Players you've seen out and about

[HAWKS HEROES]

Was out at star bar a while back, fair few current and ex AFL players there running amuk. One of them being for Essendon and Hawthorn defender Danny Jacobs, who's actually not a bad bloke, but boy can he drink!

I was standing at the bar next to him and I shit you not he carried 3-4 bourbon and coke glasses in each hand, he's massive.

Anyway he knew a few of the guys I was with so he introduced himself to me. After chatting with him for a while I decided to head upstairs for a look, when I saw this glamor dancing with a woofa friend, me being the el creepo I stood next to her, Mr Bean style, and proceeded to pull off some awesome dance moves that I thought would woo her. It didn't and I fell arse over trying to be a legend.......

But wait, WTF she's laughing and helping me up off the ground - you beauty!
We talk, dance, drink and exchange numbers, and by the time the joint is ready to close she's thinking of a way to ditch the duff.

We eventually do the phantom and hop in to a taxi outside, sechs is on the cards, I tell the driver our destination, and he starts to drive off when all of a sudden some lunatic jumps in front of the cab and tells us to stop..
I wound down the window and it's D.Jacobs off his chops, he jumps in between us and says we are splitting the fare!!!

We arrive to drop him off and as I'm sayin seeya to him I hear the other door shut, I look up and the bitch is standing there looking sheepish! I ask her what she's doin and she says ohh she can't be too far from home so she'll stay here with him and get home easier!!!
You little skank
SHUT DOWN.
FML.

I should have just taken Susan Boyle.

hope they did not leave you with the full fare

[SUNS]

Been a lot of players from a variety of clubs out my way this offseason. At one stage we had players from Adelaide, Geelong and Hawthorn all at the Outback Pioneer hotel as well as James Hird and Eddie McGuire dining together there. All on the same night.

Have also had to politely ask players from both My club and West Coast eagles to leave licenced premises due to being intox haha. No further troubles though

[craxzydan]

Saw Chris Mayne walking around E-shed markets with his GF yesterday.

 

[drummond2fevola]

Is he still coaching Kalamunda? He was coaching them way back when I used to pull on the boots. He's a good man.

He was a better coach at Scarborough

Buddy Franklin was filming a Foxtel ad in the street next to mine

Years ago my friend did his knee seeing Oasis at a festival called Livid. We'd all been separated so didn't know he was hurt, he was sitting down on the side of the stage and Jacobs came up, checked on him and made sure he was alright. Awesome bloke

When I was a kid Matty Armstrong and Wayne Schwass lived around the corner. Armstrong was fantastic and took us to the park a couple of times for a kick and gave us each an old Sherrin. Schwass wasn't so friendly

 

[Dukes Of Hurley]

Got a photo with David and Andrew Swallow a few months back at doncaster shoppingtown, great blokes

Also consistently see rob murphy with his child and marc murphy at shoppo too
Infact, last week, i saw kade simpson, bryce gibbs, jordan russell and papa smurf all having a coffee there. I wanted to go say hi, but i thought it'd be a bit rude to interrupt their coffees

I was doing some shopping and glue, then i turned around BOOM, all of a sudden, sidebottom and beamsy were looking at the jeans next to me. Steele is a nice guy

 

[dajesmac]

Not AFL, but I saw Socceroo Lucas Neill buying bread in my local supermarket yesterday. In ****ing Abu Dhabi.

Got the shock of my life, turns out he just signed for the local club here. He is now staying in my street.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Blast from the Past.

Had drinks a few times with Paul Van der haar and the boys at THe Chevron on a Monday or Tuesday night in the early 1980's.

Close thread. Probably still recovering.

 

[mick7]

kicked it in canberra doing kareoke with matthew lloyd, brad johnson and michael o'loughlin.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Met Buddy Franklin at the 2009 Hookers Balls in Darwin. Only shook is hand and said g'day... Apparently he had a lot of women that night

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Luke Dalhaus spotted my son at the Pyramid Rock festival, probably the only one there wearing his 2012 bulldogs cap, gave him the thumbs up. He was having a good time with a few mates, was friendly but didn't want to be bothered which was fair enough.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Have seen Melksham out at Eastland strangely enough

 

[lock33]

Ahh the annual dobbers thread..

 

[believe_it]

Dean Cox and Peter Bell on different occasions at a Dome coffee shop in Claremont .
Matt de Boer with hot girlfriend at shopping center also in Claremont - he is taller than he looks on TV.
Aaron Sandilands with extremely hot girlfriend at a restaurant.
Mark LeCras came into my place of work once with girlfriend - yep youv'e guessed it - incredibly hot. Line ball between Sandi's and LeCras for hotness difficult to pick the nicer - a choice I will never be in a position to make.

And ex players going back a bit -
Peter Bosustow at a shopping center.
Peter Matera at my work
Robert Wiley at a Party
Mark "Jacko" Jackson at a nightclub

On a plane back from a club footy trip to Melbourne in 2004, spot Chris Judd sitting all alone in a back row (must have come back late to spend more time with family?), sat next to him as he was marauded for autographs. Got him to sign my boarding pass.

See Embley quite a bit, goes to my local shops can often be found driving around my area in his Lexus.

Saw Eric Mackenzie in the line for the cesspool that is Club Bayview about 2-3 hours after the Eagles vs Demons game this year, which I thought was a little odd. His mum taught me at school, funnily enough.

Saw Tom Swift at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago. When you see him in person you realise just how long his neck is.

Used to go to the gym at the Claremont Footy Club where many Eagles players trained. Saw Will Schofield the most (which was odd because he plays for Peel in the WAFL) and spoke to him a few times. Nice guy, quite funny too. Trains his arse off in the gym.

Was walking to a nearby friend's house for a themed party a year or so ago dressed in a sombrero, poncho and brown boots, with one friend in a fat suit and another in a toga. Walking past a local pizza restaurant, I spot Matthew Pavlich sitting at the lone outside table, staring at us in confusion and disbelief along with his table of friends.

Am I the only one who is too nervous to speak to players if I see them out & about? Feel like I'm disturbing them.

Don't see Swans players that often... I see the sea eagles (NRL) players often though, pretty much a guarantee once a week. Live in the same area.

 

[strauchanie59]

Saw Ted Richards in Kings Cross once and Sam Burgess (NRL) in the same place 3 times.
Not much else in Sydney though.

Saw heaps of people at the draft. Chris Scott, Neil Balme, GWS players were ones I talked to along with Chad Wingard who is a top bloke and even still we talk regularly.

 

[Noobz0r]

He was a better coach at Scarborough

Let me guess...

 

[mightypies9]

Walked pasted Mickey O at the 2011 Grand final, said hey, he actually waved smiled and said "have a good one boys!" which was quite polite lol

also walked past richo said "hey" but he snobbed me lol, and Danny Frawley walked past me on the steps he looked pissed off though so didnt disturb him

thats the extent of my interaction with anyone from AFL..

Not the only one. I've only seen players, never talked to them, and I probably wouldn't unless there was a direct reason too.

 

[fpm84]

Surprised that a big group of players were at my local pub (Brunswick, Melbourne - not a usual footballer hangout) tonight.

Players included Selwood, Mackie and Stokes (Geelong), Rosa and Brown (WCE) and Jack, Bird and Rohan (Sydney).
All behaving themselves and polite to any fans that approached them...
