Must be a pretty bad calf injury given that Sydney are still in the hunt for finals.

He’s 36. Calf injuries are never good at that age.

    I did find todays announcement very unusual. No comment from the man himself. They either have something special planned for later in the year, or he’s the new Tom Brady.

    Steven May must be cheering, far less chance of a concussion or tooth loss from those swinging elbows. 

    also something something no chance of a fifth strike something something 😂

    ^ above in jest, of course. I’d have killed to have him in our forward line for the last decade

    Absolute freak athlete and a gun footballer. Was great to watch him at his best.

    Wait until the day you realise that there is no AFL footballer still playing who is older than you.

    At least you're 30! Plenty of youth left!

    Wait until one of your former teammates sons gets drafted. I pulled out the calculator and checked the math twice.

    Turns out the numbers don’t lie. I’m old.

    Burgoyne retiring really hit hard.

    Shaun Burgoyne was the last player my age. At 37 I pulled my hamstring getting out of bed and it was sore for weeks. Seeing him running around at peak AFL condition at the same age and never getting injured was one of the most irreconcilable things I’ve ever seen in my life.

    Slightly misleading in that it looks like he didn’t do much damage against the Lions but he got those 63 goals in 16 games for an average of 3.9 pg.

    Someone at Essendon seriously [censored] him off though cos he smashed them all the way through his career at 3.8 pg.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
