Collingwood defender James Clement has shocked his club by announcing his retirement from AFL football.
The Magpies vice-captain played 230 games, including 146 for Collingwood after joining the club from Fremantle in 2001.
His announcement comes just two days after the Magpies were knocked out of the 2007 AFL finals series in a five-point defeat to Geelong in their preliminary final.
Verdict :
This is a bit of a shock, Jimmy Clement shouldn't have pulled the pin like this, he at least should have announced his retirement during the season, it's a shame really - as a Collingwood supporter I would have liked the chance to farewell Clement and show some appreciation - after all Jimmy has been a champion for the pies for several years, it leaves me wondering how many other Pies will call it a day and not get the farewell they truly deserve.
