AFL players studying at university

[THE411]

I saw McKinley earlier on in the year at UWA coming out of Law. I remember for one of my lectures in the first week this semster the lecturer said he was enrolled in the unit but I've never seen him in it.

I know Swift got a TER high enough to do medicine but doesn't do it. Goes to UWA, dunno what he does though.

Not sure if its been mentioned before, but Daniel Jackson is studying at Melbourne Uni. Spoke to him at the B & F, he is 2/3 way through his degree.

Think someone said Swifty got like Top 30 TER in the state.



Pavlich did Human Movement/Human Bio (something like that) at UWA. Never rocked up apparently.

Peter Bell is a qualified Lawyer.

Have seen Glassy & Nicoski spotted around the Business labs at Curtin.

McKinley does law at UWA.

Natanui got into Curtin for some Social science course I think.

I'm a geophysicist and I distinctly remember the story about Nathan Van Berlo and how he was studying Geophysics at Curtin when he was drafted. I had already finished my studies so I never witnessed this personally ... but I naturally remember the story because I studied the same thing at the same place. I assumed he would then transfer to Adelaide.

I've heard he still is studying Geophysics in Adelaide but I can't remember where...probably mentioned in the Advertiser at some stage...good luck finding it.

EDIT: Found it! Nathan van Berlo was doing geophysics now mining engineering.

The hard work and training demanded of AFL footballers forced him to put his study on hold until starting a mining engineering course at the University of Adelaide this year.

Jay is definitely doing Geophysics

Organised' and 'disciplined' are two words used to describe van Berlo at Fremantle, and he's had to balance geophysics studies at the University of Western Australia with his fledgling football career.
