James ‘Charlie’ Manson (1990 Pies premiership player who ended his career at Fitzroy, and was indeed a mad bastard) was a graphic designer

Greg Williams and Sticks Kernahan owned printing businesses back in the 90s

Peter Dean and Alan Richardson , like Bomber Thomson. were sparkies.

Lot of footballers who played before the league went professional had a qualification/trade behind them

Nowadays for every ex footballer
who lands that cushie 800k media gig there are 200 who are digging ditches or working some shitty retail job.

How many have a gig on that money .... ? How many new faces get a gig each year, not many.

It usually has to be a top line / A grader that gets this gig, ie Hodge , NRiewoldt have done it of late

I know a few Swans move into finance as Leo Barry, Ted Richards and Mike Pyke all got internships at CityBank during their careers and after their careers moved into the industry.
Kurt Tippett too. At least that was his plan when I went to preseason industry breakfast where he and Ben McGlynn were there as guests. From memory, I think Benny was going to go back into the carpentry trade.
