After fourteen seasons in the red, white and blue, ruckman Will Minson and the Western Bulldogs have parted ways.

The 31-year-old announced it to over 1500 people at the Charles Sutton Medal function this evening, after it was mutually agreed earlier this week that Minson had played his last game at the Club.

Minson will explore his options as an unrestricted free agent over the upcoming trade period, before making a decision on his playing future.

The South Australian played 191 senior games since being drafted with pick 20 in the 2002 National Draft.

Minson was recognised as the Club’s most promising player in 2004, received a rising star nomination in 2005, and All-Australian honours in 2013.
