Just a quick one on Jake,

Has had 2 great years at Dromana but my mail is he is coming home to play back at Holm Park for the mighty Beacy Eagles next year (with my boy who is stoked) if 100% true.

Berwick FC has thrown big money at him as well as they will now be coached by ex Magpie and West Coast player Andrew Williams, but I believe Beacy has won out as he was named in our team of the decade (2010-2020).
Going to Berwick, I will try not to hold that against him... but it will be hard.

Looks like my mail was correct.

Welcome back to the mighty Beaconsfield Eagles Jakey Boy !

You don't have to hold anything against him now 13.

sad to hear he's leaving the mighty Dromana Tigers.
Yeah...I know but travel just gets the best of most who go down that way eventually.

Looks like a few are going but hopefully they can back up again next year.


***And for anyone interested I have started a new thread under General Talk called 'Local Football Updates" which I will throw in any local football stories I come across if you get bored across this of season.

How much could an ex-AFL/VFL player like Jake earn playing this level of footy? Is it just beer/holiday money or a fair chunk of income?
Most good ex AFL players in EFNL (Div 1) would be on anywhere between $1500-2000 a game (or $1000 for an overweight one who left the AFL 6 years ago) :LOL:

Probably more in Premier league as their salary cap is $50k more than ours from memory.
