“Football is all consuming, no matter how long your career was, how successful it was, or even how well you prepared for the next stage; the transition is difficult, and there seems no easy way around it. “Or whether you’re a kid like Aiden O’Dirscoll, who was a young man who had dreams of doing what Dusty did - but unfortunately he was medically retired from concussion in his first pre-season. We, the retiring class of 2024, should be incredibly proud.“I hope that we’ve brought pride and joy to our families, our friends, our loved ones, our teammates, our clubs and also to many fans.
“Our playing careers have ended and there are feelings of sadness, grief, uncertainty, anger and anxiety, no doubt.
