[joy division]

Open a coffee shop or create a fashion line on instagram

If you can survive 5+ years on an afl list it would make a future career a bit easier as if you spent your money right would be well on the way to having a house paid off and set yourself up a bit.

They used to buy pubs or news agencies , some became teachers. These days I'm not sure. Fluffers in pr0n movies, chuggers or red rooster employees

Adam Hunter was working in a Boating, Camping, Fishing Store a few years back, not sure if that is still the case.

A lot of ex dockers are working or have worked in the Clontarf academies scattered around the state. Wills, Toia, Callaghan, Muir.

Daniel Bandy is in real estate.

Heap of ex Carlton players (80's players) work at Visy doing various roles

Wills is an awesome bloke, really. Helped me out a fair bit myself despite not actually being able to be in Clontarf due to not being Aboriginal. He does a good job in the NT with the indigenous lads. He's not very good with his supercoach or dreamteam (forget which one) squad or at least he wasn't in 2011. Also during the time I knew him I had no clue who the hell he really was until someone else had told me, as he isn't the bloke to brag or chat about himself.


Edit - Found out that ex Hawthorn premiership player Brent Renouf works with Willsy

Doug Hawkins was working as a traffic controller for a few years post-Footy Show. I don't know if he's still doing it.

Dougie should still be on the Footy Show, and Barnesy should still be on League Teams on Fox Footy. /rant

Is Peter Street in Footscray now? I saw an article on the news yesterday and there was an officer named Street being interviewed and it crossed my mind that he might have been ax ex-Footballer that I recognised.

Edit: yes, it's him.

There sure is a peter street in Footscray

 

[bombersfan4000]

Ive bumped in to a few ex afl and nrl players in my times in he mines in Queensland and Western Australia.
The Carr brothers run a property development company out of perth also

He most certainly is, saw him with the stop/go sign in South Melbourne a few months ago...

A few others I know of:

Wayne Johnston owns and runs a road and rail traffic management company with his sons
John Kennedy Jnr. owns a plumbing business
Fraser Brown is an extremely wealthy property developer

Big dopy Tom Derickx is now a model and a dj not to mention drowning in pussay.

 

[Dixie Normous]

They pretty much only have 2 options after footy:

- Assistant Coach
- Media

Also Instagram consultants

 

[RUNVS]

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.

 

[Vapor]

Sticking stickers on apples

 

[Damon_3388]

Become instant sports journalists.

Why channel 7

WHY!?

It's not the fact that it happens, it's the players they pick.

I mean, Jimmy Bartel for example was a great footballer, but he has the personality of a wooden door, and always looks and sounds like he is stoned. No idea why they think he's a good fit for television.

Even someone like Richo still seems kind of awkward and uncomfortable, and he's been doing it for years now.

Darren jolly likes to renovate houses and the G train is a landscaper

Thread idea - 'G Train - The Next Scott Cam?'

Warwick Capper "insert job title here"

Warwick Capper "insert job title here"

He's either one of those "handyman" who get hired specially for females by females because they were nothing or close to.

or he makes x-rated movies

 

[Stax on the mill]

Heath Scotland and Courtney Johns became firemen.
