I love jobe
None of the other retirement press conferences had even close to that many smiles, or that much grace
i’m not crying you’re crying.

Way too good for the AFL. It’s almost embarrassing that a person of his quality has to be associated with this league.

Sad in many ways but yes, the right decision. Always a man of integrity.
Held the club together, as we know, in our darkest hour.
A true hero of our club.

Leave that to the “Tinsel Twins”, Jez & Juz!!!
It’s a sad day but it was somewhat inevitable. It’s always sad when champions of the game move on but this is doubly sad given what he’s had to endure. This bloke has had his prime years ripped away through no fault of his own. Driven out of the game for a season by corruption & had the highest individual honour taken from him. He was denied any chance of the ultimate success by being a victim of circumstance. I feel REALLY sad for Jobe. Of course he has other things to occupy himself with & he’ll no doubt live his recent dream in NYC but I can’t help but feel this is an unfulfilled talent we’ve seen walk away. That is the tragedy in all this. Best of luck to Jobe, I wish him every possible success.

Wanted to try and leave the saga out but ■■■■ it.
This man committed the most selfless act in the recent history of our club. Whether purposely or inadvertently he made himself the face of the saga. He made himself the public face of the whole thing. He made himself the face of the suspended group.
He took a huge bullet for his teammate’s and the club
He did this, copped all the flak and still carried himself to a level that I think I can comfortably say none of us would even get near given the same role

Tough for me to really add anything… agree with so much said already, particularly the lament that goes with the game chewing him up and spitting him out. He deserves so much better. History better farking look upon him more kinder and gentler… him and his former coach both.
I won’t soon forget the morning I spent in Boulder, Colorado a few years ago with Jobe and some of the other boys… we had a very nice, long conversation about all sorts of things. He talked to me like we could have been acquaintances. I’m sure the uniqueness of my situation interested him, but I could sense he appreciated the idea of finding someone with knowledge and passion for his game and his team in a very unlikely place.
I have no doubt of this man’s integrity and character… it is truly sickening to see how much mud still sticks. May time have mercy on his image and on the souls of all who have defamed him.

Warning everyone to watch his address to the players in a private place as you will be crying for pretty much the entirety of it
what Jobe has brought to this club and to football is as X said, immeasurable
you just can’t praise this bloke enough

He dragged us over the line too many times to count over the last decade. What a champion.
WOB needs to do the pre match rev up. Give Jobe one last hurrah!
Also did anyone see at the very end of the press conference Tanner knocked the football off the table and made a funny face? Needs a gif!
Get out your youtube highlight clips folks

I had a feeling when Tim wasn’t on SEN on Mondsy morning that this was coming. Then when he said he’d been in Glenmaggie - it makes sense
Then ■■■■■■■ Robbo comes out saying Jobe deserved better, addressing it at Essendon.
He deserved more from you ■■■■■ as well Robbo, maybe you could have done some research and written a ■■■■■■■ balanced article in the last 4 years.
Sorry, for bringing it up. Just ■■■■■■■ hypocrites.
