What AFL player have you met?

[Tarkyn_24]

Well I never said he was 3 metres tall and 200 kilos. He's only about an inch taller than me as well. But I still think he is a very big man. If you think he's not that's fine. Go Pies!

That's fair enough.

 

[PIE-BOI]

Buckley (2 times)
Eddie McGuire
Rhyce Shaw, really good bloke.
Alan Didak, me and my mates were having a kick on the Lexus Centre and he was running some laps and we had a short chat with him, he kept looking at us and was probably surprised with the skills
Scott Burns, Licuria, Caracella, Lockyer and Bucks ( Photos With Them )
Andrew Welsh, Scott Lucas, Kouta (All came down to my footy club).
Justin Murphy, Ang Christou while they were training at the club i used to play for.
Lynden Dunn, we used to play for the same club and used to have a kick with him.
Jonathon Hay, walked across me and he gave me and my brother a greasy haha.
Brad Pearce, would always see him up the road with some guys drinking lol.


But I would love to meet the rest of the Collingwood list, Judd, Kerr, J.Brown, Richo, McLeod, Pavlich, Aker and Crawf.

Also met Shayne Stevenson once he returned to Tasmania, he joined my local side after the Southern Cats called it quits. Great bloke, always made time to talk when he was at the club even when he was busy.

It's just a shame there aren't many Collingwood players that I have met.

 

[hellfire]

Basically the entire current Collingwood team.... several others.

I don't personally know many players, my dad went to school with Rodney Eade and Peter Hudson and knew them well, especially Peter Hudson also knew Brodie Holland's family very well especially his parents.

When I was younger I had a kick to kick with Chad Liddell and he seemed like a nice bloke but that's pretty much it, I've met a few who've signed a thing or too and they all are pretty nice, the only gripe I had is with my old jumper from the late 90s (which was signed by everyone from some rookie you've never heard of to Bob Rose and Peter McKenna), Matthew Francis signed the jumper with a big ass "M A T - 2" that took up the space of about 4 normal signatures

On a slightly off-topic note one of my distant relatives worked for Channel 9 and on the Sunday Footy Show and for my 8th or so birthday got them all to sign a card and Sam Newman signed "Happy birthday you idiot". Another weird story is when my father was on some business trip to Sydney he was drinking with some Sydney boys after their GF loss in 96 (I think) and Dunkley (or Luff I forgot) signed a serviete as "Get ****ed - Andrew Dunkley".

Too many to list but I remember when it seemed a big deal to meet AFL footballers, but these days being the same age as a few and going to school, playing footy with them, going out with em etc the gloss has well and truly worn off

But so far I have not met 1 AFL footballer who I walked away thinking negatively of, even players who you get the impression that they are a bit of a w***er are nothing like it when you meet them

 

[JimStynes]

was marking the great marty clarke in a school match one time. my team beat martys easy but i was 3 or 4 years older than him at the time

Hahaha. I went to training pre-season, really wanted photos with Daisy and Dids. I got one with Daisy and his sig, but Dids got a lift back to the Lexus Centre on a buggy instead of walking past me! Hahaha. I've gotta go and get it.

I heard that early this year DT was outselling everyone for Collingwood paraphernalia. Including the great man! A real cult following.
