Players probably say a lot of things while high on the adrenalin of a final, but then a few days after they think about another long hot off season and they reconsider their earlier words.tigertim said:

Retired is just a sweet way of saying he got nudged. Would have happily played on if there was a space for him, but with an ageing core to the list n some youngsters still requiring the opportunity to become generation next. There was always going to be someone getting nudged out, bloke can't complain to loud, took a punt hoping to snaffle a flag toward the end of his career. Bastard wound up with a threepeat n a Normie in his back pocket. Not a bad way to finish your career in any type of arena.
Brian stood up in big finals again as a composed, confident leader down - the polar opposite of our panicky General Chaplin.

except in the 1st final when Kennedy gave him a bath.
did he play on Jenkins who kicked 4 in wk 2?
he was good in the GF tho. certainly a good way to retire, 3 straight premierships.
