STEWART Crameri’s AFL career appears to have come to an end after one season at the Cats.

Crameri’s wife, Jess, tonight posted an emotional tribute that thanked the Cats for giving Crameri one last opportunity in last year’s rookie draft.

The Cats today started their exit interviews after AFL and VFL seasons came to an end on the weekend.

Aaron Black has already reportedly been told he will be delisted. The Cats are expected to announce up to six departures on Tuesday.

“No words will ever scratch the surface of how unbelievably proud I am of what you have achieved throughout your career,” the Instagram post read.

“Your strength, persistence, hard work and integrity has never wavered as you made your way through a not-always-easy path.

“You have never allowed your challenges to define you and you’ve always navigated adversity with dignity and grace.

“You inspire me every day and I thank you for bringing me along on this crazy ride.

“To Geelong and each and everyone involved within the club, we will never be able to thank you enough for taking a chance when nobody else would.

“You will forever be in our hearts.

“Now for the next chapter of our forever.”

Crameri played four AFL matches this year, between Rounds 7-10, but hit injury hurdles in the second half of the year, including a nasty eye injury that involved laser eye surgery to avoid permanent vision issues after copping a stray finger in a VFL match.

The former Essendon and Western Bulldogs forward has played 103 matches, after his time at the Bulldogs was hindered by a serious hip injury.
