Official Josh Jackson Retired Immediately

[Dogs79]

A great club man, and I think this decision proves it again. He has been a true professional and bleeds blue and white, does the dirty work, and at one stage of his career he was arguably the best 2nd row in the game. He’ll be missed for the little things he does on the paddock, the 40+ tackles and the clean up areas most supporters miss. BUT, he is definitely past his best and if we spend the cap space wisely then I’m ok with it. The true supporters, let’s get to the first home game and stand up and be loud in our appreciation for Jacko, he deserves it.

It's a shame that he didn't get the proper send off for his last game and season that he deserved. I'm sure the club will honour him in some way in our first home game and he'll still have a role at the club.

Jacko deserved a premiership for sticking with us

 

[Dognacious]

Shut up dickhead

Usually don't like ppl calling each other this kind of thing...but yeh first thing I thought also.

 

[chemdog]

gonna need someone else to make the tackles like Jackson does each game next year considering we dont really have anyone who can make 40 plus tackles each wk apart from mahoney

 

[Philmus]

Did you hear that near the bubblers at recess?

JAC will be in with a shout. Wouldn't be surprised if Burtons name pops up in the mix either.

don’t see many winger captains

Thank you JJ a true Bulldogs club man, icon of the game who has inspired many young players.
You’ve led by example and your professionalism and dedication will be missed.

Thankyou for your service to the team, the club and the game.

King already does better than Jackson in that regard.

Wow. Just wow.

I mean didn’t see that this year.

Firstly thank you Jackson. You have been the ultimate professional. Both on and off the field.

I dare struggle to list another that would be held as someone who has shown the same love and loyalty to our club the last decade or two.

In years guys like mason, sbw, barba etc broke our heart and guys like Reynolds, Ennis, graham got moved on or let go you stood tall and no doubt effected your personal achievements in rep footy and premierships.

It no doubt took a toll on your body in the role you played for us too.

In your prime you where truly underrated and one of the elite forwards in the game.

That said I believe he’s once again put the club first here. He is no doubt aware he is no longer that player. Father Time, injuries and the games changes have played a part. He’s no doubt stepping aside from a very large contract and allowing the club to speed up the rebuild. To me it says so much about his character and love and loyalty to the dogs. A lot of people say he should retire or do this or that if he loved us. How many would walk from a 600-700k contract? This bloke has. No doubt he’s getting looked after but this just speaks volume of his character to me.

Super excited to see how we use this cap space now! Surely something big coming!!!

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

A big thank you for a great servant of our club. Wish him well in his future endeavours .
Nobody can ever doubt or question his commitment when he put the jersey on.

 

[Interestingg]

I hope his history of concussions didn’t have anything to do with it and that it was his decision. Deserved a premiership

 

[Moedogg]

Typical of Jackson doing a selfless act and putting the club first, he could've chose to see out his contract and get a proper farewell but didn't.

 

[2144superman]

Enjoy retirement Josh Jackson, you’ve deserved it. Well played buddy and thank you for the many memories.

 

[Foxalldayeveryday]

AS MUCH I LIKE OUR SKIPPER JACKSON! THANK GOD HE'S GONE! HE SHOULD HAVE RETIRED AT THE END OF 2020! THE MAN BLED BLUE AND WHITE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE JACKO!

Yeah I remember 2020 towards the tail end he was cactus. God bless him. Well said Omar.

 

[Dogs4eva13]

Wish he could of gone around one more year to enjoy some success. He always gave everything he had a true bulldog. If we had 17 Josh Jackson’s we would never lose a game. Easily my favourite player from last few years. Best of luck.
