Re: Cheers Sammy Fisher!
I just saw the announcement.
We all knew it coming but I still feel like someone has plunged a knife through my heart. I hate losing our icons.
Thanks Chips, you should be proud of your career.

The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

Punched above his weight in his later years, one of the best readers of defensive play in the modern era.
hope he hangs around in some role

Great career, Sam. Brilliant reader of the play. He should be very proud of his achievements. Now time to get the golf handicap down below zero and hit the pro tour !

Re: Cheers Sammy Fisher!
Could always relax a little when an opposition bomb would be coming in and I looked down to see Sammy had already worked his way under it.
Enjoy your next phase. Hope it leads to plenty of time for golf.

I cannot see the rush to recruit McGlynn as an assistant coach, when the club were aware that Sam was retiring. He has held our defence together for years.

Re: Cheers Sammy Fisher!
Great player. One of the best intercept marks in the game.
Remember him playing a lone hand in the drawn Grand Final in the first half...basically kept us in it til the rest of the team woke up.
Terrific career.

Re: Cheers Sammy Fisher!
I think t's indicative of the fact the club won't be putting him on as a coach, for whatever reason. I thought he'd get a role similar to what Schneider did when he was rookied. That looks as though it's off the agenda.borderbarry wrote:I cannot see the rush to recruit McGlynn as an assistant coach, when the club were aware that Sam was retiring.

Re: Cheers Sammy Fisher!
Well done Sammy Fisher. A great player for the Club, over 10 years of being a consistently fine player and one of the best defenders going around. It saddens me to see another player from that group retire without a Premiership.
Good luck and thank you Chips.
