AFL: Hulking forward Charlie Dixon has announced his retirement, after playing 221 games with the Power and Suns.
As the 2024 football season draws to a close, so have the careers of 25 AFL players that have called time.
“We all achieved our dreams to varying degrees, which is a privilege that we should never lose sight of. Equally as important, is casting an eye to the future - and the truth, surprisingly, is that there is a life after football, which is a relief. Josh Carmichael won seven of the eight games he was named in at AFL level The former club captain’s 14-year career at the Bombers came to a close in 2024, tallying a grand total of 253 games in the red sash. One of the club’s most influential players of the modern era, the 32-year-old led his side amid between 2017 and 2022, straight after the infamous drug saga. Heppell has a long-time connection with the young Harrison Pennicott, who has been diagnosed with Sclerderma.
Tom Hawkins has retired as one of the modern era’s greatest forwards - with only four AFL players this century finishing their career with more goals The Irish larrikin in Zach Tuohy announced his retirement not long after teammate Tom Hawkins, finishing his career with 288 games at the top level.
Angus Brayshaw had 25 disposals and a goal in Melbourne’s 2021 premiership to end as one of the Demons’ best players for the flag The key forward – famously known for his ultra-long run up and guernsey #50 – retired at age 31, having played 175 games in a career spanning across both North Melbourne and Melbourne. Standing at two metres tall, Brown kicked an impressive 360 goals in 11 seasons – including a 10-goal haul against Port Adelaide in 2019.
The ‘cannon’ left-foot kick of Trent McKenzie was one of the more iconic player attributes of anyone in the league across the 2010s The most recent of the 25 retirees to call it quits, Charlie Dixon retires a two-club player – and like long-time teammate Trent McKenzie – an inaugural Sun. The 200cm tall, who kicked 357 goals from his 221 games at the top level, moved to Alberton at the end of the 2015 season, and was named an All-Australian in 2020.
