Luke Toia's missus was teaching my daughter at primary school in Bunbury a couple of years ago. Left to have a baby.

He was down here as well, coaching South Bunbury from memory.

Not sure if they still reside in this neck of the woods anymore.

Calib Mourish is back in Geraldton playing local footy. Saw him with the boys from the Midwest footy academy (offshoot of clontarf) at an event, so he may be doing some work there.
 
I used to work with Luke Toia in Bunbury (Dale Alcock) and caught up with him at Young & Jacksons before the GF. Really good bloke with a great sense of humour and loves a beer. He rocked up with Stephen O'Reilly who looks like he could maul Buddy Franklin still.:eek:
 
Scott Watters was coaching somewhere over East until recently :D

Clayton Hinkley is playing for Port Melbourne in the VFL. Luke Webster was coaching Carlton's reserves in the VFL this year.

In relation to rookies who never played seniors, Hamish Shepheard played for Sandringham in the VFL.


Here's your Clayton Hinkley sighting -- in Tullamarine Airport with me, day after Grand Final, before boarding an Air New Zealand flight to Auckland; then he and his mates flew to LA on the same Air New Zealand flight I was on! He told me he's working a 9-to-5, but might play in VFL or country Victorian footy next season.

I remember when I met Mark Harvey and Rhys Palmer after a training session in Adelaide, I asked them one question and I'm betting it was one they'd never been asked before...

"How long until Hinkley is back?"

Agreed on Stephen O'Reilly but Luke Toia has certainly been in a good paddock since his playing days! Chatted to them at Waterside GF Eve.
 
Phil Gilbert and Daniel Bandy both sell real estate in Mandurah.

I bet in the Pre-season Bandy sells heaps of property and looks like having a record year ....only to disappointingly dropping away in April

He'd be up there in the 'most disappointing player' stakes.....I remember in one of his first games he destroyed Carlton, that game where we broke their 20-odd game winning streak. He was talked of as the next superstar of the game. He carved out a reasonable career, but never hit the heights he was capable of.

Everytime I hear Chris Masten is training the house down in pre-season I think of Daniel.
 
Walked into a Mining work wear place in Bicton and one of the owners was Jamie Merillo. He had a framed poster of the 1995 team on the wall.

Yeah. His dad, Joe, and I have met a few times from my days working in the Commercial team on a mine site in WA. Joe owns IPP (Industrial Protective Products) and Jamie is one of the key leaders in his company. Joe's still very proud of Jamie playing in the inaugral Fremantle game.
