Riewoldt, who played his first game in 2001, has been weighing up his future amid strong speculation for several weeks.

He is facing media this afternoon, but confirmed his retirement in a video address to supporters, saying St Kilda “will always have really special place in my heart”.

“I can’t believe how lucky and privileged I’ve been,” he said.
