2009 AFL Retirements

[Zorro]

Scott Lucas

270 games (8th of all time for Essendon)
471 goals (6th of all time for Essendon)
Best first year player 1996
Most improved 1997
2000 premiership player
B & F 2003 & 2006

Great career Scott

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.

Interesting stat that one, best first year player then backed it up by improving by a large amount in his 2nd year.

Nathan Brown unfortunately was never the same again after that sickening break of his right leg early on in 2005 when Richmond were flying - under new coach Terry Wallace - and he was arguably the best player in the competition up to that point that season.

NEWLY retired Magpie Anthony Rocca is looking to follow in his older brother Saverio's footsteps and become a National Football League punter in the United States of America.

Matthew Lloyd calls it quits

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/ ... fault.aspx

I heard today that Lloyd wants to go into the media. God I hope not. An excellent footy career but if you struggle to string a sentence together, and the tone of your voice sounds less interesting than anyone else in football, and doesn't change at all, the media may not be your thing.

But a top career for Lloyd, not many have achieved what he has.

Perhaps he got out before he had to run into campbell brown next year

I knew Anthony was screwed as soon as he did his achilles - mine completely ruined my AFL career

Why didn't you try out for the NFL then?

I did play for the Eastside Razorbacks for one year but before I did it
