Reigning Jack Dyer Medallist Daniel Jackson has announced his retirement from AFL football, effective immediately.

Wow, didn't expect that. :o

[kilbluff1985]

he was named this weekend but guess he wont make final 22?

[Nige]

I honestly didn't expect this at all, thought he'd go around for at least one more season, but I guess injuries have taken their toll.  :(

I daresay Foley might stay on then for a year or two and we might definitely play hard for somebody like Dylan Shiel now.

This the 'star' who had a falling out with his coach?

[Jroo]

Some talk about it, for the last few weeks but I thought he'd go around for at least one more year.
Only 28, so it's a shame.

yep, Lennon has replaced him in the 25man squad

[shaker]

Wow out of the blue , any reason given ? on the plus side that means another spot for a young bloke nice  ;)

[Vinny]

As if he wouldn't retire after finals and aim to get fit?

[My Chumps]

Wow, hope there's not more serious issues going on here like a Mitch Clark situation.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Thats a shame he had his best season only a year ago.

Said he didn't want to get picked, and then not be able to make it through the game which would hurt the team

28 is young, but his injuries are hampering him it seems

oh wow... that is the biggest surprise of the off season (more than Ryder and Lumumba) so far...

[Capper]

Wow LF just PMed me about this. Very shocked
