Andrew McLeod retired

[am Bays]

What a gun. One of very few of whom I have been able to stop the guernsey he wore from impacting on my opinion of him. I guess I can still picture him in the Black & White I love so much.

Saw him get 50+ touches in the Maggies reserves against Norwood one day and knew the name McLeod would be heard for years to come. A true champion of the game.

Liked him even more when he broke up with Lleyton.

June 1994, Port v Glenelg at the Bay, "Who the F*** is this bloke" as runs around the black and gold training cones and slots another....

20 goal thrashing later...

Absolute Champion, one of very few players who could dominate in a big game regularly.

Well done Bunjii.

Reading McLeod's biography now, the account of that meeting was very interesting.

Did a bit of reading on Chris Groom. Was very unlucky to not be successful at the top level.

Obviously you didn't see him play !

Great player, an absolute legend.

ahead of ricciuto as the crows best ever IMO, he's been my favourite in the crows by far (mods and jars below)
absolute jet.
never forget that game he played against the Hawks at footy park in his first year, single handly got us the win. Knew he was going to be a champ then.
shame he couldnt play one more. sort of feels he is the last one to retire, so will miss out on a fair bit of fuss, probably what he would want.

what surprised me was that he won 3 x and B&F's and 5x runners up!!! and forgot he won a michael tuck medal, to go with his 2x norm smiths.

Absolute gun. only player that i can really remember as my favourite during my football watching life. its just not going to be the same without him in the team or the comp..

Good Lockleys lad too McLeod ! Great career, one of the Crows I enjoyed watching. Loved his dig re the farewell game re sooky Edwards .

Well played Bunji.

There was one game, pretty sure it was against Glenelg in '94, where he kicked six from half-forward.

IIRC, it was at Alberton?

Evident to everyone, except perhaps Neesham and Stephen Williams, that this kid could play a bit.

Willo sat him on the bench one day (against West, 1996?)

For the whole game!

What a gun. One of very few of whom I have been able to stop the guernsey he wore from impacting on my opinion of him.

Just like Paul Chapman.

Reading between the lines, it sounded like if he got all jabbed up etc, he could've played on the weekend, but he said no way would he want to impact on the team by keeping a kid out etc etc. A bit like what Goodwin said too. Well that's the way I interpreted it

I actually agree there REB, I think Chappy is a gun and would think this even if he wore black and white!
