Ex AFL players playing in local leagues?

[X_box_X]

Brad Murphy from the Bulldogs has been playing for Hoppers Crossing for quite a few years. Has kicked thirteen goals in the past two games.

Also, Michael West, once famous for kicking thirteen goals in a game in U18s, is playing for Hoppers also, but has only played three games in the seniours.

Lance Picioane and his brother are playing for Kyneton, although Lance has only played six games due to injury.

Other VAFA ones include:

Matthew Robbins at Ormond
Charlie Gardiner and Steven Greene at Old Melburnians
Tim Fleming and Matthew Ball at Old Xavier
Julian Rowe and Cameron Howat at Carey

I'm sure there are a few more as well, might actually be more running around in B grade than A grade.

There's plenty right through most grades of the amateurs (VAFA).

In A Grade, Collegians have Nick Stone, Fergus Watts, Nick Ries, and Simon Arnott.

Scotch have Nathan Brown and Tim Houlihan, and David Spriggs is down at Old Brighton.

Justin Platten is still going around for Elizabeth in the same league.

joel smith is also at balwyn and ian prentergast (however you spell it)

[buzzlightyear]

Justin Murphy, Anthony Franchina, Ty Zantuck, Jess Sinclair are all playing at Heidelberg in the Northern FL. Corey McKernan also has played a couple of games.

 

[Underdog]

Fellas the WAFL is not a local league it is a state league. The OP means leagues such as Country, WAAFL, SFL (now defunct), PFL etc

Why though?

Many players earn more in country leagues then they could and do in the WAFL.

Was reading an old AGE newspaper from 2007 the other day. They had a story on Fergus Watts. Because he has such a bad ankle, he cant train because he can barely run a lap and it takes the trainer 45 minutes to strap it up before a game.

For all the shit he copped from our supporters he was still a pretty decent prospect. Think Josh Kennedy, big unit and can jump and crash a pack but not the most agile guy around, however runs pretty quickly in a straight line. Broke his leg or something an that was the end of his career. Kicked 10 goals in a SANFL final, everyone thought he'd be our forward saviour but then shafted us and went to his dad at St Kilda.
