Two-time Premiership player announces retirement
Taylor Duryea has announced his retirement.
The Western Bulldogs defender this afternoon told his teammates that the 2025 season would be his last at AFL level.
Duryea, 34, has played 219 games at Hawthorn and the Dogs after being taken at pick 69 in the 2009 national draft.
He became a two-time premiership player at the Hawks, playing in the 2014 and 2015 flag-winning sides.
Duryea was traded to the Dogs ahead of the 2019 season and proved an excellent pick-up across seven seasons.
He played in the Bulldogs’ 2021 Grand Final loss to Melbourne.
