News Where did they go? What has happened to delisted/retired players?

[Dalions]

Surprised he’s not going straight into coaching.

Unless he wants a break from a full time environment.

Maybe nothing on offer yet.

I think he said he'd like to keep playing while his body is still able. At a lower level he'll probably have more of an opportunity to both play and coach at the same time.

I am now expecting Joe to suit up for the Casino Lions or Lismore Swans in 2025.

I do really feel that Joe will just float off into the Joe Universe.
But there is this little feeling in the back of my mind that he will have a year off and then want back in and not at the Lions.
Maybe a Hero’s return to the Bombers
But as I said I feel he will just disappear, never to be heard of again.
I really learnt to Love Joe for all of his good, bad and ugly but I would be pretty mighty pissed if he come back to another club.

JL’s off to play with Corey at Glenelg for a year and using it as a stepping stone into coaching.

Poor Corey, always the stepping stone, never the stepper.

Glenelg. Born in Adelaide and is my old team. Never missed a game up until I was 20 and moved away. Younger brother played for them as well so happy to see both Lyons playing for the bays. (pity about their colours)

So he'll be eligible for the midseason draft?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question but here it goes. Does anyone know if there is a list of players that did participate the Grand Final Retiring Players motorcade? There seems to be more media reports about who didn't i.e. Dusty but not who did. The GF Record has a list of retirees but not sure they all took part in the motorcade. Happy for any suggestions

Was not many AFL players. Only a few utes and half were Olympians and AFLW players. Which I thought was weird.
If I remember
Hawkins and Touhy, Jarod Lyons and about 4-5 others only.
Jessie Hogan was in one as Coleman winner.
And one with retiring umps which got booed

Retired Lion set to continue career alongside brother at SANFL club

“I think we’ll be coming back to Adelaide which will be nice,” Lyons said on SEN SA Breakfast.
“A possible return to Glenelg to play with my brother might be on the cards.
“There is a lure of playing with my brother who was here (in Brisbane) for four years and we never actually got to play together.
“It was a tough decision. In the end one of my mentors said, ‘In 30 years if you look back and say you had the chance to play with your brother and you didn’t do it, how are you going to feel about it?’.
“That was one of the main reasons. Family is big thing for us. It’ll be great fun too.”
Lyons revealed that he sought out some coaching work at both Port Adelaide and the Crows but the South Australian clubs were unable to facilitate because of the timing.
“I spoke to Port and Adelaide but there wasn’t exactly any sort of AFL roles,” he added.
“They’d been finished for so long before the Grand Final came along that they’d appointed a few people in those areas.”
Regarding his decision to call time on his AFL career, Lyons simply felt the opportunities to be a starting inside midfielder had been diminished due to the quality of player at the current AFL premiers.
“I was 32 and as an inside mid we’ve got Lachie Neale and Josh Dunkley who had great seasons,” Lyons said further.
“That’s just the way footy is sometimes. I had a great time.
“The VFL was really rewarding. A lot of young guys that came through there played in the Grand Final. You look at Logan Morris and Kai Lohmann, guys I worked closely with, it was really rewarding to see those guys get that reward in their second and third seasons.
“I was sitting with Dyson Heppell in the stands and we looked at each other thinking ‘14 years of this and we never got to experience it and there’s a couple of guys out there playing in their 20th game and winning a flag’.
“That’s the great game, isn’t it. They’re that hard to win and that’s why you enjoy them (when you do).”
