Whiteman and Wicks Retire

[Big Phil]

Didnt Sharples' form nose dive from the State game onwards ?????
I saw him late in the season and his form was ordinary at best.

His form did drop off toward the end of the season but I'm pretty certain he was injured just after the state game and missed a fair bit of league footy, thus coming back through the reserves and not reaching his best form. He ended up playing in the Reserves Premierships side but is a talented youngster.

Well done to two SANFL stalwarts on stellar careers. Good luck guys!

End of an Era!
I reckon Wicks was the last player still running around that i actually played against.
or at least the last one that was good enough for me to remember playing against.

Best of luck for Daniel's career at TTG.

[Blue Boy]

Well done to both lads !!!

Especially will miss madness though - he was just so hard and tough and never shirked an issue ( I think the gowans boys will miss him as well ) !!!

Congratulations to both lads on fantastic careers. Incredible players and both well known for being thorns in opposition sides.

As a supporter from another club, the only news that could be better than this is if the Gowans twins announce their retirement..........(Fingers crossesd)
