Retirements

Postby sydney-dog » Thu Aug 02, 2007 10:28 pm

With so much talk of the coaching merry-go-round, we seem to have lost focus on the amount of quality players who have retired or who may pull up stumps at the end of the year

The potential list of retirements include

Darcy
Kouta
Hird
Archer
Bell
Harvey
Grant
Roo
Buckley
Wakelin's

The loss of Darcy and Grant will hurt the WB, the club is not overly blessed with Talls

3 Brownlow medallists in that lot - around 5 club captains.

A big exodus of great players - add Wangas & Voss 2 more Brownlow medallists who retired last year.

Could be quite a farewell lap of honour in the cars on GF day

Yes - I doubt any of them could jog around.
EPIGENETICS - Lamarck was right!
