Mal Brown, Richmond’s legendary “hardman”, has sold his four-bedroom Hawthorn East home for $2.6 million.

The Browns plan a sea-change on the Mornington Peninsula.

It's a delightful day. And it would be a Dea-lightful day for Williamstown FC if it could sign delisted Richmond player Matt Dea. @VFL

AFL players: Where are they now? Retired, delisted footballers find new clubs

Luke McGuane — Keilor (EDFL).
Former Brisbane and Richmond forward Luke McGuane will also take the reigns of his own team in 2016 and like Chapman he may not take the field. McGuane is seeking compensation for debilitating knee injuries that brought the 28-year-old’s 112-game career to a premature end and this may restrict his ability to play for new club Keilor.

Andrew Raines — coach (Gold Coast — NEAFL)

David Rodan - West Preston (Northern Football League).

Matt McDonough — Woodville-West Torrens (SANFL)

Nathan Gordon — Balwyn (EFL)

Matt Thomas — Old Melburnians (VAFA)

Nathan Foley — assistant coach (Box Hill — VFL)

Chris Newman — development coach (Hawthorn — AFL)

Chris Knights — recovering from ACL surgery

Ricky Petterd — assistant coach (Coburg — VFL)

Matt Arnot — Port Melbourne (VFL)

John Heslin: I would have regretted not chasing Oz dream

Independent.ie
Donnchadh Boyle
24/02/2016


Last Saturday's Sigerson Cup win was exactly the kind of thing that John Heslin knew he could miss out on when as a teenager, he took up an offer from the Richmond Tigers to pursue a career in the AFL.

The lure of Melbourne and a professional life was too much not to at least give it a try. Yet he was back in Mullingar with the most of his two-year deal still to run and while there are things he would have done differently, there are no regrets.

The decision to return has since been vindicated. He has seen some big days, not least helping the county beat Meath for the first time in Championship history last summer.

Taking the leap was a risk, but it's a risk he's glad he took.

"Anyone I have spoken to. . . I spoke to Colin O'Riordan and a couple of lads. . . I just said you have to go," he said. "You'll never regret going but I would have regretted not going.

"I went over too early in the year. Usually an Irish player goes over in October, then gets a couple of weeks off for Christmas and goes back over.

"But I went out in July. I had a longer period when I was ineligible to play games and I was just training. That had its part to play.

"But that's hindsight. It's a phenomenal opportunity for any player to go over."

David Rodan is aiming to be an AFL-listed goal umpire by 2017 as he embarks on a new career this year. He will start as a VFL goal umpire this season as he targets an AFL debut next year.
