL games: 166
AFL goals: 240 (3rd most for the Power)
Honours: Magarey Medal 2003,Port Adelaide Magpies B&F 2003; NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2004; All-Australian nominee 2007; Club leading goalkicker 2007; Grand Final side 2007
PAFC. Forever.

Brad Dick and Cale Morton and Jamie Cripps.

Horrible selections. Dustin Martin would fit nicely.

Kossie has been as good as retired for years.

Will most probably knock himself out running through the banner if he plays this week.
