Brett Voss retires

[rogerwa]

one of the few players who can walk away knowing that they gave it a red hot crack

never shirked a contest...has made the right decision

[eppo67]

Great team man and a real nice bloke. Modern game just got a bit quick for him.

Thanks Brett well done.

PS . With the retirements and delistings we should have a fair bit of room come trade time. And if Hamill gets told in December that he cant go on and he does the fair thing by the club we could be in a very good position come trade time.

thanks Vossy

Slowed up notably this year - seemed to be on the outer with Ross Lyon .. probably only had 1 year left in him at best.

Was one of my favourites for his raw courage and his major role in beating the Crows in Adelaide during the 05 finals series

He also wrote my son a thankyou letter - my son wrote Vossy a get well letter after he broke his jaw. We saw Vossy about 6 months after that and he remembered the letter and what my son had written.

The guy was all class - on and off the field.

[St. Luke]

That is a damn shame!! Awesome player , I loved watching Vossy work his magic. Thanks for the memories mate!

[evertonfc]

One of my absolute all-time favourite Sainters.

Absolutely rock-solid dependable and never gave anything less than 110%.

Bled for the RW & B and was capable of delivering under pressure. He was shamefully underrated for much of his career here, but when given the chance in mid-2003, he never looked back and became a staple of our defence.

His first-half of 2004 was amazing - he was unstoppable in defence.

In honour of Vossy, a truly great clubman and a great bloke to have in your team, I've deleted homework's rubbish posts.

[terry smith rules]

huge respect for #13, certainly added something intangible to the team



my favourite vossy moments

the rohan smith tackle (where is a copy) that helped turn the game

True essence of the term "clubman"

Courage, skill and judgement were hallmarks of an awesome career. Vossy you made the most of your talents and left nothing back.

Thankyou for all your efforts and good luck into the future.

[borderbarry]

Thanks Vossy, sad to see you go.

[saintbrat]

Thanks Vossy- take some time to enjoy the kids and rest

time shortened with niggly injuries this year that seemed to halt any momentum you gathered- Glad I saw your last game with Casey- .

[Gilbert The Great]

Great career. Real tough hard and courageous player

[ifonlybarkswashere]

Congratulations Brett on a wonderful career. Your courage, team ethic and the occassional spectacular leap will be missed.

[monica attard43]

good luck with everything you do in the future, brett.

it was a true pleasure watching you play.

i can only hope our future players have as much courage as you.

[st.byron]

anyone know how many AFL games he played in total?

[lovin_dal_santo]

I dont think a game went by without the commentators remarking just how courageous the man was, but I dont think there could've ever been enough of those remarks to truly describe that courage.

Thank you Vossy, good luck with whatever you decide to pursue

[i_luv_nick_riewoldt]

congrats vossy to a great career in footy! You were a great contributor to the the game and saints! You will be sadly missed at stkilda!
enjoy your time off with your family and life after footy!

[westernsaint]

Jeeze,what a shame to lose Vossy, we will miss his versatility. Good luck to him for the future

[OneEyedSainter77]

Oh man, I only brushed over this topic cos I saw Voss and immediately assumed it was Michael - Oh well, thanks for the memories, V2. You were a tremendous servant of the club and worked hard throughout your career. HUge amount of respect to a loyal sainter through and through (even though he bases his parenting on Homer Simpson)

[mischa]

This should probably read "kicked out". No game time at all hardly this year. Anyway all the best BV-great servant, great fighter. Onwards and upwards!

[luke.l_26]

Aw mate.
Vossy was a star. I remember that mark he took in the Prelim in 05 against sydney.
Was the highlight of the night.
He gave his all week in and week out. was one of our quiet achievers.
Top bloke.
Will be missed.
Well done Vossy!

[didzee]

Yep thanks Vossy.
Also would have liked to see a bit more of you this year,
but Ross is boss and a few niggling injuries may have had something to do with it.
Anyway Best Wishes

[Unforgiven]

Well done Vossy, got the best out of himself and one of the more courageous players out there, grats on a great career.

[st.mart]

Always HATED the nickname V2 - which still refers to him as Michael's brother.......great player in his own right, just behind David Grant as one of our best HBFs.......absolutely courageous.....good hands.....good footy brain......only his foot speed that caught up with him, still can play.....which was evident at Casey, where his skill and leadership was exemplary

[Oh When the Saints]

Terrific clubman and a great servant for many years.

Turned his career around and established himself as one of the toughest and most courageous blokes to play for this club.

Has finished with a great career and one to be proud of ... not many blokes can say they got everything out of their football career, but Vossy can.

Good luck V2.

[Gabba]

Great player for the club, always put in the effort and always put his body on the line. Will not be forgotten.

[st_Trav_ofWA]

so long vossy thanx for the service ....... gee we really are going to miss these hard as nails players we need some one to stand up and be our enforcer now more then ever

the metrosexuals now out number the hard nuts even more !!!
