      Bit of a surprise. Good luck to Mitch. I will never forget his role in the 2012 premiership.

      Great that he has plans past football and has done the hard yards to make them materialise.

        A bit sad that he needs to buy a membership from here on.
        He ate more cheese, than time allowed

          he really should of played a lot more games this year. Sad to see him retire at 26, one of my fave players for us even though he only played a handful of games

            Wow.

            I guess there is more to life than footy! I couldn't imagine the mental effort besides physical to play at that level. To have an anxiety issue and still compete would be tremendous. I'm glad he has interests outside of the sport that make him happier or that are more of a challenge at this point in his life. All the best to him! And thanks for the flag! I hope he gets another!

              Best of luck Mitch!

              His goals on GF day will stay in my memory for many years to come.

                    His goals AND that 1 v 2 work to set up Jack. A very totemic act, that one.

                      If i was him and the only thing I could tell my grand kids about was his grand final performance, I'd tell the story with pride!

                        I guess not getting a game would not have done his anxiety much good! Good luck Mitch and thanks.

                          Best of luck Mitch, the only man in history to achieve the AFL premiership/NEAFL goalkicking double.

                            This is such BS. I can't believe he is retiring - this is very sad. Anxiety aside, I bet that if he was getting consistent games this year like he should be, instead of being dropped if he looks at someone sideways, we wouldn't be having this retirement conversation. It wasn't that long ago that he publicly announced that he'd love to stay on with the Swans next year and beyond. IMHO the fact that he knows that he'll always be treated as a 'plan C' has weighed into this decision.

                            Mitch Morton - very talented player. This really sucks.
