Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[freddy mercury]

Not an AFL player but literally just bumped into Virat Kholi at Crown Casino, guy is tiny.

 

[kriles76]

Saw Lance Whitnall - not for the first time - playing lawn bowls last weekend. He plies his trade for Brunswick Bowls Club these days. I think his trio lost.

 

[Cuzz09]

I saw Mick Martin at a camping ground in Apollo Bay. He didn’t say anything, I guess he didn’t know who I was.

U sure it wasn't the Bunyip?

hopefully it wasn't at the urinal

hopefully it wasn't at the urinal

Just out the front of village cinemas. Strange as it was 2pm 5 hours before a game. I think they're in the same hotel as I am tonight.

No, but can confirm he took a stump.

He’s still his own trio, right.

 

[The hands of stone]

Was watching a few mates play cricket at the weekend , as you do snuck into the rooms to pinch some players only arvo tea.

While I was inhaling a few party pies my mate said ' hey you just stood next to Jake Carlisle '
A quick scan across the room confirmed this as being correct , the scorebook later also confirmed this .
He was wearing a hat during this encounter

 

[Goomba1973]

not AFL but I was at the Esplanade hotel in Fremantle when the Springboks were in town to play the Wallabies about 20 years ago. Was standing next to Joost van der Westhuizen at the concierge desk .... he farted and giggled to himself

 

[PhatBoy]

If we are going away from AFL players I had coffee next to former Tour de France cyclist Mark Renshaw this morning. No interaction, a quick ‘thanks’ to the cashier and into his bike shop van. Peak boring

at the Melbourne Cup last year.
I wanted to say something but I realised that I'm an awkward bastard , and so is he.

So I decided against it, and that's all.

. Weightman and Lucas were talking about the price of Subways in Iceland. I just kept my eyes on the in-lift monitor showing Sky News.

Don't bury the lead. What's the difference in the price of Subways in Iceland?

 

[Financialpanther]

Don't bury the lead. What's the difference in the price of Subways in Iceland?

Definitely need to know what a meatball sub costs in Hafnarfjörður

Weightman said it was something like $38 Australian for a sub in Iceland.

Was going for a walk this morning with the missus.

Two big blokes run past us at pace. I say “They must be footy players.”.

Missus asks why I say that. “Because they are tall, running fast, and look like footy players.”.

They turn around so I can see their faces. They were footy players.

Then we walked home.

PS it was Jack Silvagni

Haha, I saw Pittonet running the Merri Creek trail one day and said to the missus that I thought it was an AFL ruckman as it's not often I seen people running that fast down that trail, and usually when they do they're about 60kg and 168cm - not 200cm/100kg+ lumbering giants

The next time I saw him, I made sure I got a good look at his face and yep, it was Pitto

at the local aths track two weeks ago. He's really tall

 

[Falcon3518]

When I was in high school I worked at Target part time. One day I served Jono Brown at the registers. One of the tallest guys I’ve ever seen and my god he is dopey. He just says yeah with a smile and deep laugh lol. Pretty much how he is like on ‘On the couch’ but less knowledgeable.

on Glenferrie Rd. You could see him looking around hoping somebody might recognise him and ask for an autograph.

Nobody did.

He looked lonely.

 

[JackOutback]

Was he wearing his Norm Smith?

 

[Bernard Toohey]

I stood next to Jimmy Bartel at the counter at Sandwich Chefs in Southland last week. I got pork. He went for beef.
