AFL players studying at university

[Father Jack]

I remember hearing (on TFS i think) a few years ago that Fev was studying through Griffith Uni. Law or something. There goes any value my degree had.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Callum Wilson does Commerce at UWA.

I saw Brett Jones on campus a few years ago, he'd probably be finished considering he was drafted mature.

 

[Equus]

David Hille at RMIT.

Sam Power is a law student. Not sure which uni though.
Daniel Cross studies at ACU but I'm not sure what degree he is doing.

Wikipedia is a pretty solid source so chuck it in you should get a good mark.

Also 2012 1st Rd draft pick Ben Carbonaro is doing post-doctoral studies in swooning glams at Sunbury TAFE.

You are really obsessed with Ben arn't you? Its time to let go.

 

[Tulip]

Nathan Jones and Stefan Martin are two that I know of. Martin got a 99.75 ENTER score in VCE!!

Van Berlo was or is still doing some sort of Geology or Geoscience degree at Flinders Uni in Adelaide.

Nope, he's been seen at Adelaide Uni, doing Health Sciences I believe, also think Ben Rutten is doing human movement at Uni SA.

Jimmy Bartel does Law through Open Uni - source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Bartel

For all the stereotypes of footy players, there are some incredibly smart people out there. Luke Ball especially. He got 98 for his TER, was vice-captain of his school (Xavier) - he actually rejected the captaincy role to concentrate on footy and his studies. Overachiever much? I hope he gets his act together and performs to his potential out there on the footy field for the rest of the month.

Yeh it's pretty amazing. There are heaps of smart sports people period. To juggle study with top-line professional sport is a credit to them.
It's usually just bitter nerds who paint them all with the same brush. Or they say something like 'but private schools just spoonfed marks'. Tall poppy syndrome etc etc.

He's studying criminology.

I think you're thinking of the wrong brother. Jay van Berlo is studying Geophysics at Curtin Uni I believe.

 

[Power King]

Michael Wilson did physiotherapy.

Darryl Wakelin did pharmacy over ten years I believe.

 

[Bort]

Sean Dempster is doing Sport Science at ACU.

 

[jonoman89]

Micheal Jamison is doing an Arts/Science degree at Melbourne Uni.

Indeed he is. Had a class with him last year.

 

[numchuks]

Angus Monfries is studying Journalism.

Yeah, was in my class last semester.

Studies at La Trobe and is currently doing one subject a semester, because of training etc.

So it will end up taking somehting like 12 yrs for him to complete the degree.

A mate of mine who attends Flinders University here in SA has told me he sees Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin around the campus a bit. Not sure what he's studying though.

I can't say I've seen any AFL players around during my time at the University of Adelaide, although I'm usually only on campus when I have classes, and don't hang around much besides that. However, I did have a class with swimmer Matthew Cowdrey back in first year. He won 8 medals and set 5 World Records at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.

 

[nicko99]
