everyone loved Richo, I liked them more because I thought their contribution was often undervalued

Bowden and Gaspar were your 2 favourites? :-[

I'm not going to say sad to see him go because I'm not but well done to Joel on a very good career.
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!

Sad face.

I'll miss ya Joel. All the best for your future life endeavours.
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!

Did Joel have the presser? Nothing on the club site or the HUN site?


Phantom said:
Well done Joel.

Great to see that both you and Kane have set leading examples to the other twilighters re the team thing.

:clap

Enter Richo.

*Sigh*

Just being "Old" doesn't mean they have to retire.

Barnzy, why don't you get out the voodoo doll and go to work again on an uninjured part of Richo's body, so you can get to work celebrating the man being injured all over again.
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!


Fine player. Underrated. Great servant of the club.

Yep. One of the most underated, misunderstood, intelligent footballers of this generation. Bit many of the monster key forwards despite giving up height and weight.

Richmond Best and Fairest 2004, 2005, All Aust 2005,2006 and the complete modern footballer who could play in any spot on the ground.

Will have a bigger impact off the ground and will make a motza in the coporate world.

He struggled up forward and in the middle and didnt become the player he is until he went down back.

I think he could of been even better than he was.
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!

Well done Joel, a fine and classy performer on and off the field for a long time. He has a lot to offer the game
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!

Well done, Joel. Thanks for the memories and good luck in your future endeavors.
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!

Have done my share of "Joeline" bashing over the years, and more than once the immortal words "GET OFF AND STAY OFF" have escaped my lips. Mind you, he's not the only player I've said that to :p

However, he has been a great stalwart of the club through testing times, often playing on bigger opponents.

Congratulations Joel, sorry I can't be there on Saturday :clap

I still don't understand why this wasn't left to the new coach to decide. I think Joel still has a lot to offer.

Excellent post Scooper. Though as I've been saying all week, I really hope Joel continues the excellent work he does with young indigenous kids.


I feel he could make a real difference to many lives if he went down that path.

I've responded to you on BF

Your work on the Coburg thread that day was particularly disgusting.

Please enlighten me.

No he doesn't. He'd slowed down considerably this season at the elite level.
Some stay one season too long. The time is right to go out.
 
Re: Joel Bowden Press Conference today!

One of the most intelligent footballers of this club and of the AFL. He has had a wonderful career winning back to back jack dyer medals and making the all Australian team. It is a sad day for the club who will say goodbye to one of it's most beloved servants. I will miss you Joel! Good Luck in your future endeavours! :clap :clap
