Agree so much mayo. He knew 6 weeks ago he was retiring & was posing for every photo snap he could.
He was a very good footballer but nowhere near the superstar he's painted to be. Biggest contribution the game was milking free kicks by shrugging the shoulders which was a reason for much of his bandages. If he wasn't given a free kick he was appealing for one. All the scrutiny on Ginnivan but Teflon Joel made a career out of it.
So many dirty plays to opposition behind the scenes.
Honestly reckon he's played a couple of seasons too long but the rule changes helped him & his old team to a flag.
The way he gets lauded by Hutchy's crew makes me want to vomit.
Other than all that good luck to him.
