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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
