North Adelaide
Bamford considered playing on in the 2008 SANFL season, saying "I"m still enjoying the game as much, if not more, than I ever have", but, on 27 October 2007 at the North Adelaide Best & Fairest Night, he announced his retirement from football after spending three weeks agonising about his future. When making a speech he was given a standing ovation by past and present team mates, club support staff, coaching panel and supporters. He plans to spend more time with his family.
