The Brainy Bunch: Anthropology, astrophysics and a four-d...

More and more footballers are doing tertiary studies while playing the game, and it's an amazingly mixed group

Not one pies player......no surprises there

Not too many of ours are on the list!

good on them. their career is short so glad they are making plans for post footy

Huh, would've thought we'd have more players listed here! Or Langdon at the very least.

Not sure what Brett Lovett studied but he had a pretty good football brain. Greg Williams and Sam Mitchell also spring to mind

According to the article, Toby Greene has taken up a politics degree.

Let’s hope he never finds an application for it.

Actually, the article says it's Tom Greene studying politics while Toby Green is studying for his MBA.

He'd be MAGA for sure

Okay, full credit to Bailey Scott, astrophysics is pretty tricky stuff. I gave it a try but all my comets smacked into Jupiter and my contract didn't get renewed.

Good to see anthropology isn't dead, too. I think I might have to like this Lawson Humpries kid;

"Uni isn't necessarily hard, but it's something I might not want to do all the time, and it's good I have to still do it and force myself to do something I might not want to. We're pretty lucky as AFL players, we have a pretty good run, so it's important to do other things."

With Humpries' Anthropology and then Barass being the only one studying Philopsophy, I wonder if there is some special link between the humanities and defenders? I guess it does take a certain deeper perspective.

To be fair, a number of Pies players already have a B.Thug.
