Jon Hay is a personal trainer now, not playing any footy.

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Mark Williams at Ballan in Central Highlands FL.

Heard he has not set world on fire at all.

 

[pacman]

Played against Rhan Hooper's team on the weekend although he was injured. He plays for Springwood in the AFLQ Div 1 comp.

Albert Proud, the ex-Lions player, also plays for them and got sent red carded
for threatening the umpire.

Who do you play for? I'm ex Coorparoo

 

[Goodo73]

Doug Scott

I believe he was playing for Sorrento last year, and according to my brother (who works at Cotton On HQ with him), prior to that he was playing-coach somewhere in Geelong.

 

[pembury]

Nick Ries I believe is playing for Collegians in VAFA

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Great thread !!!

 

[Mcem]

Jon Hay is playing with Shepparton in the Goulburn Valley this year. Saw him play a few weeks ago. Played well but far from All Australian form.

 

[CYRIL_XFACTOR]

Angelo also has some advertising banners at Box Hill FC, seems he is also a ANZ Banking rep.

A bit older I know but the Andy Collins coached West Adelaide FC is currently on top of the ladder with Trav Tuck as mentioned above.
They will be playing a Foxtel Cup match at the MCG against Port Melbourne on the 11th June.

That's correct re Lekka.. My mum is the assistant brach manager at the ANZ Bank in Toorak, and Angelo is a part of her customer service team.

 

[Big Easy]

Matt Ball (brother of Luke) is captain of Old Xaveriens in the VAFA. They basically win A Grade every year so I'm sure he's enjoying his footy. Not sure how many games Matt played for us but it was only a handful from memory.

Bo Nixon is a lawyer with Norton Rose in Sydney, I believe. Broc McCauley works with Pitcher Partners, Simon Taylor with PWC, and Nick Holland is back working at Holding Redlich after a short, ill-fated stint at the Professional Footballers Association.

 

[Brant]

Pretty sure Craig Trelevyn (sp.) is working Fly-in/Fly-out (FIFO) as a tradie in regional WA. He works with my brother's best mate who is an electrician.

Daniel Chick is also another FIFO, working as a crane operator in the Pilbara.

Yeah that is correct. Has been injured and only just returned

 

[Big Booty]

Great achievement by Bo Nixon. Norton Rose is a reputable international law firm.

 

[eldorado]

Bump...

Nice thread, Caseman...

 

[TAITA]

Pretty sure Kyneton aren't fielding a senior team this year due to lack of numbers when Thommo didn't recommit as coach. Only fielding reserves team.

Yeah - that misrepresents the situation totally.

Thommo and Derrick could not recommit due to both having young families and the tyranny of distance - one living in Doncaster and the other in Bendigo, but that had bugger all to do with the mass exodus of players.

 

[Bosk]

Great thread, really good to know what all the ex-Hawks are up to nowadays.

 

[rjslcM]

Shane Crawford - undertakes various unspecified tasks voluntarily in current job including, "being sport's best role model", "showing the world how to be an absolute champion" and "winning at life".

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Nathan Thompson is playing for Doncaster and kicking 5+ every week

I believe that Holland is working for Paul Horvath Lawyers now.

What happened with Holland and the PFA?

Always hoped things would smooth over with Nick and we would see him back at the club in some capacity. Maybe not at the club per se, but somewhere in the background helping out if required.

Combining these thoughts with a few other recent threads ...

When we committed to Dunstall for a record fee back in the day, did we sign him as a Hawk for life like he seems to be now? I mean, how much would we have lost if he had of taken the 10 year deal and gone to the bears. On the one had, he took a lotta cash, cash we maybe couldn't afford the time. Maybe we couldn't afford to keep some others, and then the crisis of 96 was just around the corner. On the other hand, with that commitment, did we sign the guy for life, which sees him still doing the off field job he's doing for us today?

When thinking of the return we got for signing him as our franchise player, and the ongoing long term return we are still reaping, would this help people see the Buddy situation in a slightly different light? I mean, if we sign Buddy now, are signing him for life? I'm not suggesting he's gonna go on and be a media star, or sit on the board or whatever, but he could forever be an iconic face of the club. Even if some may consider us paying overs for him in terms of on field return, how much would we reap down the track on the back of his.

Wrong thread I realise, but whenever I look in here and see some of those names, I can't help but think of the what ifs.
