You can hope all you want but it’s been proven for the past 4 seasons that getting anything close to 75% of the season in playing time just isn’t going to happen.Let’s get him right for round 1 and pray to god he can stay on the field for at least 75% of the season. If we can get some decent footy out of him then we’re a big chance of playing finals footy.
Because if we don't have him retire don't rule out the possibility of our club being dumb enough to sign him again lolNo.
What’s the point of retiring him now with 1 year on his contract? Even if we did get cap dispensation through a medical retirement, it’s too late now to find any sort of quality replacement.
It’s a signing that should never have happened in the first place but at this point we’re stuck with him.

Yep - key word: hope. What’s your better solution though?You can hope all you want but it’s been proven for the past 4 seasons that getting anything close to 75% of the season in playing time just isn’t going to happen.
Hopefully the back end of the season when we make a push for finals footy... HopefullyNo.

We won’t replace him with the exact same type of player but having over a million freed up in the cap would be a massive bonus. I don’t agree at all that we couldn’t improve the squad with that money between now and the start of the season.Yep - key word: hope. What’s your better solution though?
We are zero chance of replacing him with any quality/experience to our squad for next season.
Surely it’s worth at least trying to get something out of him on the field. Worst case - his injury run continues and our young halves have a mentor/leader figure to aid their development.
We have absolutely nothing to gain at this point in time from retiring him.
