Olarenshaw is also known for his time as a boundary rider on Channel 7’s footy coverage. He handed the reins to Tigers great Matthew Richardson in 2009.

Marshall White Bayside director Matthew Pillios said the one-bedroom apartment had been a “great investment property” for the former footballer.
“It’s a good boutique building with great facilities, which is obviously in a great location,” Mr Pillios said.
“He’s living in Seminyak, Bali, at the moment and will be there while we’re selling the property.”
The boutique building is in the heart of Port Melbourne.

Olarenshaw moved to Indonesia in 2013, and has since started a family and opened three F45 gyms in Seminyak, Canggu and Jakarta.
He also coaches Australian rules footy team the Bali Geckos, which is one of the top clubs in the Asian Championships.
Mr Pillios said there were “big opportunities” in Indonesia for the 47-year-old who, in his debut season, was part of the “Baby Bombers” side that won the 1993 Grand Final.
The apartment has been used as a rental property.

The side also featured AFL legends Michael Long, Tim Watson, James Hird, Gavin Wanganeen and Mark Thompson, and was coached by Kevin Sheedy.
“I believe he’s looking at some more property acquisitions in Indonesia and has some plans to expand the gym business,” he said.
“The F45 business goes really well in Bali because there are so many Aussies who live out there.”

CoreLogic shows Olarenshaw paid $435,000 for the one-bedroom apartment in August 2010 and has rented it out for most of the past decade. He bought the inner-city pad in the same year he put his Jan Juc holiday home on the market.
The Keilor-born wingman retired from football in 2001, following a string of injuries.
He was later involved in player management and the media before making the move to Indonesia.
Olarenshaw’s investment property is for private sale.
