    Rumour: Surprise retirement

    We're in 'friend of a friend' claiming to have a 'source close to the Swans' territory here, so feel free to call bull********:

    "A senior Swans player will announce his surprise retirement on the morning of the grand final."

    First thought: Maxfield (surely he won't play on next year)
    ...but there was a strong indication that it is another player.

    Paul Williams couldn't retire, could he?

          Maxfield wouldnt surprise. Williams is a possibilty. So is Magic.

              Wouldn't have thought maxfield would be a 'surprise' retirement. Could well be Willo.

                  Stephen Doyle? Heath James? Both could hang up the boots due to injuries....

                  If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                      Could be Willo. Retiring with a Premiership medal wouldn't be the worst thing to go out on.

                              Maybe it's Schauble - had a gutful of being left out of the side so is heading to Africa to work as a missionary?

                                  Micky O or Willo would be huge losses.

                                      Roos - will quit and join his mate Pert in the corporate world.

                                              We've actually got quite a few who could do it - Fixter, James & Doyle because of injuries or those mentioned previously due to a mixture of age, injuries and it being a good time to retire.

                                                  God I hope not, although his body has been through the wringer. However, Micky O is only 28, 29 next year.
                                                  Well somebody told me, You had a boyfriend, Who looks like a girlfriend,That I had in February of last year, It's not confidential, I've got potential

                                                      I can't recall exactly where I read/heard it, but now that you mention Fixter, talk of him retiring springs to mind.

                                                      Soooo.....if my vague memory serves me correctly, it will be Fixter.
