Very tough day for Lin Jong announcing his retirement today after 10 years and 65 games. Injury robbed him of 100 plus games I reckon. He never left anyone wondering about his commitment once he crossed the boundary line. He was always in the thick of the action and played a big part in two Club Premierships. Thanks for your dedication to the cause.

Thanks Jongy for you commitment to keep persisting through those cruel injuries and fighting to play. I enjoyed watching you in AFL and VFL and you were a great ambassador for the club. Your Mum Faith was always so lovely to chat to during games. I’ll always remember the excitement of you being a bull in the clearances, your tough tackling and taking some strong overhead marks.

All the best with you life after footy. I recall you plan to be a teacher and I reckon if your as committed to teaching as you were to getting every ounce out of yourself throughout the last 10 years then the students you will teach are fortunate indeed.

I feel for Lin Jong. A great clubman who just never got a good run at it. Great to have seen him play in both the 2014 and 2016 VFL premierships which I attended at Docklands - went onto the ground after we won the 2014 VFL flag. I wish him all the best for what comes next and as other woofers have said would be great to keep him at the club in some capacity.

I looked for a thread but could not find one on page 1 and page 2 - and I still can't! Your link works but I can't see the thread on page 1 or 2 of the forum. And I checked again to make sure.
