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

 

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

 

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.

That'd be a basherer degree, yah?

De Goey studying to be a gynaecologist. Well, that's what he told the magistrate.

They also have a few players with a Master o farts.

But no Ph.Ds.

Guess why?

They can't spell it.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
