[Kit Walker 225]

Essendon - Mal Michael (retired)

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Essendon - Courtney Johns (delisted)

[Robbo_24 0]

personally i think Yze and perhaps White will be added to our traded list very soon, Jamer and Johnson can take White's place and Yze hasn't got his old fury...

[Eastie Boyz 0]

Jason Johnson and Damien Peverill, as implied by Matthew Knights, will be given farewell games.

It might be just my imagination but I thought West Coast may have had another retirement and also Hugh Minson from Port retired earlier this year due to knee problems

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Freo - Matthew Carr (Retired)

[Rogue 585]

Adelaide's Biglands is retiring:

http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tab...px?newsId=65743

[H_T 3,043]

Nigel Lappin contemplating retirement. Matthews "officially" pondering Lappins career may be over for the 32 year old.

http://www.lions.com.au/tabid/5085/Default.aspx?newsid=65748

[Rogue 585]

Lappin's gone:

[Rogue 585]

Freo - Mark Johnson done.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

North Melbourne - Shannon Grant to retire at season's end:

[Eastie Boyz 0]

White and Yze won't be at Melbourne (though I'm sure everyone knows that by now!)

Wouldn't be surprised if someone picked up Lee from Essendon (though at the same time I expect him not to be)

[QueenC 74]

Nathan Bassett announces retirement

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Greg Tivendale has been delisted by Richmond, and, like Yze and White, will 'put his hat in the ring' next year:

Not at you titan. at Tivendale.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

I think Gehrig has said he will retire (not sure though).

Maybe add Leigh Matthews as well...

[45HG 1,539]

Bode and Weetra are now gone, no surprises

[Nasher 33,607]

Believe me now Kit? :D

[Kit Walker 225]

Believe me now Kit? :D

Absolutely

Obviously rookies don't get two year contracts when they are uplifted permanently.

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Fremantle rookie Ryley Dunn has been delisted

http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/tabid/7009/D...px?newsid=66998

[titan_uranus 24,980]

And Sydney's Ben Mathews has retired effective immediately

[H_T 3,043]

Robbie Warnock leaving Freo.

[H_T 3,043]

Jess Sinclair gone.

http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tab...px?newsId=67442

[titan_uranus 24,980]

Wakelin and Lonie call it quits

[45HG 1,539]

Wakelin went to Pies for pick 49? Sounds crazy now
