Just a side note did anyone else notice after the game when Chol went to shake the great mans hand he was don't argue off.
 
Wouldn’t be surprised if he just quietly exited stage right this week, despite what he might’ve said to manager and club.

Does his own thing and I love him for it.

Nah Carts. The great one is no quitter and won’t leave the club like that.

Said after the game he’ll play the match after the bye. It wouldn’t have surprised me if he did retire after today, but now I think he’ll get to the end of the season, and his contract, then retire.

I’m no medico but it looks like a lingering problem similar to osteopubis or a groin strain.
Can run for a while then nothing. Might also have adhesions from surgery. They are no fun. It’s just not Dusty.

No idea when he pulls up stumps. No surprise if he simply walked away now, even less surprise if he finished the year n simply shuffled off into the sunset.
Been a premium elite player throughout his career n while still capable of bursts n moments of Dusty, Dusty, Dustyness, they're fewer n further in between. There'll be a moment when he realises that he just hasn't quite got enough left in the tank to play often enough at his career standard n hopefully he walks away. Hate to see him just chugging along eking out another season or two on fumes n memories

It's not a financial thing. He probably paid for next year's contract yesterday. I'd like to see him a Breust like sub,
 
I would give him a 2 year deal.

Don’t underestimate what he does behind the scenes. We are in rebuild phase and need him to help with the youth coming through.

100%.

If he can teach a young kmac how to prepare and recover and train yet still have fun that is years of development accelerated.

Which youngster isn’t going to listen?

Ralphsmith quote from yesterday:

“He’s probably been the best trainer at the club in the four years I’ve been here; train the way you play (looks like) his motto.”

I think one year at a time like Richo and Jack.
However, I think he has too much pride to play so far below his best.
