End of season retirements....

[CENTURION]

What has gone wrong with Bartemucchi? I thought that he was a very handy player!

What has gone wrong with Bartemucchi? I thought that he was a very handy player!

He has been in the past, played 138 games. Missed the early part of 2008 and although he was a regular member of the side, really failed to regain the zip he used to have.

But why? What went wrong in such a short space of time?

There was a nice little article in today's paper on Luke McCabe from Centrals...

As expected, he has decided that Sunday's Grand Final will be his last game for the Doggies. Let's hope he can go out with a premiership.

The farmer from Hamley Bridge said after retiring at the end of season 06, the year off helped freshen up the body but after the rigours of another season, an increasing workload on the farm and a young family, the former Hawthorn defender will hang up the boots for good after the decider on the weekend.

Well done to Luke McCabe on a fabulous career both with the Hawks and the Doggies, good luck in retirement.

[Slots It Through]

Yes well done AGAIN..... See you in 2010.

Simon Feast might have hung the boots up after leading the team off the ground after the prelim final, has anyone heard if he has retired or not??

If true, a sad way for a champion to bow out!

[sturtpeter]

Given simon's outstanding service to my beloved Blues I hope he plays on in 2009, however, he'll soon be 34

[eaglehaslanded]

Well, I know that it WON'T be THE MESSIAH, aka Chris & James Gowans!
Probably be Cowan, Griffen (a loss, not retirement), McCabe & Steinberner, that's about it but look out end of 2009!

Griffen - a loss (where do you think he's going ?)

[Dogwatcher]

There's trade talk isn't there? Or delisting?

[shark park]

Colville has already retired.

Heard he has signed on with his old team mate Steven Hall at Henley.

[GWW]

Mark Clayton and Hargreaves have apparently joined fellow Magpie Tom Carr in announcing their retirement.

If Jezza has done his achilles then I asuspect that his days are truly numbered as a player.

[NO-MERCY]

Is it true all of the Port Magpie Assistants & skills coaches have retired?

[heater31]

Mark Clayton and Hargreaves have apparently joined fellow Magpie Tom Carr in announcing their retirement.

I got conflicting reports today regarding Hargraves at his place of employment's family fun day which he attended. One was he is continuing for 1 more year and the other was that it was the end. However I did keep a steady supply of Bourbon and Coke to him over the bar after a social game of cricket

[bayman]

i heard hargreaves has already signed with gepps cross

[NO-MERCY]

I heard he'll be at Torrens Valley next year.

[bayman]

he'll be busy then

[mpgirly]

hargraves, tom carr and mark clayton have definitely retired from magpies. no news regarding any coaches leaving whether assistants or not

[TroyGFC]

Bodey.
Heard Scotty Lewis (Clare)

[backflanker08]

I heard Bryce Campbell looking for a new home too...

Leaving the Parade. I believe Constance Perm would know something. The reports im hearing, does not rate the coach...

Not the 1st player to say that though.
