In any event, I don't have any problems with Swans persuading him to stay (if that's what they've done). In fact, I think we really need him to stay on as I'm not as upbeat about Nankervis as many on this site.

    I wonder if he (and they) are holding off to see what falls out of the trade period. If we get Sinclair, then Pyke might go ahead with the retirement, otherwise he might hang on for one more year.
    Radio Triple M announced this Morning that Mike Pyke will definitely retire. But then again it is triple M who said it???

      I'm loving the speculation.
      Has anyone asked Myke?
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

          He's probably busy on a work junket in Bangkok with his corporate buddies getting up to antics that would put football players to shame

                Now that we've got Sinclair, he's probably really putting the pedal to the metal now! Good luck to him, whatever he decides.

                  Pyke officially retired as per his Twitter.

                  Thanks for the memories, one of the all-time great Australian sports stories.

                        He will leave a legacy that will be remembered, especially the 2012 GF. You taught the commentators who mocked you a real lesson.

                          Mike Pyke is a classy guy. Great retirement pic. I was a big fan and it's sad that he struggled the past 2 seasons with injury after having such a stellar 2013. He gave it his best and he's left on his own terms. Congratulations Mike.

                            Surely its poor form that the Swans have not made an announcement on its web site. This retirement has been handled poorly.

                                I disagree, it was his call obviously being contracted. The club let him handle it and told us he was weighing up his options when asked. Here we are.
