Richo retired at end of 2009 but had a send off pre-game 2010 R1 v Cartoon. Warm humid night I still remember.

Yeah. As good as it was to stand and clap the great man as he walked around the boundary I would have much preferred to stand and clap him as he was hoisted on his teammates shoulders after a game.
There are send offs and then there are send offs
I’ve tried to block that night and most of the other times we played Carlton in that time from my memory. Cheering Richo into retirement was the only good bit about it.

Richo was out for the 2009 season after just 6 games and like Buddy wasn't able to play a final game. Sad, but at least the club did something formal enough to say goodbye. Dimma's 1st game too.
We got done by Cartoon in Dimma's 1st game and I was sweating like a pig at PRE. Humid night couldn't sleep. Just drank water at the game.
As difficult as it is to say let alone accept, it's time for these greatest of champions to make retirement announcements and ride the final wave of their respectively brilliant careers.
Numbers 8 and 9 should be kept under wraps for a few seasons before being handed out again.

Where did that come from? Would surprise me if both played again.
That’s a massive mistake for both boys and the club. Would hate to see them end their careers in the twos. I would equally hate to see them gifted games because of who they are or be forced into retirement pre the mid season draft.
I can’t see an upside to this. Would much prefer they leave now and let the club move on with developing their replacements.
Some strange decisions being made by the club which makes me question if they will choose the right person to coach our team?
They mentioned Mini so it must be the presser he does after today's training.
We don't know that its true yet. Let's wait until it's official. Then we can unload on the club.
Should free up the cap.
Reckon they'll be on 100k each.
Geez, Jackmond really doesn't want Thunder Thighs Cat to go past him!
To benefit from Lynchmob's return?
Twin Towers restored.
Also gets him to 350.
Wow.
Must be managed minutes.
Maybe no interstate trips.
Wow.
Also Mini a lock now?

You'd think so if true. Doesn't show respect to incoming coach IMO as you would think the coach has a big say what their future will entail.
Not necessarily the club has said its up to the players to decide - I think that would be the case regardless of coach.
