Tony Ronaldson announces his retirement

Great career & great bloke. He would have loved another title after his first few seasons under Goorg. At 6'9 & a non jumping athlete with a great perimeter game his body was able to hang in there for the long haul. At 37 i thought he'd play a few more years yet & his massive butt would keep setting those screens for the CJ's & Penneys of the world!

A loss for the league but well done the Bear!!

The Ronaldson legacy;

1. 3 and 1 V Croatia at the 96 Olympics

2. Has a patent on the trailing 3 from the top of the key

3. Big rear end

The Bear may have been born in SA but he classes himself as a Victorian. His father John Ronaldson was recruited from then VFL side Richmond as a ruckman for South Adelaide in the SANFL in 1971, he came over with a wonky knee and only played a few games and returned to Victoria, and playing in the suburban leagues. Tony was born during the short time the Ronaldson family was in Adelaide.

John Ronaldson was the unsung hero of the 1967 Richmond premiership side, kicking three goals, so perhaps the shot that The Bear took against Croatia was a family tradition.

Official BA Announcement: http://linky.com.au/wc5uo

Ronaldson’s career stretches back an incredible 20 years and 662 games (with the remainder of this season still to be played). Amongst the many records Ronaldson holds is the greatest number of games by any player in the NBL, a record he owned when passing the great Andrew Gaze total of 612 during last season. Ronaldson also figures highly on most top ten lists of statistics in the NBL, this season going past 10,000 career points at 15.4 per game.

I still pull out that vid once or twice a year SVD and savour that moment. I still get the tingles down my spine every time ;)

Ronaldson deserves some accolades for sure. Great player over such a long time for a few teams. Will probably be best remembered for his days at the Magic in wining a couple of titles under Goorj.

With his retirement, I believe Anstey and Mackinnon are the last two survivors from the Magic days?

Does anyone know what is happening with Trent. He is not listed on Forestville team list. Heard a rumour he was in Canberra. Does the tute beckon?
