I loved his game against Essendon* in that final last year. Probably his best game for the club. In a way it was fitting for all his loyal service over the years that one of his best was in a winning final.

Thanks for everything if you're reading bret

Can understand the match committee's frustration with his dummy spits and lack of defensive pressure, also the excessive chip sideways mentality when played in defence, but realistically should have been played a lot more when injuries hit this year. His main problem was that the big issue with him a a forward was something that was/is well within his power to rectify - defensive pressure. It is not like he is slow as a a wet week or struggling with injury issues that curtail his ability to chase, he seemed simply not to get the message that this what was required of him. Fix that up and he would have been in the side regularly, which would heave been a win-win outcome.

For all of that, a fine servant of the club over some hard times and hard done by in the last couple of years, sad to see him go but completely understandable on both sides.

I sent him an sms. congratulated him on a really good carreer with the blues and these are the thoughts of many blues fans. he should be proud of what he achieved . he's a really nice guy , a gentleman so to speak and very humble. i hope he a gets a gig somewhere

Great servant of the club.Good player when we were ordinary.All the very best in your future pursuits.Hope he gets a gig with an AFL club where for mine he would be of value.
