Past 20. Lachie Plowman

[Rustica]

Thanks for everything Plow

Did all the s**t jobs over the years, when every week was a grind. Was a great role player.

Career highlight has to be finishing 3rd in the BnF

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Terrific clubman, rock solid defender, did some heavy lifting over some lean years. A shame he won’t be around for the good times that are coming but he certainly helped create it.

Onya Plow. You should be proud of your 10 year AFL career.

 

[Kramer1]

Appreciate the years of loyal service Plow. Always enjoyed watching you run out in Navy Blue. Enjoy what comes next.

 

[Arr0w]

More heart than many with more talent, tough gig when we were struggling, especially playing on all those different types

Never enough love for Plow

Enjoy retirement

 

[Limestone]

Lots of love for plowman tonight,

Thanks Lachie, played some ripper games

 

[Stamos]

Gave great service to our club. Got his name on the locker. Took all the s**t jobs, and towelled up a lot of gun forwards.
Extremely unfairly maligned by the moronic section of our supporters.
Go well Plow, all the best in your retirement.

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Well played Lachie, proud of your contribution.

 

[KnobHead]

Great innings by the Plow, always gave 120%.

Was never given the easier roles but never dropped his head.

Lots of love for the Plow

Plow was one of the most frustrating footballers I've seen play for the club. You'd have to take the good with the not so good....and every time he'd lead you to the top of the Empire State Building, he somehow found a way of pushing you off.

Having said all that, I have enormous respect for the Plow....you don't get to play 145 games of AFL footy unless you have the ability and drive. AND never shirked being given the hard tasks when asked of him. I recall him giving big Esava an absolute bath a few years back, despite being monstered in both height and weight. A few weeks later the poor bugger was given the task of chasing Charlie Cameron

all over the ground.

Well done to the #20, happy trails, and all the best for a well earned retirement

That bump on O'Meara

 

[Gethelred]

Thank you, Lachie.

 

[carlton_99]

Put a smile on my face. Love the Plow

 

[blues4flag]

One of my favourites. Spent many an hour defending him from those intent on making him a scapegoat, oblivious to the fact that he'd often be given the thankless job of manning up the opposition's best in a leaky and unaccountable defence.

Always gave him all, and had a 50 game patch where he was a genuinely solid footballer, excelling as a high intercept defender. Was suspect on the last line against fast marking threats, but generally did a good job on the smalls.

As maligned as he was, 4 top 10 B&F finishes (including 3rd and 4th in consecutive years) speaks to how respected he was internally.

So disappointed that the club had to disable comments on socials, there sure is a bunch of absolute peanuts out there.

Enjoy retirement Lachie, you've earned it. Thanks for the tireless service during some pretty crap games. 145 games and name on the locker is a fantastic achievement.

 

[athensblue]

Liked the Plow
Had skill and heart
Much maligned
Bit like Thornton bedore him, would have been better players in better sides
Enjoy Plow

Not enough love for Plow.

Longest serving of a complex SOS trade … Adelaide got Menzel, we got Kerridge and pick 28, on-traded the 28 (and 77, 95, the future first received for Lachie Henderson and we got pick 8 - which we used to draft Harry McKay with) for the GWS quartet of Plowman, Phillips, Sumner and Lamb.

Got the oppositions’ small and tall forwards in a team where the midfield did not slow the ball (as Bolton would say, nor under Teague).

3Rd in b&f and a few other top 10 finishes and name on the locker for a century of games in the Navy Blue is a career to be proud of!

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

It’s absolutely gross that the club had to turn the comments off on their tweet. FMD there is still so much work to be done to make us a good club.

Plow was great. As many have said, did plenty of hard, often unnoticed, work during a lean period. Sad he won’t get to enjoy the spoils.

 

[bradfisher14]

Never enough love for the Plow.

Thanks for giving it your all during some of our worst years.

 

[Gointocarlton]

Much the whipping boy (often by yours truly), given all the s**t jobs, punched above his weight, as loyal as they come.
145 games more than this idiot, well done Plow.

 

[The old campaigner]

Gave great service through some dark times. Copped lots of criticism over the journey but always maintained a positive demeanour.
Well done Plow.

 

[Soapy V]

He and his family are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

I wish him all the best in whatever he does. Class act
