There is a lot more money in local footy that VFL. If you give up on your AFL dream it makes sense to get a 5k sign-on and 1500 per game, while only training twice a week compared to training that third session and earning around 200 per game. There typically is an excellent jobs network at clubs that can afford that cash too, which you have time to do because you're only training twice a week.

Looked to have lost a step post ACL. Was a bit unlucky with timing of Covid meaning no seconds to earn a spot in the side with.

I do think if he got a bit luckier he could have had a reasonable career.
