    Re: Lachie Hunter

    He is like many of our players, if he's not 100% switched on he turns into a liability who cooks his own head and can't do the basics right.

    Not sure if it's maturity, or complacency, both or something else.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

    Lachie Hunter has retired. Stranded on 199 games. Just like choco royal.

    Re: Lachie Hunter

    Premiership Player (played every game in 2016 and had the most disposals for the club that year)
    Charles Sutton Medal (2018)
    199 games
    80 goals
    2019 Vice Captain

    At his best he racked up disposals for fun and influenced games with his ability to find the ball and use it intelligently. Just very sad the way his career finished after his life away from football started to really impact his on field form from 2020 onwards.

    Re: Lachie Hunter

    My memory is that he started his career poorly, elite in the middle, and ended poorly. I'll remember the middle the most.

    On ya Lachie, hope it's onwards and upwards for him in life post footy.

    Forever a bullgod indeed.

    Another one of the 2016 premiership players bites the dust. It's been a crazy ride.

    Hunter - moved on and fizzled out and retired early
    Dahlhaus - moved on and fizzled out and retired early
    Smith - retired early due to injury. Peaked injury free at the right time.
    Wood - Retired expectedly
    Moyd - Retired expectedly
    Toyd - Retired early
    Roughead - Moved on and retired early
    Biggs - fizzled out and retired early
    Roberts - fizzled out and retired early
    Hamling - moved on, got injured. Never did much.
    Picken - retired earlyish due to concussion
    Dickson - retired expectedly
    JJ - still going
    Bont - still going well
    Daniel - still going well but fading
    Macrae - still going well but slowing down
    Stringer - moved on and was largely ineffective
    McLean - fizzled out and retired early
    Libba - still going well but slowing down
    Cordy - moved on and fizzled out
    Morris - retired expectedly
    Dunkley - moved on doing well

    Basically half the side was moved on or retired early. Those that moved on have pretty much done nothing outside of Dunkley and 1 season for Roughead.

    Everything really did come together that year.

    Good summary, probably just disagree with saying Roughead retired early. Think he milked his body right to the end and got a few extra years at the pies.

    Re: Lachie Hunter

    The tennis game between us and Dees is underwhelming us both.

    Dees serve… Top spin Hannan down the middle
    Dogs lunge down the middle and backhand Hunter
    Dees chase down cross court with Harmes
    Dogs well placed with the forehand down the line with Schache
    Dees with the passing shot with Baker. Unbelievable!

    Just stop swapping players with each other. Millions and millions of dollars while kids starve in Africa.
