I miss the Kouta of '99 and 2000. Hopefully he'll make the decision that is best for him and the club. That may be to play on for another year, or it may be to retire and pursue a media career.
One of my all time favourite Carlton players and it pains me that we'll never get to see just how good he could've been.

Kouta retire simple as that.Lets move on the future

Kouta probably has given me more pleasure as a Carlton supporter than any other player. At his peak he was simply the best. However, it is now obvious that the game has passed him by. It is sad because he has been a great servant of the club. If he didn't get his injuries then he would have been worth the millions no doubt about it (OK perhaps it was still over the top). Anyway, thanks Kouta. This article highlights for those that haven't come to grips with it yet that this will be the last year for the Kouta.

"I'd never thought we'd be in this position and I think we are a far better side than last year," Koutoufides said.

"We're trying our guts out for not much return at the moment but we have faith in each other. I want all fans to stick with us now and into the future as this is a club that's prided itself on success but also loyal support."

He obviously hasn't spent too much time here. And when has Carlton ever been loyal. We have been one of the most ruthless clubs in history. At some stage we just got fat.
