Just finished reading the following eye-opener.

Would the AFL's big name players make similarly crazy requests of staff & management? It seems likely. Or at least its a good enough excuse to speculate on what they would if they did.
Eg.
Steve Johnson
A full-length mirror must be provided opposite his club locker. It should be polished a minimum of once per week and scratches must be attended to immediately.
Matthew Pavlich
Hair clippers must be provided by the club, however Matthew has a specific brand he prefers. These have been engineered by a Swiss ergonomics firm for his particular nostrils.
Heretier O' Brien
Insists on wearing a uniform which despite looking identical to the regular Collingwood attire is actually one milli-micron shade of grey lighter. This is because he's better than his teammates and enjoys being reminded.
Lance Franklin
If blow is to be served at the conclusion of a match it must be genuine A-grade Colombian vintage from a reputable grower Lance is familiar with, none of that generic cut-down rubbish.
Chris Newman
Like most ex-captains Chris is willing to simplify his needs to suit the club. The exception is AFL Finals must NOT be discussed within 50 feet of his presence under any circumstances.
Chris Judd
Insists on being paid in cash. I think we can all understand why.
Hayden Ballantyne
Personally requested he not be given a locker by the club as an excuse to steal someone else's.
Drew Petrie
Asks coaches & teammates to pretend the side is about to play an expansion club before each match. Claims it 'helps his preparation'.
Sam Reid
Demands that no potatoes be served with team meals. Says "they make me feel like everyone is staring at me".

Jennifer Lopez demands her dressing room be painted white with white couches. Mary J. Blige insists on a new toilet seat backstage at every performance, while Lady Gaga's cheese should be ''odourless and kept on ice''.
