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.

But no Ph.Ds.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
