Hawks forward Patton announces retirement
By
Jonathon Patton has announced his retirement from football.
The Hawthorn forward has opted to draw the curtain on his career after 95 games with both GWS and the Hawks.
“I have made the difficult decision to retire from football to focus on my health, wellbeing, and future outside of the game,” Patton said via a club statement.
“The constant battle to overcome injuries since I entered the AFL 10 years ago has been relentless and, on many occasions, overwhelming.
“Whilst I have loved every minute of playing on the AFL stage, my enjoyment of the game has ultimately diminished. As such, I will not play football at any level this year.”

Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but Easter is where itâs at for die-hard chocoholics. With supermarkets heaving with foil-wrapped bunnies and packet upon packet of delectable mini eggs, it can take every inch of willpower to stop yourself from leaving with an overflowing trolley.
Yet weâve had it engrained in us that chocolate isnât exactly at the top of the list of health foods, and that we should try to curb our cravings. So itâs a breath of fresh air to hear Dr Tal Friedman, head naturopath at Thailandâs Chiva-Som International Health Resort, rave about its perks. He says chocolate delivers some astounding health benefits and can be a regular part of a healthy diet.
