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
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.
 
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.
 
Saw Mason Cox a few days ago in Freo, still in training gear. He had just purchased what looked to be a smoothie
 
Saw Mitch Georgiades at Unley Woolworths a few weeks ago holding a spring onion if I remember correctly. Far out he’s a big guy in person.
 
Leigh Colbert. 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.

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.
 
My great uncle once waited in line behind Malcolm Blight during this playing days while he was buying a packet of Winfield Blue cigarettes

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

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