2009 AFL Retirements

Postby CK » Wed Aug 12, 2009 7:09 pm

Thought it might be worth keeping them all in the one thread as they are announced.

So far:

Adam Simpson (North Melb)
Joel Bowden (Richmond)

Didn't Kane Johnson retire half way through the year?

Has Hall actually retired? He quit the Swans but i don't think he actually said he wasn't going to play again. Could well play for another club yet.

Agreed .. Individual honours probably don't do justice to his career, but not easy snaring awards with a couple of champions he's played with.

Has had a great career and added plenty to the game.
