Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[Tarkyn_24]

I nodded and smiled at Jarryd Roughead earlier this year. He nodded, half-smiled and did a thumbs up.

I don’t know if it was more boring for him or for me. For him, I suspect.

I thought we were connected by one degree of separation for a second there but then I remembered that Jarryd and Jordan are two different people.

There’s still some interesting synergy in this one I think

There’s still some interesting synergy in this one I think

I’ve actually just remembered that the Hawk boys were a table over from me at Oktoberfest in 2017. So do have some form of direct Roughead connection in this vast universe.

Relieved, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to sleep.

An aside - it can’t be long until I start getting invited to the Roughead family Christmas, surely?

Was stuck in traffic on Glenferrie Rd yesterday evening with my window down looking at a Porsche SUV that had just parked on the street next to where I was stopped. Out gets Nick Daicos and suddenly I understand the Scott Pendlebury

quote when he said 'if you're Nick Daicos you can't go anywhere in the entire city' because I immediately felt the urge to yell out 'ayyyyy Nick!! How you doin Little Whisp!!!!' - but he kept shooting my side eyes of 'please for the love of god don't yell at me from your car window' while I grinned at him like a dumbass so thankfully I didn't act like a f*wit.

Even if you said anything little nicky would've avoided contact at all cost.

 

[Barishnakopf]

Saw Josh Worrell and Harry Shoenberg at Queens Street Cafe. Both wearing hats. Both looking like they did not want to be bothered. Did not bother them.

So Nicky.

 

[Sydney Malakellis]

Helped Tim Watson use a self checkout at my local IGA. He didn’t know where to put his card. And then when he eventually did, realised he hadn’t put all his items through (had left a bag of oranges and bread) so called for an attendant to put them through.

He seemed a genuinely nice bloke.

No sign of his son former Brownlow Medallist Jobe Watson, however.

. Grant Tanner and Liam Pickering. They brought me a can of Coke. It was diet. Can you believe it? A time when Coke zero was called diet Coke.

Holy ****en shit.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Met Murray Wrensted, Chris Lewis and Tony Evans in the 90's.

Good blokes.

Did they each chip in 1/3 of the cost of the can?

 

[Beerfish]

Did they each chip in 1/3 of the cost of the can?

They didn't buy it. They just brought it.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

They brought me one each!!!!!! I was thirsty that day.

Cigarettes are trash. Never found the attraction in smoking them. Well I smoked a few as a teen trying to be cool but even then they did nothing for me.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Mick McGaune. I thought he was Harold Bishop.

 

[MisterB]

Saw Luke Ball this morning at Chadstone shopping centre. He looked lost much like I was.

He was looking for a ball. Lost without it.

Mick McGaune. I thought he was Harold Bishop.

Was Madge Maguane with him?

 

[jwikked]

Saw James Jordon in a coffee shop last year. The amount of time he spent thinking when asked "what sized cup" was legitimately crazy. A real 6 second thought process with "ummmm" in there.

Then they asked if he was having it inside, or outside. Another 7 seconds for his mind to figure out that riddle, despite all his friends clearly sitting outside already.

Probably didn't have a hat or sunscreen on either.

Mate Played a game of chess with Simon Estaugh. Said after he beat him he threw the board up in the air in disgust.

I lol'd.

Jab never won a brownlow. Or did Tim try and convince you?
