Where are they now? Past players

Where is Kent Butcher?

Medders is in the financial gig

Merimbula isn't a bad spot to end up post footy!

Where I'll head when I retire, hopefully.

His son will be a good player.

Jackson Starcevich has been on our VFL list since last year, but rarely (if ever) gets a game. He usually plays as a key forward for Northcote Park in the Northern Football League (alongside Ash Close), and seems to do very well at that level, but he should turn 25 this year, and clearly isn't considered a draft prospect. I don't know if Craig has any other sons.

Perhaps you are thinking of Brandon Starcevich, the highly rated young Brisbane Lion, who is the nephew of the former Magpie star?

Yeh his nephew is the one I’m writing about although I didn’t know his son was with our vfl team. Any promise in him at all?

I certainly haven't seen him play; I don't know if anyone around here has seen much of him! I think there was a bit of publicity when he was recruited but that was just about the last we have heard of him, but he is still on our VFL list! I'm not sure if he's played any games for us yet, but he seems to do very well wherever he does play. He apparently kicked plenty of goals for Northcote Park last season (including 7 in one game), but given his age and the fact we haven't found a spot for him in our reserves side it seems unlikely he could be considered any kind of a "prospect".

Here's his VFL player profile (it wouldn't have been updated for about a year):-

59. Jackson Starcevich

Position: Forward
Height: 199cm
Weight: 100kg
D.O.B: 18/07/93
Recruited From: Claremont (WAFL)/Redland (NEAFL)/Shepparton

The story so far: Son of Collingwood premiership player Craig, Starcevich comes to the VFL Magpies after spending time training at the club in 2016. An experienced marking key forward.

*****************************************************
Edit: According to this article he played one VFL game for us last season (against the Northern Blues in Rd. 4, it seems): http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/...y/news-story/784a016abfa64e4c69a32415dd8f2231

Starcevich will be VFL-listed again by the Magpies in 2018, McLennan confident the key target will build on his sole VFL appearance.

“I think he will probably get a bit more opportunity at VFL with Lachie Keefe and a couple of other tall guys not being at Collingwood,’ he said.

“He’s an elite level footballer.”
************************
He missed seven weeks last year due to a knee injury, and injured a knee again in the Preliminary Final: http://nfnl.org.au/2017-season-review-meadows-greyhounds-division-1/

Jackson Starcevich led the competition best and fairest until injuring his knee in Round 14. The key forward had booted 37 goals in his first 10 games for the Cougars.

Leading goal kicker: Ash Close and Jackson Starcevich (38 goals)
Team of the Year representatives: Ash Close, Jordan Perry and Jackson Starcevich

What is Rupert Betheras up to these days?

He seems to be doing well as an artist:- https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Rupert_Betheras

As a young man Betheras was interested in art and during 2001 and 2002 he planned for his career post-football and turned to being an artist. Betheras held his first solo exhibition, After Collingwood, at Alcaston Gallery, Melbourne in 2008, the year after retiring from AFL; this was followed by several more including an Alcaston-curated survey exhibition at Deakin University Art Gallery, Melbourne (Marking Tracks, 2012). He has held solo exhibitions in other public galleries including Araluen Arts Centre, Alice Springs (Field Work, 2015, relating to Inner Sanctum, 2014, and My Future Has A Past, 2015 at Alcaston Gallery), and the Northern Centre for Contemporary Art (NCCA), Darwin (Arnhem H-Way, 2014), and in other commercial galleries including Galerie Luc Berthier, Paris, France.

Betheras continues to experiment as a painter, pushing his practice in terms of his materials and in his approach to abstraction and figuration. In recent years, collaborative and relational dimensions have also come to the fore as with his work with Central Desert artist Lionel Possum, his Event Horizon exhibition in Darwin's World War II tunnel (2015), and his involvement in NCCA's Indonesian-Top End Artists' Camp (2015) and related exhibition (Cruise Control, 2016).

Betheras's AFL experience has played and continues to play a significant role in his art. 'The football connection allows me to enter places', writes Betheras on his work as an AFL coach/mentor in the Northern Territory. 'From that', he writes, 'I am able to produce artwork specific to those places and to the experience of being there'. The 'higher states of consciousness and physical application needed to perform at the highest levels of sport' are, Betheras asserts, also manifest in his artistic process as a painter.[1] Betheras is represented in the group exhibition Leather Poisoning: Football Possessions, Counihan Gallery, Melbourne, March/April 2017; curated by Victor Griss.

Wow he’s tall. A key forward? 199cm. We could use him.

Played at Shepparton United, they struggled but he was a great target for him. Be interesting to watch him this year for the VFL Pies.

And there it is, first post. I was waiting firnthe backlash.

Sorry but your original post wasn't necessary... What did you expect?

It would be nice to see him get a few games for us to see if he's good enough at that level, but of course if he's getting a game most likely that would mean our AFL list has a few injuries, which would not be nice (though highly likely)!! Ironically, he could find himself competing for a key forward spot with Ash Close, his teammate at Northcote Park (and Collingwood FC employee).

Shane Morwood has had a successful coaching stint at Dingley winning the past three premierships. He played the game with class and poise and seems to be running a great organisation coaching his players, proving 1990 was a very special group and leaders weren't hard to find.
