Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[Frank Gallagher]

Me and a mate played pool against Buckley and Willow at the Tunnel one night, nice blokes, they were gracious in defeat.

Saw Scott Wynd at the same venue, i said Gday and he told me to F off.

Saw Fev at the Royal hotel in Benalla a couple of years back, very nice bloke.

Took a photo of a mate of mine with Rockliff at the Benalla cup 2 years back, also a very nice bloke.

I once saw Matthew Lloyd and his wife in a Supermarket car park. He expertly steered the trolley through two cars.

I saw Simon Goodwin at junior basketball a few weeks back. We were in the same room as they did presentations.

I saw Matthew Bate going up the escalator at Oakleigh shopping centre. I was going down. It was after a game and I was wearing a Melbourne polo. We looked at each other. I think we got beaten that day.

I previously worked in construction and was working at Waverley Park when they were converting the stand to Hawks HQ. Saw Jason Dunstall walk through. He was employed by Hawks at the time.

Saw Heath Black at the gym I went to years ago. He was back home from Freo over off season. I spoke to him as I played juniors with him. He said he remembered me but not sure if he really did.

Saw Simon Godfrey at the Village Green Hotel. He was friends with a friend of mine. Had a brief chat.

 

[Goats]

I used to serve Fev and his fat mate when I worked at a TAB, his mate used to place bets on the footy.

Saw Poppy jogging around Rowville a couple of years ago. I yelled out "beautiful stride Poppy" - like the f**king idiot I am.

I saw Hodgey at a booze bus

 

[Cursed Cat]

There were many rocca sightings at northland. Worse than the greenzy boyz down at geeensborough plaza, he was

Saw the big lug at Norfies just the other day - surprised he hasn't blown up more post-career, looked in reasonable nick.

Served Shane Crawford and his missus once at Village (gold class) when I very briefly worked there - he was polite, his missus however was a rude woman. Paled in comparison to serving Ian 'Harold' Smith at the same venue.

I am %85 sure I once saw Michael Voss holding hands with a bloke in Fitzroy once.

 

[Cursed Cat]

My wife and baby ran into Dean Cox and Beau Waters at a cafe in Leederville a few years ago. I found out about it when she texted me a photo of Cox and Waters, with Waters holding my kid.

As long as your wife wasn't holding Cox, play on.

 

[animal ritz]

Served Heath Shaw at Nando's.

Grant Birchall bumped into my chair in a Japanese restaurant, saw Jack Viney in the same restaurant the same night.

And my most memorable:
Got caught walking amongst a group of Essendon players coming back to Windy Hill from lunch. Was a little awestruck. Was with my dad at the time who cared to point out the fact that I'd gone bright red. Just slightly mortifying for a 16 year old girl

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Not a player, but walked past Anthony Hudson at the airport once.

A week later I was bragging to a mate about my brush with fame. Showed him some pics from the day.

It wasn't Hudson I'd seen. It was Steven King.

First it was the Isaac Smith videos, now it's Stephen King stories/posts.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I saw jack watts eating a toasted cheese sandwich in a bookshop cafe in Richmond.

I just reread that sentence. It's just so absolutely boring. Not even a tremble of interest there.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Not a player, but walked past the Dalai Lama at Singapore airport once.

A week later when Iwas back in Melbourne town, I was bragging to a mate about my brush with fame. Showed him some pics from the day.

It wasn't the Lama I'd seen. It was Steven King.

 

[Jeff76]

My wife saw Dean Brogan going off his head at some dude in a newsagent, cops had to calm the big tosser down.

 

[Handsome_Jack]

I once sold Brad Ebert a pair of Sunglasses a couple of years ago around Christmas time, he was there with his girlfriend. They bought the cheapest non kids pair in the store, probably should have upsold him but it was my second to last day and I was mentally checked out of the job by that point

Much like the man himself.

I thought I saw Nic Nat once but it was just some kid in blackface.

Easy mistake to make, King looks like a llama.

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

Richard Osborne is currently working night shifts on our rail job.

 

[dmc333]

Looked out the window at work one day and down in the car park BT was getting out of a Toyota Yaris.

 

[Jacob1996]

Beau McDonald slept at my house

 

[JordyLuke]

Walked past pre-drug scandal Hird in Essendon a couple of times when I lived near there, each time near the 7/11.

Walked past Dusty Fletcher in Essendon last year and was shocked by how skinny the dude was.

Two weeks ago I saw Shane Parker walking down King Street, he was wearing a grey shirt & beige shorts.

What do I win for winning this thread?

Nothing, because I can one up that.

My aunty is Shane Parker's cousin.

My aunty is Shane Parker's cousin.

But that would mean she is also Dan Parker's cousin so you lose points!

 

[Hotdees]

Saw Robert Harvey at the cox plate. All I said was "Chris Mayne really". He just said it wasn't my decision

 

[SwampCreature]

Two weeks ago I saw Shane Parker walking down Stephen King Street

Was he holding seven gatorades?

 

[Trip3101]

I saw Aaron Sandilands at garden city in Perth once. Very tall

Also saw Tony Modra get into a car in a McDonalds carpark once. The first three letters of his number plate were AFL

 

[Wesley2]

Nearly bumped into Dipper at the footy once while I was taking an ambitious bite of a meat pie. The pie survived the encounter.
