I'm sorry, its a good line, but really farewell Streeta, you will be missed.
This is a dark day for the PSP, but the legend of the vertical one will forever live on.
I wish him all the best for his future endeavours. He wanted to be a cop didn't he?

The vertical one!!!! 
Yeah Pete got the best out of himself, was a real battler, did pretty well considering, even broke even with the Coondog on a few occasions as well.
All the best in his new uniform.

Not a huge surprise, but still sad all the same. A time where our club is celebrating a Brownlow win and we're also saying goodbye to others that have served our club for years. We don't make it easy on ourselves...

I'm shattered, I love Streety, but yeah, he's definitely going to be better off having a look around and seeing what else life has to offer. He is definitely the nicest bloke at the club and I'm going to miss him, and so will Anneliese.

Interesting twist for Streeta, must be good to know you're still valued as a player, a pity he couldn't find a club in Melbourne interested, we will always Hail the Tall One...
| Quote: | Street closes off avenue to Lions for family
Brent Diamond | November 30, 2008
FORMER Western Bulldog beanpole Peter Street could have been a Brisbane Lion in yesterday's AFL draft. However, the 28-year-old withdrew his nomination for fear of having to move his family — wife Kristy and one-year-old son Luke — from their Geelong home to a city interstate.
He said he would have considered playing on next season had a Melbourne-based club been interested.
"It would have been wasting my family's time and my own time if I had decided to play on and move to Brisbane," Street told The Sunday Age. "I told them (Brisbane) and the AFL that I just don't have passion for the game at that level any more and I wasn't ready to commit. It could have been only for a year or two and I wasn't prepared to pack my family up and leave for that.
Street has spoken with Lions football manager Graeme Allen over the past two weeks.
"I knew that they've been interested for a while and when I met Graeme Allan, I knew that they were seriously thinking about it," he said.
Lions coach Michael Voss admitted the club went into yesterday with thoughts of drafting Street to bump up its depleted ruck stocks after the departures of Beau McDonald and Joel Tippett.
"We thought Peter Street would have been available," Voss said.
"He withdrew his interest. He was probably the only guy that we were thinking about. We ended up with Bart McCulloch, but we were very happy with that.
"(Other ruckmen) Tyrone Vickery was high up and (Nick) Naitanui was high up. We needed a ruckman because we only have two on our list and we needed another one to add to that," he said.
Street has opted to sign with St Joseph's in the Geelong Football League and finish his career in the home town in which he began his rise in the AFL ranks.
He said he also has plans to join the police force next year.
He has knocked back a lucrative offer to move to South Australia for an assistant coaching-playing role with SANFL side North Adelaide.
Last season, Street was one of the best for Williamstown in the VFL after the arrival of former Crow Ben Hudson restricted his presence in the Western Bulldogs line-up.
Street began his career at Geelong after being recruited in the 1998 AFL draft and was traded to the Western Bulldogs in 2003.
He finished with a career tally of 78 games and 16 goals in 10 seasons.... |
