Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[DQ 4EVER]

Saw Ben Cousins and Ryan Crowley at the races a couple of Saturdays back. They were both dressed very nicely in suits (no ties)

A bit later they removed their jackets because it was hot.

It was uneventful....and my horses lost.

at least you own horses

 

[Former Decathlete]

Haha, not at all! Mate I drive a beaten-up 2013 Commodore, I'd be more likely to have to pay someone to take it off my hands!! Hey WillHayward, was that on Burke Rd a few days ago? Hope I didn't come across as rude, might have been distracted by whatever head-banging bull$#%& was on Spotify at the time!

Cheers,
Rohan

Definitely not rude. Just driving your beast to get from A to B and getting hassled by lunatics.

 

[lumpinee]

Got lunch (just across Fox Footy) and saw Dipper inside, was just gonna post the shopfront but then he came out for air...so, btw he ordered a latte

was he talkin bout himself for a change ?

 

[lumpinee]

I saw Rohan Connelly at the lights the other day. Hes driving some almost classic Holden sedan from the early 2000s. Gave him an enthusiastic thumbs up and I saw him lock his doors and quickly check the windows were up.

Also think I saw Bailey Smith this week too. Think he drives a black Toyota Hilux - pretty new one.

Connolly was eating with a buncha blokes at a nice hotel last week that i frequent occasionally,it was very quiet and i made a deliberate effort no to make any eye contact,i was there for the food only,rule #1,never disturb others whilst theyre eating

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

was he talkin bout himself for a change ?

not sure coz of the noise inside...at the table was a lady and a familiar lookin old man which annoyed the heck out of me that i couldn't ID him...but looked like Graham Munster Kinniburgh (deceased of course)

back to boring bits i ordered the curry, my colleague got the charcoal chicken/chips

 

[bradfisher14]

Saw Dan McStay at Woolies the other night while doing my weekly shop. Poor bloke was still walking with crutches. Extremely boring encounter.

Within 24 hours last week, I had a boring quadrella of ex-player encounters.

stretching before a run (white baseball hat no logo).

Brogan clearly wasn’t slip, slop, slapping either as he had no shirt on.

 

[Franc de Borges]

Saw Ilija Grgic at a Yarraville cafe a couple of weeks back. Knew the face instantly but it took me a while to work out who it was. Finally confirming the name gave me a great sense of satisfaction. He ordered several schnitzel sandwiches.

Hi Rohan

May I please have your beaten-up 2013 Commodore? And what will you pay me to take it off your hands?

[Chief]

I saw Mitch Robinson at The Sporting Globe tonight in Chermside.

Hat or no hat?

 

[Attempted Moustache]

I walked past Buddy Franklin in the Chemist Warehouse in Darwin last week. He was wearing thongs and shorts as befitting the warm climate.
I couldn’t make out his purchase.

The following day I was standing near Cyril Rioli at the Geel-Suns game. The pic was about as interesting as it got.
