I would have thought if he could play, he wouldn't have retired. Doesn't seem to have a particularly strong tie to West either - everyone talks of his link with the riverland instead.

He loves Waikerie. And Waikerie loves him back.

To play in the engine room for so long has to take its toll on the body.....!

The Great Man must be as strong as a Gorilla.......

The Bones must be starting to feel it.......

Well Done Roo......

Some feel he may become involved with Westies at some level.

And, personally, I'm sure Westies will see more of him (even if as a spectator), which can only benefit the club.

Luke Darcy retired as well, just as much relevance.

Looking at the original post, the question is asked of Westies fans. That makes it relevant to this board I would have thought.
