Great to read that some of the boys are building interest outside of football and this is a step in the right direction.

Great for Tex but I didn't know that the Walker's were in the Rag Trade. :-D

Take a look of Carlos standing next to Ashman sans shoes. :-D

I never realied that Cain Ackland could concentrate for 3 hours straight. I wish he could do it on a weekend.

Are you sure it was a short course in business management Cain was studying for......methinks it was Carlton's gameplan and his role in it he was concentrating on- Contragulations Cain, you have a Certificate in "How to Understand and Master Ratt's Gameplan"..... :-D

A further three are managing their own businesses.

Didn't a few of the boys have a childrens party service going on a few years ago? :lol:

Stevo has his own landscaping business and I would imagine the other is Judd with the event management thing he has going.

Well done to all the boys including Ashy and RP of course.

Footy aint everything!

What type of assistance does the club provides for the players to complete their apprenticeship, placement or financial?

You'd think only the young players and not the veterans and established players would need help getting started.

Great scheme though.

Do you have any suggestions for the type of business Houlihan could open? :shock:

Guys, whilst I enjoy bagging Ackland when he doesn't put in on the field, I am pleased that he has shown initiative in taking the course, where he wan't obliged to do so.

A credit to him for doing the course and to the other players.

I was under the impression that the management course is for his benefit, not the club's.

Credit should go to the club for encouraging this sort of thing and encouraging players to think about their long-term future.

I mean it's great that Ackland and others are doing this course and realising that footy only takes the first 30 years of your life (35 if you are lucky) and there is still a lot more to life and that's good but let's be honest, it's for the players' benefit and the club doesn't really get anything out of it.

So why should Ackland be credited for looking after his own self?

(OK I am being a little pest here

Club resources were very low pre Dick so opportunities such as these may not have been available to our mid-aged players during the Collo & Smorgon years. It's great to see all players getting opportunity. Baiting me may not please the mods too much at the minute BlueIce

So why should Ackland be credited for looking after his own self? (OK I am being a little pest here ) If he is as slack on the field as he is off, I wouldn't have expected him to have taken the course. There are many things that players have access to that they don't make use of, he could have quite easily have avoided the course, but he chose to take it. And it benefits the club, when players have a balance of footy and outside interests, rather than just footy and getting into mischief when they are bored. So stop being a pest Nick.
