We still see him occasionally doing his grocery shopping at Coles in Eltham. I never say anything to him though as much as I’d like to. Gotta respect the great man’s privacy.

Fair enough - if it was me though I’d always say “gooday Bruce” as I pass him. I can’t be sure but I’m thinking he would like that.
MightMighties, you and I must live closely- I see the great man sometimes on Bolton St; and once genuflected towards him from a distance, in Were St, Monty

We (missus & I) usually have some sort of Carlton gear on when we see him so maybe next time I’ll give him a nod and see how we go. Suspect I’d get a little Bruce smirk as acknowledgement and that’d do me. I’d die a happy man!

I saw skinny matt at a Bunnings store here on the Gold Coast a few years ago. I wanted to say good day and have a chat but it all happened quickly as he came around into the isle as I was walking out and he looked like he was in a hurry.
I also ran into Peter dean in Brisbane one afternoon going back some years ago …he was jogging with another bloke I didn’t recognise. Yeah can’t stop someone jogging to say good day .

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Is Bruce married?

Could be misremembering, but I seem to recall hearing a story a while back about his wife being the designated telephone answerer in his house (no joke).

However what he did fail to mention is that he was taken by the Hawks before our first pick. So we couldn't have taken him. We did take the Smilie guy but with a very late pick - in the 70's.
Incidentally our first pick that year was used on Matthew Hogg who was a premiership player and played ( I think) the third highest amount of games from that draft behind Crawford and Dunkley. So it wasn't all bad.

Ok I probably heard it wrong but I thought he said hawks picked him after we had our pick.
anyway it was another enjoyable front bar …

Ok thanks…whilst it was a funny story…seems he deliberately misconstrued the story to get the laughs
When I was in high school, I bumped into him at Baker's Delight in Eltham, I shook his hand and said hello. I was so awestruck!
My friend was with me, when we were walking back home, he asked who that was. I said it was the one and only Bruce Doull, which he replies "who, Bruce Tool?" Of course he's a Collingwood supporter!
