Good luck Tivva :thumbsup

Anyone know what Tiv does as a job these days?
He's in and out of my building in a tradie uniform, I say G'Day but don't have the heart to ask, "So what do you do know?" I think he may outfit offices?
Doesn't seem to look overly exciting.
Makes you think footballers should earn good coin for what they do, not only cause of the entertainment but to help them set them up after football.

Hope he's ok.
Sounds like he's fine.
LMAO @ Being in IC but in great spirits - WTF Is he in there then?
-
LMAOOO @ The stuff accident being,he went in for a hard ball :lol

All the best to Tivs and hope he is okay.
Pope, Tivs' wikipedia page says he is studying part-time for a Diploma of Building at Holmesglen Institute of TAFE but that posted a couple of years back. So presumably he's now in the building trade.

Carpetener by memory

TWO separate on-field incidents marred Round 3 of the Casey Cardinia league with Tooradin's David White and ROC's Greg Tivendale both rushed to hospital on Saturday.
... former Richmond wingman Tivendale began coughing up blood and had trouble breathing after ROC's win over Devon Meadows.
Tivendale received a hard knock in the second quarter of his match against Devon Meadows, but played out the remainder of the game. On Saturday night he experienced shortness of breath and coughed up blood. He went to hospital and was checked into the ICU as a precaution.
ROC president Sharon Temby said on Monday that Tivendale was in good spirits, although a discharge date had not been confirmed. Temby said some players in the league might be the target of opposition clubs, and that she hoped it was stamped out quickly.
"Everybody needs to realise these aren't just players, these are fathers and regular people with a life away from football and they should not have to go into a game worrying about being hassled." Temby said.
"Greg is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, and to see him and other players targeted in an unfair manner is not in the spirit of football.
"All the players have their family and supporters watching, and they are affected most by what happens.
'At the end of the day their families want to be able to see their loved ones come off the field; a bit sore and sorry, but able to continue on with their lives."

I hate the way in which these redneck dogs who were never good enough to make the grade feel justified sneako hitting someone who was.
Throw in small penises and the envy level reaches critical
Should stay at home rooting their sisters.
Tivs is one player who didnt deserve the baking he got (guilty ;D) and is a great bloke....well maybe he deserved some baking

Think against 'the unwritten law' of what happens on the field stays on the field should be disallowed in these cases! GUTLESS
