A sad end to one of the greatest careers I've ever seen, he truly stacks up with all the greats. Could do anything and everything on the park, and was still performing at the top level at 35.
I'm a bit shattered so many here are getting stuck into him for not wanting to attend the brownlow etc. I can't possibly see how that is self-indulgent behavior. He's planning to spend time with his family and head overseas. Seems like a pretty normal thing to do, doesn't want fanfare etc. That would constitute as pretty humble in my books.
Love you Goodesey!
