$1.2M in Frankston?!?!

Gee whiz, the market is crazy.

Mate. I've lost count of the amount of people I went to school with who have become instant millionaires when their parents died and they sold the family home. It's unbelievable. I bought my first house in Suffolk st in West Footscray for $100 k in 1998. A couple of years ago that property was subdivided and the back yard (the rear of the property backed out onto a street with houses facing onto it giving you access from the street to the rear of the property. It's why I chose it) went for $475 000 and the front which faced Suffolk st and had the house on it went for $975 000 at auction. I sold in 2005 for 250k or so and while it would have been nice to hang on and really cash in but the lesson I have learned in my 54 years on earth is life's a bitch and then you die.

The amount of people moving to the west is incredible. Sometimes I wish they'd all just *!*!*!*! off back to the other side of town*. Especially when I'm stuck in traffic on Geelong rd. Gee that's busy now.




*Then I think how much I will get for my parents house and stop thinking it.

Fair house though, and on 1700m2 too. Put that house in a decent suburb and you're talking $6m+

It's unbelievable isn't it? Braybrook $750 000 is out of this world.

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

Not sure if this has been mentioned in earlier posts, but Josh Hill is playing with the Northern Blues this year. There was a post about this on VFL.com.au.

Interesting that he has chosen to come back to Victoria to play state level footy. Maybe he hasn't given up hope of being drafted again and he thinks it gets him the radar of more clubs. I wonder if he's bought his dad with him this time?

I always liked Josh. He was one ex player yiu could rely upon not to show us up by playing spectacular footy but he played a lot of games at West Coast.

Jarred Grant - Real Estate Agent

Ex-AFL player Jarrad Grant makes property debut with million-dollar sale

Not sure that selling a house for a million bucks is quite the achievement it used to be.

I know you're only joking but it's Frankston South, right next to Mount Eliza. I've got family there and it's a pretty decent area. Frankston North on the other hand...

Paul Amy has reported that Rocket Eade will coach Balwyn in the EFL
Eade takes over from Marty Pask as coach

It's also been in the news

EASTERN Football League power Balwyn has made a sensational switch of coach, appointing Rodney Eade for 2018.

Tigers president Richard Wilson confirmed late tonight that former Sydney Swans, Western Bulldogs and Gold Coast coach Eade would be taking over after the resignation of Marty Pask.

In a statement to Leader, Wilson said: “After 2017 post-season discussions and more recent pre-season discussions, the club’s head coach, Marty Pask, has regretfully advised he can no longer coach Balwyn Football Club in season 2018.

“Marty’s business interests have grown significantly in the past 12 months and the demands on his time as head coach can no longer be sustained commensurate to his business ambitions.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Does this make Balwyn the flag favourite? Tell us below

“Marty led the club to finals in his first year and then the club’s off-season recruiting program.

“The club recently met with Marty and he confirmed his inability to coach Balwyn Football Club.

“Balwyn Football Club wishes Marty all the best in his business endeavours and thanks him for our contribution to our club.

“As a result Balwyn Football Club is extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Rodney Eade as senior coach for season 2018.’’

The statement quoted Eade as saying he was “passionate about coaching and the opportunity to continue my coaching career at Balwyn, where my sons have played, is an opportunity to give back to the football community. I am looking forward to working with this highly successful community club.’’

Wilson said the appointment represented “one of those unique circumstances where a community club has the opportunity to bring in a person who has coached at the highest level’’.
