End of an era - Rama, Johnson, Peverill, Michael set to retire
August 25th 2008 08:19
It will be a sad but proud moment for the Essendon football club when Damien Peverill, Jason Johnson, Mal Michael and Adam Ramanaskaus take to the field this weekend against St Kilda.
All four players have announced their resignations on the back of a disappointing season for the Bombers, who are now well and truly out of contention for the top eight.
Ramanaskaus and Johnson both played in the memorable Essendon premiership side of 2000, while Michael is a multi-premiership winner with the Brisbane Lions.
It is the end of a long and illustrious football career for all four players, who have overcome much hardships to share in the glory of the game.
None more so than Adam Ramanauskas, who valiantly fought off a recurrent malignant form of cancer to return to the senior Essendon side.
Their presence, both on and off the field, will be sorely missed.
