Set the tone for wing half forward play in the modern game but never lost sight of his scoring duties also. A lot of players could watch and learn from his movement quite a bit. What a career @Flinto23 👏 Well done, enjoy retirement.

In every team you need leaders. Leaders who lead by example, unite the team when things arent going your way and relish the big occasions. @Flinto23 did this CONSISTENTLY for 12 years. It was a pleasure and to play and train with you brother💪🏼. Best of luck in the next chapter💙 pic.twitter.com/Iv6i6qJV2n

At his peak @Flinto23 was unstoppable. 4 All stars in a row at wing forward testimony to that. Great work rate, very accurate & brilliant on the big day. Congrats on a great career Paul.
