Press conference at 12.30pm today.

http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/kouta-ca...5647867497.html

Former Carlton captain Anthony Koutoufides will announce his AFL retirement today following a celebrated career spanning 278 games.

Koutoufides, 34, is understood to have aggravated a hip injury during Saturday's 10-point loss to St Kilda.

With the 14th-placed Blues well out of finals contention, Koutoufides has decided to retire, effective immediately.

He is a two-time Blues best and fairest winner and was also one of the stars of the club's most recent premiership in 1995.

Koutoufides will officially announce his retirement at a media conference at Princes Park at 12.30pm (AEST) today.

Kouta to coach the Blues whilst also doing his apprentership as assistant coach at the Demons and Bombers.

Kouta was quoted as saying, "yeah I know i'd have to work a 140 hour week, but if there's one retiring player who can move straight into a coaching and dual assistance role, it's me, Kouta."

I know you were being funny, but I wonder who'll succeed out of Kouta, Voss, Buckley or Hird as coaches?

Best of luck for the future Kouta. You have played very well in your time and whatever you do go and do it

Kouta was an absolute champion in 99 and 2000 until he hurt his knee. That event deprived him of some key votes in the Brownlow.

Ask any Carlton supporter: they regard Woewoedin with loathing, calling it a chocolate brownlow (their comment, not mine)

Me, watching Kouta at this best was always a treat. Pity he wasn't around in the 2000 Prelim against Essendon.

If Woewodin didn't win the 2000 Brownlow West would have. Not Kouta. And I'm guessing not even Carlton supporters would refered to it as a 'chocolate Brownlow' if that was the case.

Congratulations Kouta on a terrific career.

I have a framed signed Kouta jumper I picked up at a silent auction about 7 years ago for $100.......the frame itself is worth more than that.

Will it go up in price now he has retired?

Only Problem with Kouta was he played for Carlton, and i trully hate those lying cheats. So i could never appreciate his talents as he was wearing that foul Jumper.

Sorry ut i hate carlton. The Idea of them recieving a Prioraty pick this year makes me sick

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
