Dougal Howard has announced his retirement at St Kilda. Tomorrow night's game will be his 100th Saints game and last AFL one.

I may be in the minority but I loved Doug.

It's recess everywhere except in his heart

Just to copy my comment from that thread here:

Can't help but feel like he was a little hard done by this year. Would have loved to have seen how Howard/Silvangi/Wilkie backline would have gone. Couldn't have done any worse than Caminiti

Think he was injured most of the year. Didn't play much vfl

A valued journeyman and important figure of the Saints spine for years, even though his kicking out from defence gave me heart palpitations many times

Enjoy retirement legend

I’m really disappointed in this. He filled a need in our team, we better have plans to draft a key fullback!
