Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[Bombermania]

Anthony Rocca was hanging around at Northland SC and Roughie was in the Woolies lolly section just looking at lollies.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Saw Matthew Scarlet after a Geelong game once, about 15 fans asked for an autograph (this was before smartphones took over so no photos) and he stormed past, completely ignored everyone.

You were around before smartphones?

 

[Navi]

Used to see Ben Cousins pretty much weekly at the local cafe about ten years back. I don't think I ever actually spoke a word to him.

 

[Nostradumbass]

What a time to be alive

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I saw E-Mac, Xavier Ellis and Scott Selwood at The Cott in Perth. All very good chaps.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Saw Buddy Franklin and Josh Gibson at Hunky Dory Fish and Chip shop on Clarendon st on a Thursday night, the night before they were playing in a finals game a few years back.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Saw Majak Daw at Harris Scarf once, bought some shoes or something. Funny they had shoes in his size yet never any in my size.

[CourtzMajora]

Saw Bomber Thompson checking out of a hotel I was staying at in Adelaide.

Exciting times.

I'm 37.

 

[umm why not]

I saw Dustin Fletcher at the Coles in Moonee Ponds bakery section. I grabbed a packet of cheese and bacon rolls and I think he got a white loaf toast sliced.

Homebrand? For some reason I picture Fletch one day being one of the richest ex footy players alive one day based on:

• not being too fancy (home brand is just packaged different)
• doing the one percenters ("chicken on special honey, get a dozen!")
• being ruthless when it counts ("that car is an awesome special, and that guy is going for it. I reckon if I subtly stick a leg out here like I'm just lanky we can cause him to stumble and we'll get in first!" just kidding)

I've more than likely got no idea but to me he seems like someone who would have banked most of his coin from playing days.

What do you think?!

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I'm 37.

minus 21

 

[Simon Phoenix]

Before the Bulldogs/GWS Prelim, I walked past Choco Williams outside my hotel. I have nothing further to add.

 

[Scorpus]

I was once on a plane with Mitch Clark. He thought he could exit the plane quickly because he was seated in the second row, but little did he know that I was in the first row, so I exited the plane ahead of him.

 

[Dixie Normous]

Was waiting for a coffee in a café and saw Travis Boak and Brad Ebert playing that stupid Pokémon crap on their phones. I felt embarrassed for them.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Ash McIntosh came to footy training once. He wasn't allowed to run, jump or be tackled.

 

[DapperDong]

Enough about the cricket, what happened when you saw Jack Viney?

He farted, judging by the pong at the time.

 

[DapperDong]

This thread is absolute gold.

- Sat across from Robert Warnock on one of the shitty small planes to Canberra, watching him contort himself was great.
- Talked on the phone to Paul Vanderhaar, absolute deadshit and dumb as a box of hammers.
- Was in line to get a plane to Canberra ahead of Mark Neeld a week after he got the arse, was tempted to ask him if his reality bus was broken down but then I thought differently.

Inspirational.

Van Der Haar installed my pool. He's a lovely bloke.

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

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Caught the train home after a dockers v d's game. Chris Connelly was on the train. Got off at Ringwood East.

Worst person to ever attend Northland more than 200 times, IMO

 

[Jack Stevens]

I've served Chris Pelchen twice at work.

First time it was really busy so I couldn't try to stop him for a chat.

Second time I asked him who his tip for pick 1 was. He laughed at me and said it was too early to say. This was April last year.

 

[Headless]

I once walked past Jack Fitzpatrick. It was somewhere near an IKEA establishment. I can only assume he was on his way to purchasing some sort of pseudo DIY furniture product, or perhaps some Swedish meatballs.

We're not yet on talking terms or a first name basis.

 

[Damon_3388]

Saw Ben Stratton at Chadstone, my friend stupidly went up to him and asked him if he was Ben Stratton, he said no. It was defiantly him

Defiantly indeed.
