rihmond full back darren gasper has announced his retirement as of today

a little bitter about being told he would not be played regardless of form

tigers must be conceding the year already

Wow. Gasper made to retire by Richmond. Hardly a retirment then, more like a sacking.

Interesting that while he won't be playing, he is staying on with the Tigers to help out with their young backmen.

We'll give him a game for the rest of the year!

yeah as he said he has 2 good games, 2 games where he got the job done and 1 below par

as said he was very dissapointed to be told he wouldnt be selected again

i dont think i could work at the place you as said have just been sacked from playing with

So Richmond are conceding the season already.

I wonder if any Melbourne players should be worried. Holland and Brown must be getting nervous.

id add ward to that to, maybe even wheatley

I remember the same thing happening to andrew leoncelli a few years back. Very ordinary decisions by the respective football clubs.

Terry Wallace is a genius. If he wasn't going to play him in favour of youth five matches into a season why recontract him at the end of last year.? Maybe I just don't understand.

I think there's a fundamental difference between Melbourne and Richmond on this score. Richmond has never really embraced Coburg as a partner and with a player like Gasper it was never a tought to continue playing out the season helping younger players develop in the VFL by playing alongside them. I think that Doggy and Dutchy would stay and work to help the club at Sandringham.

Whether it helps in the long run I don't know because Sandringham's success doesn't seem to be rubbing off on Melbourne.

Sad end for gasper. He should have been given a proper send off, chaired off by a winning team.

He should have stayed in Sydney.

Hats off to gasper, he was a true 90s gem.

Well done on a good career Darren.

was one of the best fullbacks for a while. very solid. pity he couldnt kick. but well done on a good career all the same.

did his brother used to play for us? damien

tough luck gasper good luck in reitrement
