Dermie Brereton took a wrong turn near Glenferrie Rd and ended up at our training by accident - and our players beat the living crape' out of him??!!??

There are some good guesses there, but this player didn't actually come from Hawthorn.

Correct. Doctor Darren Wheildon.
I don't know why he did it. Maybe he was a Hawthorn supporter. Maybe he got it for free. Maybe he just did it for a "stir".
Well the Doctor comes from Gippy, and he played footy with Barry Rowlings brothers Graham and Brian, they come from Thorpdale (my wifes home town), they are Hawthorn supporters and I think Barry was at Hawthorn at the time?, hence the free T/Shirt.

Thanks Levo.
Once on a holiday in Tasmania, we were driving through the middle of nowhere (miles from anywhere), and suddenly, out springs this guy on a tractor that looks like it could have been helping out, digging trenches in WW1 - the guy on it, a veritable Michelin man in farmers garb with a greedy Benny Hill smile, waved, as his juggernaught went past, almost seemingly to a portentous fate - and low and behold, on his pumpkin shaped head, a Fitzroy Lions beanie - which must have been from the 70's or something, as the design and logo was quite old (the beanie was in very certain terms, well-loved as well!).
Now, what bothers me is, why the hell was that guy driving through the middle of nowhere, miles and miles and miles from anything that would qualify as being a reason for driving a tractor around. And not to mention being a Roys supporter too! That threw me into an even further state of disarray! I was like "what the **** is going on here?!".
It was just about as freaky as this time I was stopped in central Australia, by these two hippies in a bongo van, with surfboards on the roof (not lengthwise, as you normally would - but rather sideways, so as you couldn't pass them and stay on the road at the same time). One of them was wearing two shirts and no pants, and the other was wearing two pairs of pants and no shirt! What's the deal with that?!
Ok, it's not really relevant to the discussion, but the Gippsland reference made me think of it! :D
