Love this thread. So reassuring and heartening to come back to.

On a related topic, Jason Gillespie was talking on ABC radio about the price of fame, and said that on average he hears “Diz!” a dozen or more times a day. It’s the soundtrack to his life. It conjured an image of a man walking through a Westfield and little eruptions of “Diz” popping out at him left, right and centre, and from up on the mezzanine.

He said he’s accepted it by and large, but one day he decided to respond. A guy called out “Diz!” and he stopped and said “Yeah, waddya want mate?”

The guy, huge smile across his face, looked around wildly, clearly with no idea what else to say.

After a few silent seconds of grinning confusion, he blurted out “Diz!”

Nasser Hussian stood next to my seat while he was waiting for the press to be let onto the ground after the Test. He had a face like thunder.

Shouldn't this be in the scandals thread?

Loud yet invisible?

What's Diz? I mean this. I mean diz.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

His nickname is Diz, after the legendary Dizzy Gillespie.

Should have asked him if he used to play basketball

I asked him why he has a last name for a first and first name for a last. He laughed and said why not.

Good bloke.

 

[voorhees]

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.

I also saw your old forward Charlie Dixon a week or two ago at unley shopping centre.
small world!

at Doncaster Shoppingtown.

Poor bastard was solo and clearly doing some Christmas gift shopping at Mecca Cosmetica.

Looked as awkward as you’d expect a bloke by himself to look walking into Mecca Cosmetica. There aren’t too many more intimidating experiences.

For an undersized key forward he didn’t look particularly undersized to me.

 

[MisterB]

Undersized is not a term I would use to describe Darling. Brave, for walking into Mecca Cosmetica, definitely.

is enjoying a bevvy with a few mates. Can confirm he is wearing a hat, actually a cap. Gave me a nod at the piss trough but can’t confirm if his wang is at Robbie Nahas length or not. Doesn’t seem to be with other footballers or anyone I recognise.

Also, can confirm he picks his nose and bites his fingernails, also vapes.

I’d had a few pints but I’ve straightened up now.

Yep still got the hair but its grey. If anything a bit thinner

Dipper good bloke. Loved the horses.

Top bloke.

Yeah, nice bloke. Very questionable publican though, at least in his early days in the gig.

In the latter part of his playing career he bought PA's in Grattan St next to Melbourne Uni. He'd clearly done no hospitality at all prior to buying in so I'll cut him some slack, but he had no idea. Me and a mate went in for a counterfeed one lunchtime, which he delivered to our table personally. When I asked him if we could have a knife and fork too, he apologised profusely for his oversight, before getting a dirty set off the finished plate from a nearby table whose diners had just left, wiping the cutlery on their serviette and handing them to me

I once saw Josh Wooden reading the Women's Day in Farmer Jacks

Lol. Why do I find that not hard to believe.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Lol. Why do I find that not hard to believe.

It was pretty funny. Did have a good laugh at the time.

Another one is Dean Cox (When playing).

I saw him driving a Lotus Exige.
Dunno how he fit in the bloody thing
