All 3 have been fantastic servants to SA Football.
Mattner will most likely be remembered for his role at the swans, but did play an important role in Sturts 2002 Premiership campaign. 2005 saw him cement his spot in the crows side (was very poor in the finals series though iirc) and 2006 was quite a high vote getter for the crows in the brownlow.
What a servant Cornes was to Port Adelaide. Was, imo, the best CHB in the competition during 2004-2005, and was pivotal in our 2004 premiership side. Loved to be hated and the antagonisation brought the best out of him as a player.
Johncock was unlucky not to at least play in a grand final as a crow. 4 losing prelims across 2002-2012 will hurt, however a leading goalkicker for adelaide in 2003 as a small forward is impressive.
Congratulations to all 3 on fantastic careers.

Has struggled the last few years but in his day was fantastic. He changed the role of a small forward and became the benchmark many others were compared against.
Melbourne have offered him a coaching role but he hasnt ruled out pulling on the boots back in the NT or at another AFL club if they came calling

One of those "retirements"?

Well done Brett, its a pity the body has restricted him this year but I would be hopeful (depending on the future) to see him at SANFL level for a year or two yet.
