I see they also report that Jared Polec has signed with a Vic regional side, Yarraville-Seddon.

Yarraville and Seddon are actually relatively inner city suburbs in Melbourne's west.

I’m guessing he banked a big cheque along the way.

Yeah sure, I meant it in the context of the league being a regional one (WRFL - inner and outer western suburbs) rather than non-metropolitan.

I hope he has a decent minder.

How can robbo keep his dozens of fans in suspense like this? So cruel

I wonder what Mitch's potential is as a club coach - not in the AFL system I cant see that but at say QAFL level or County football. The Captain and Coach type role, he might get a gig with some money in it for a few years?

 

[POBT]

Thought Mitch was heading to Victoria. Must have a few irons in the fire up here.

Or there was no interest down in Vic?

Or he just loves Qld so much and his family didn’t want to leave. Or they couldn’t afford to relocate?

Maybe he has been offered to host the new Lions podcast gig?

Just spitballing.

 

[briztoon]

I thought Mitch sold his house in Brisbane last year.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Could Robbo be a FIFO player?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Does this really warrant a discussion?

Must be the off season

This is the thread about retired and delisted players and what they are doing. So yes, discussions on a delisted player are warranted.

You can always not read the thread.

Ouch

I just think given he "retired" he's probably the least interesting of where did they go despite how he might try and pump it up

It’s been 3 months since his retirement.

I always thought Mitch would be a good player welfare officer or similar. Always good for taking young guys under his wing when he with us.

I thought the same with Bundy.

I thought the same with Bundy.

I thought the club may have offered the new Indigenous Palyer Welfare Manager role to Bundy.
They may have approached him possibly??
But Anthony Corrie got the job, at the last training session of the year last year, Corrie was doing a bit of work on the sidelines with a few of the re-hab boys, he is very upbeat and positive and loves to have a laugh which is perfect for the role he has been employed for.

But surely you realise what thread you are in right?

There are hundreds of delisted and retired footballers. Doesn't mean each one warrants a discussion on what they're up to

But, this is the specific thread for exactly that. Surely this is the thread where you can and should post about the doings of any & every past Lions player. C'mon Jackess what's got you even more argumentative than usual?

 

[briztoon]

Bit of discussion about what $$$ Robbo is on at Morningside. Figure floated is $1000 a game, plus an assistant coaching gig, so some of his money is counted outside the cap.

Putting that in to perspective, further discussion mentioned that’s paying 1 player a quarter of the QAFL salary cap.


Made me wonder what our VFL top up players are on?

And how we divvy up our VFL cap.

Is Wylie Buzza on some sort of marquee signing money, and the rest on a set game day amount.
