Hope he's captain again next year, but if not, what an amazing final captain's performance.

Think it's already been reported that he will hand the captaincy over next season.

What a privilege to see the great man in action today. A masterclass delivered . Glad I was there to witness one of our greatest ever at his best. On that form he has at least two good years left in him. Get to work on Catherine, as she might need some convincing for 2018 and beyond. I'd love to see him captain until he claims the record, but typical of the man, he doesn't seek personal glory. On another note, despite the fact he's a renowned ball player, he receives terrible treatment from the umpires. With all the holding, pushing and arm chopping, he could'Ve kicked twelve or more today, if the "egos in lime and grey" had been fair dinkum. What does he have to do? Others seem to be able win frees far more easily.

At one stage 3 Brisbane Bears players were blocking/holding him off the ball.
