Performed on the big stage (GFs).
Separates the men from the boys!

[Selhurst Saint]

Just watched the presser, very sad but so proud that Lenny is a Saint.

He was all class, wasn't he. As always.

We all love Lenny.

[SteveStevens66]

Never entertained going to another club. That really says it all.

[CarlD]

You always hope that these days never come but knowing in the back of your mind that all players have to leave the game eventually. Lenny was guts and determination personified. Those candy sells ahhh ...
Always gracious - win, lose or draw. All the best to Lenny for the future.

[BakesFan]

I Love Lenny......I am gutted, but can only wish him all the very best.......He would have to be the most respected player in the AFL at the moment.

It doesn't matter where Hayes plays his last game and I'm sure it wouldn't bother him so I don't think anyone's opinion will have any bearing on it. If he chooses to play his last game in Uppercombucter West then it should be good enough for the rest of us.

[Griggsy]

I'm sad

BS. What about the fans? We pay his wages. Sure, it's not our decision but we want to farewell him in his last game. Apart from noddy and dools and a handful few others, many will miss out if it's in Adelaide. Hard to get a ticket at AO.

WHat do you want him, to actually do. Not play the Adelaide game. I booked tickets 3 weeks ago because it was obvious it would be his last game. If you want a ticket you will get one. And im pretty sure his familly is going over as well.

will go to syd or gws imo

The whispers are he is heading to Freo to work with Ross

The whisper is none of those. Player management for a year or two and work part time at the saints is my best guess based on nothing at all.

[saintsRrising]

I have no idea what Lenny will be doing next year.

But now that he has officially retired, I would be betting that a number of offers will be sent his way.

Make no mistake, he is held in the highest regard throughout the football world.

We came over for Burkey and Loeweys farewell. We came over for Milney, Blakey and Kosis farewell. We will be there for Lennys farewell if it is at either MCG v Richmond or here at Adelaide oval for the last game. If they decide to have it in round 20 we will drive over for that as well. We love Lenny. .

He isnt injured that I know of so his last game will be in Adelaide and it will likely be on a Sunday which is a bit of a pity but I have already booked a ticket there. Just not sure when I need to come back.

[bigcarl]

Been an absolute warrior of St Kilda Football Club and no one deserved a premiership more than him. If you want to talk about heart and soul players in the club's history look no furtber

[3rd generation saint]

Thank you Lenny for your great service to St.Kilda Football Club since 1999.
You are a club legend. Any AFL publication where they highlight a champion player and role model, the picture should be of you as you were head and shoulders above the pack.
Hope you enjoy your time with your family and hope we will see you in our coaches box as I feel you would be a great asset as an assistant and senior coach of the future.
Again thanks, will miss seeing you in number 7.

How do you know his last game (injury permitting) will be in Adelaide? Is it a guess based on nothing at all and a hope of yours based on having booked a ticket to Radelaide already?

[wolfpup]

Not surprised really, but still sad.

Awesome, awesome player for us. I thought that he would be our captain.

Not many of the 04-11 crew left now, 3 grand finals, 3 prelims but no premiership.

Sigh...

Unless he is injured we are playing Adelaide in Adelaide as the fixture says. i have no idea what you are talking about SP. Maybe you need to explain for pople who are dumb like me because i have no idea what you are talking about.

[Sobraz]

Has senior coach written all over him.

[saintbrat]

Lenny will be on SEN ( and probably every other station) in the evening programs

[sunsaint]

You have done your job Mr Hayes
but I ask you one more favour - become a mormon, grab a few 6ft wives, and start having boys - with respect

Heard he will be dropped for the final game to "give the kids a go"
