Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[3207]

This has become one of the most interesting side stories here. I'm just waiting to get your reaction when you get an invite to his next BBQ.

I’ll supply the Wagyu Vossy, if ya reading this.

I saw former WC Eagle Dean Margetts buying a wrap for lunch on Wednesday. I got the roll of the day.

I haven't bumped into any AFL players recently. Is that boring enough?

just this arvo, Jobe, yes Jobe, with wife, kids, dog at St.Vincent's Garden Playground. The humans were playing with themselves, dog was minding the pram in the far corner so I went to give the dog some love. Jobe and one of the boys came over to get his toy. I had a chat with Jobe about some creep loitering around the Ladies Toilet yesdi (likely some pedo cos he was looking at the kids in the playground) and I was doing a quick patrol to check if the creep was around.

Jobe passed on sage advice....stay vigilant...

he sounded nothing like on TV...ie....NORMAL

boring.

And nice work throwing him off the scent on the identity of who the toilet block creep actually is too CPB

This reminded me of something since I used to live down that way.

Saw Jobe walking up Victoria Avenue one day during drug saga. He looked down. I walked past.

Mrs & I took the pooch 4 a walk, enjoying lunch on the river in Southbank. Oysters & fish at the fish n chips place.
I spied a legendary ex-player with who I assume was his wife, checking the place out, before moving on.

He later came past and asked if they had salmon. When they said no, he opened a bag full of salmon and asked if they could cook it up. Then he shouted cooked salmon for everyone.

Saw Malcolm Blight at Rebel Sport, Marion. He was trying on jumpers, went to the change rooms and couldn't find his wife when came out. She hadn't moved from where he left her.
Also Malcolm was much taller than I expected.
I told my son it was Blighty, my son could not give a rat's toss bag.

Change room you say?

I thought the great man got changed in phone booths…

 

[errant bounce]

I talk to quite a few ex-AFL players through work, a lot of them 300 gamers or premiership players who now work bullshit 'leadership' and consultancy roles and I always want to ask them like 'so... Aker...' like that Inbetweeners where Jay asks the potential Swanage Milf 'so do you wear um, like, stockings and that?'

 

[lumpinee]

well he definitely did at North n possibly Adelaide but not so sure down your way

hey on a side note on Blighty as magnificent as he was he only got the 5 possessions in the '78 Gf loss to Hawks 5 days after taking home charlie ,im pretty sure he werent injured either,ive always wondered what Barras may of said to him if anythin after that performance and Barrass' thoughts on his game that day

We were just simply outplayed by Hawthorn after Half Time then in 1979 was beginning of the end even tho we picked up Dempsey wish we had him around the 1974 to 1978 period would have gone close to winning 2 more flags but Happens.

it bloody rained and rained and rained today right ? as a gardener, I sharpened the hedge trimmer, shears, cleaned the tool shed....early lunch, went to Avenue bookshop, petted the cat that was chilling out on its chair inside the shop, wonder if it read up anything on dogs ? walked out to Brumby's Albert Park, there was Cotch and his perfectly dry Hairdo, about to walk in to pay for his coffee, thought I should ask "any goss on Dusty?" but thought better, just kept my mouth shut and kept going.

Cotch gets his coffee from Brumby’s?

Why does this not surprise me.

Saw Harley Reid outside Data Breach Stadium yesterday. He looked very, very pleased with himself.

 

[Gordon Farkas]

Paul Roos and Al Clarkson were at the next table to me in a pub one day. Found myself standing at the bar next to Roos when we were waiting to order our respective drinks. I offered to shout him. He declined. Politely. Haven’t seen him since. Except on TV. Wouldn’t have shouted Clarkson.

I filled my work van up alongside Paul Roos at a Port Melb servo about 2013.

I filled up with diesel. I assume he filled up with E10 because he seems the type to do so.

 

[SM]

Running into Travis Cloke in a maccas after the 2012 flag and drunkenly congratulating him for not going to GWS and him just looking utterly confused.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

I was at a function a few years back where I ran into Darren Millburn and drunkenly congratulated him for being such an integral part of my 2007 SuperCoach team.
I even invited him to our premiership reunion, but like me and the other 30-odd players, he never showed up.

Did you ask him what earphones he favoured?

 

[Sainter3and7]

I was at Bunnings, getting a key cut for the second time, cause the guy didn't do it right the first time. Dermie was about 4 checkouts across from me. I said to the key guy, "That's Dermott Brereton." He said, "Who is that?" I said "He's a famous footballer." The guy said "Oh, I don't follow football." Couldn't see what Dermie was getting. But my key was right that time.

Apologies for the late question but were you close enough to see if he ordered his usual Soy Latte?
