The wee man has been a whipping boy of late, but is a Premiership player, a great team mate and club man and has given his all for the Black and White over the journey.

Well done Jarryd, you left nothing on the park.

Great trier. Got absolutely everything he could out of himself. A premiership player forever.

Legend. Greatest CHF under 5'8" that we ever had. Played his guts out every game.

Endorse everything that has been said. Why can't we keep him as captain of our VFL team?

The wee man had a giant of a heart and helped us win a Premiership. Well played Bilbo.

One of a few to kick 5 goals against the scum.

He copped too much flak from our supporter base over the years and deserved more respect.

Blairy can leave with his head held up high for everything he achieved and for leaving no stone unturned. Many talented players don't fulfil their potential or make the most of their career, but Blair deserves all the credit he receives for getting everything out of himself and giving his all for the club.

Some of my favourite Jarryd Blair moments:
- His goal in the 2010 Grand Final.
- Five goals against Carlton in round 3 2011.
- Kicked the winner on ANZAC Day 2012.
- Kicked the impossible goal from the boundary line against GWS in 2016.

A great servant of the club and a premiership player, which will always be etched next to his name.

Thank you for the memories, Blairy.

Well said Jezza! This bloke always gave his all for our great club and can hold his head high. Well done champ and all the best for the future. You will always hold a special place in the hearts of true supporters as a premiership player.

I am a long way away here in Cairns, but thx to technology, I watched a lot of the VFL this year. I was never a Blair fan, I thought he robbed Paul Medhurst of a premiership Medallion. But his efforts in the VFL this year were tremendous. Intensity in the manner he showed, you CAN NOT buy!! Sorry to see him go and if it is his wish, he could slot into any midfield in the comp, no probs!!

I must admit I did feel a twinge of sadness when I read that he had been delisted.As others have said he always gave 100% whenever he played,he was a great clubman,and a premiership player to boot.And that�s something that no-one can take away from him.All the best on your retirement,Jarryd.You had a good career.
