If he's injured to an extent where he is incapable of performing, don't play him. And if he insists, over ride him!!
A retirement lap at the last home game, a lap on Grand Final Day and we all leave with positive memories, not sitting there thinking WTF are we doing this for!?!!!
The whole team was down today - focusing on one player is not really where it's at. He was moving freely enough. As a few others have said, he really should've retired at the end of season 2015. Whether the club wanted / needed him to stay on, or whether like any AFL player, he thought he could go round again, I guess we'll never know.
