Castagna announces retirement

I’m currently holidaying in Bali and I nearly fell off my sun lounge when I heard this news. All the best George and thank you for playing your part in our glorious premiership triumphs.
Jeez, that's a shock. One of my favourite tigers ever. What a "skill" set he had. No one could ever question his committment. And many have been close to committment after watching him play. Few won't smile when remembering George in future years.
Best of luck in the future JC.

Well done to the chaos king on a great career. Georgie, Dan and Butts played a key role in 2017 in changing the way we played. His clutch mark and goal in the third term of the 2019 prelim against the Cats and goal just after half time in the 2020 grand final will always stick with me.
I don't reckon a three time premiership player has ever coped as much flack from his own supporters as Georgie. I was guilty of yelling out in frustration at him when he stuffed up. It wasn't a great moment when his wife had to change her instagram to private last year after some fans were bagging Georgie on her page.
Enjoy retirement Georgie. You will always be a three time Tiger premiership champ.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
We certainly have a better class of whipping boy these days. None of these are the howlers of yesteryear.
After this season most of the 2017 premiership team will have retired of left

George had a knack of kicking the critical goal. And being the brunt of heaps of criticism. Watch those same arsehats come on and say nice things about him now.
I honestly think his career was almost ended by the rule changes designed to reduce pressure.
Uh-oh. The Big Refuter will refute this. Can hear him stomping down the hallway right now….
I hear there's a bit of action in the Shorty thread. Do you identify as intellectual, or as paparazzo?
History will judge this fella very well.
The raw numbers are impressive enough but it was the transformative nature of his chaotic playing style that immutably undid the rigid formulas employed by other clubs. When the dirty kick rolled into our forward 50, we were unbeatable.
If you agree that Richmond's recent success was built in large part on unpredictability, thank Jason Castagna for leading the charge.
And raise your glass tonight for a great Richmond man.
