It's a real interesting one - he's been highly regarded in every job he's had, but hasn't coached for a decade.

Hope Sid has a good year at Port (except when they play Footscray and Willy). Will always be a Bullgod.

Dual premiership player. I'll never forget the ball burster at Punt Rd.

Ex-AFL star links up with a local footy club after surprise retirement

Bundoora has secured one of the most in-demand players on the market for 2021.

Former Richmond and Western Bulldogs star Sam Lloyd will link up with the Bulls this season in a massive boost to the Northern Football League club’s finals aspirations.

Lloyd played 89 AFL games between 2014 and 2020, kicking 114 goals.

Despite having a year to run on his contract, the 30-year-old announced his surprise retirement in December, keen to explore the next phase of his life.

Bundoora coach Michael Ryan has a relationship with Lloyd through mutual friends and was rapt to secure his signature.

“Through friends we’ve got a mutual friendship and we spoke a few times during the year when he was up in the hub,” Ryan said.

“When Sam decided to retire the biggest thing for him was making sure he had employment outside of football and we were able to facilitate that.

“He’s made the decision to move into the next phase of his life, he’s passionate about construction, and we’re very fortunate at Bundoora to benefit from that.

“It’s a huge get for the club, very exciting, one of the biggest coups for the club in a long time to get a player of his calibre.

“He’s going to take on a leadership role at the club as well, mentoring the young boys, which he’s pretty passionate about.

“One of the things I think attracted him to us was we are going to be quite a young team this year and being able to pass on his experience.”

Lloyd played mainly as a forward at AFL level but showed his ability as a midfielder in Richmond’s VFL side.

He was awarded the Norm Goss Medal for best on ground in the Tigers’ 2017 VFL grand final loss to Port Melbourne – the first player to receive the honour from a losing team – after gathering 35 disposals, 10 tackles, nine clearances and a goal.

Lloyd will slot into a midfield-forward role for Bundoora with Ryan looking forward to putting his versatility to good use.

“He definitely won’t be pigeon-holed as a forward at Bundoora,” he said.

“In the discussions we’ve had he’s pretty keen to, one play wherever the club needs him, but also keen to play mid-forward.

“It’s going to be exciting to see Sam roll through the midfield then go deep forward and have a rest and hopefully kick a few goals.

“With Sam, Hamish Shepheard and Tylar Young, those three guys are pretty imposing up front and hopefully allows us to kick a winning score most weeks.”

It’s another big-name signing for the league after North Heidelberg secured ex-North Melbourne big man Majak Daw.

Montmorency has retaining 2020 signing Ben Kennedy and reigning Rosbrook Medallist Tom Bell has re-signed with Greensborough.

GWS and Collingwood champion Heath Shaw is also yet to announce his intentions for 2021 and has been linked to NFL clubs.

Interesting Lloyd and Ryan spoke during the season?

I imagine its standard practice if you're a decent suburban club to be in the ear of any AFL player you have a loose connection with. Especially the ones who are a chance to be delisted/retire in the next two seasons.

Ilija Grgic: Ex-Footscray player sells industrial warehouse property

Former AFL footballer Ilija Grgic has handballed his Footscray warehouse property to an unlikely buyer.

A family is set to move into the trendy industrial space at 151 Ballarat Road, which had served as the ex-ruckman’s office for his building, construction and development business.

He lined up for Footscray, West Coast and Essendon during his 87-game career, but has since hung up the boots for a career in the property game with his company, Keyway.

Bond Estate Agents director Lee Marks said the buyers planned to use the unique property as a residence, while also running an unusual business from the former mechanics garage, after snapping it up for $850,000.

“The buyers have a racing car simulation business they use to train drivers, so they will set that up in the space as well,” he said.

“They had been looking for something like this for quite some time and said this just ticked all the boxes.”

Mr Marks said a combination of the property’s rustic look, location and the shop-living arrangement sealed the deal for the new owners.

He said while the property was configured as an office, the existing conference room could be easily converted into a bedroom.

“They might need to add some extra partitions to create another bedroom or two to get it set up as more of a living space,” Mr Marks added.

The property already features a bathroom, kitchen, courtyard and carport.

“I had about 100 people inspect the property. It attracted everyone from hairdressers, tattooists and car enthusiasts,” Mr Marks said.

“There’s a pretty high demand for warehouse spaces and warehouse-style living. Some people are tired of the normal cookie-cutter home and want something different but still functional.”

Grgic told Property Confidential he and business partner Vlad Kennedy had put “a lot of love and attention” into transforming the once-rundown building into their dream headquarters, decked out with personal touches including a bright red motorbike.

He said his team had now outgrown the office and was looking to upsize.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Jake Stringer was forced off the track early on Thursday and headed for scans on a lower leg issue which continues to frustrate the forward.

The 26-year-old was only beginning to return back to full fitness after an interrupted pre-season campaign, where he has shed some weight in order to spend more time in the Essendon engine room.
