Where are they now?

[winty]

My favourite memory of Blizz was against.... north I think? Maybe the blues, at docklands, we were a few points down and he gets the ball seriously 85 metres from goal and smacks a MONSTER torp that JUST missed the goals and went through for a point, 1 second later the siren sounded and we lost.
Was a huge kick and I still think of it

Yeah that was against North in 2000. Was a massive roost.

I remember a game against the Pies either later in 2000 or the following year when Bizz took a couple of absolute screamers.

 

[vinum coupe]

It wasn't 85m. I was sitting in the medallion club. Someone hand balled it sideways and it was kicked pretty much on the line of the square at centre half forward.

Older lady near me was a bit upset and I said to her "dont worry, if they have the courage to try something like that they are going somewhere"

Nice crack at it though!

Sorry to intrude but was just reading this old post. I am close mates with Clint and you are right, he has done really well post footy. Heavily involved with his partner (Jen Adam's) media company and co-hosts the PWG travel show. One of the loveliest, most genuine salt of the earth people you will ever want to meet.

Good luck to the Cats in season 13.

One of the things that is really surprising with Bizz and with a number of other ex footballers I know is that many of them don't really follow AFL footy anymore. Almost seems like they want to get away from the whole industry once their playing days are over.

Thanks PM - My bet is 'the Bizz' is in a much happier place these days. Travel, adventure, J.A. on the arm. He's found 'the good life', post footy.

Yes HTR he is loving life at the moment. Obviously there is a bit of stress managing their own media company but I spend a fair bit of time with him nowadays and he is a true friend. One of those blokes that would do anything for his mates.

Certainly gained that impression from his Nepal(?) doco. Bizz and his mate had me p155ing myself laughing. Missed the conclusion, unfortunately. Have always wondered if his mate survived the journey

Thanks for the updates, P.M. - Good to hear news of another contented ex-Cat.

 

[Vdubs]

Wonder if anyone has seen/heard of Mark Bos. Never an in your face personality, but a gun player and bloke. Returned to the farm, IIRC, straight after retiring.

David Barclay, former not so famous #5, wonder what he's up to. Used to think he may be living in Switzerland, DTC, but evidently not.?

Yes mate he is co host on Places We Go now. Season 5 kicks off in March (Ch 10) and Bizz hosts a few more episodes himself including a great trip to the west coast of Canada. His mate did survive the journey haha. Although there was one episode on African safari that Bizz said he really feared for his life. If you can get your hands on that episodes, it's well worth a watch.

Here's a link to the Wagga Wagga Daily Advertiser preview of the 2011 GF, saying that he owns and works a farm near Coolamon.
The article finishes up "Wagga's Cameron Mooney is still a big chance to come into the team to replace Johnson, but Scott is not likely to make a decision until game day." Dunno why they say the Geelong papers are parochial.

Canada!... No guessing who the no.1 viewer will be when that episode airs. For all the right reasons, BC is in my top two places on the planet.
[ Licks paws in anticipation ] - Just going over some clips from the Nepal trip I came across the one below where Clint catches up with an old team mate from the Cats. So in keeping with this thread have posted it here - Thanks once again for your input, PM,.. it's greatly appreciated.
The hunt now begins, in search of the African Safari....

Yes the episode in Canada covers BC and an amazing trip to a remote bear lodge. A life changing experience from all accounts.

The lucky bugger is off to Antarctica next month as well. Shattered I am missing out on that trip

You mean this massive, massive roost?
vinum coupe - it wasnt in line with the square, it was about 7-10m in from the line.

That's the one!
Was a great kick!

 

[Live in hope]

good to see Mitch Brown get a (temporary) go at the Bombers for NAB Challenge. Right decision to let him go, but you hope that the players that have been delisted get another chance and/or find good homes somewhere, be it other AFL clubs, VFL, interstate or otherwise.

Would be grateful if some kind soul could indicate where the players let go over last two seasons ended up (no need of course for Bundy and Varcoe). Appreciate that this info might be in a number of different spots on the site.

Brown - Sandy VFL
Schroder - Drug Den VFL
Sheringham - Geelong VFL/Bell Park

Adam Varcoe went back and played SANFL [Centrals ?].Looks like he did his knee again in 2012.
Not sure if he's still playing.

has Varco applying for a clearance (which is pending) from Centrals in the SANFL to the SAAFL

Thanks JUBJUB

Didn't know what had become of Brown (pre NAB grab) or Schroder. Might have been better to try the SAFL or WAFL than VFL to get a chance of standing out.

[Catsmaninamerica]

Not only was Devine fearless, he intimidated too. Not to mention being a far superior player to Card. Your veiled shot at Devine being a sniper is not only totally inaccurate but offensive too.

Ray card won a b&f. He was a far better player than JD

 

[Catsmaninamerica]

Agree. He had a very successful playing/coaching career at - I think - Burnie. However, like many very good players just didn't cut-it as an elite coach. Not that he had much to work with apart from Ablett.

Nonetheless, a tenacious, fearless, hard hitting player who made his team mates stand tall. One of the first picked at his best.

Not that he had much to work with? Malcolm blight took the same squad to within a kick of a flag the very next year! Do you even watch football?

Doesn't Kent Kingsley sell top of the range yachts in Europe? From a Cam Mooney interview a few years ago he eluded to him doing very well for himself in Europe.

Nice username.
