Which is why clubs have rookie lists.

Used to watch him as a junior playing for South Melb Districts. A truly talented kid who had a very unhappy homelife and I am sad to see him forced to retire.

If he does retire does that mean Hawks cannot elevate a rookie?

Cats had the Nablett retire...who is still on their list.

Which is another issue entirely.

Massive waste of talent there - sad to see.

Good luck to both in thier future lives away from football.

i used to really rate him as a player and was dissapointed when he moved from the bombers because he was probably the only bombers player i liked

Can we please keep this one quiet, I have a couple of mates with him in their super coach teams

Apart from that it is always a shame to see a player forced into retirement, hopefully he is prepared for a life outside of football, good luck to him...
