Most Boring VFL/AFL Player Encounters/Sightings.

[The Sultan]

Was at the surf beach at Tathra and saw a skinny, pasty white red head, it may have been Clayton Oliver, but red heads are god greatest mistake so I didn’t give him a Second look

I saw Craig McCrae at the tennis. He was wearing dress shoes with shorts and no socks. I might tell the Herald Sun.

Massive if true.

I'd prefer if you referred to them as "members of our in-ginger-nous community"

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

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

Nobody did.

He looked lonely.

The house down near the beach not doing it for him? Still wants to relive the old stomping ground does he?

Shane Biggs on a bucks night at the Duke of Wellington near Fed Square a few months ago. Just randomly sat down at our table started talking rubbish about how he played AFL as he was well on his way drunk wise. Ended up chatting for 10 minutes when he found out we knew who he was and he was wrapped. Seems a pretty genuine bloke albeit a bit cocky.

Was invited to a work fishing trip in port phillip bay in the 90s by my work boss who was a mad Carlton supporter and sponsored Greg Williams. (Greg was playing at the time and Carlton supporters were pretty well known to be insufferable in this era).

Greg came on board with us and the boat was too small to avoid awkward glances. And that was as far as it got, awkward glances around the boat and no conversation. Fish weren't biting either, so friggin stuck on a boat for hours bored out of my skull...

Bloke is a genuine A grade flog.

There was certainly a bit of that floggishness when we were chatting. We played along with what he was saying pumping up his tyres a bit but I rekon he's no different to quite a few ex footy players. Legends in their own minds living off past glories sort of thing. Wasn't any sort of deep conversation just general shit talk about footy.

Went to the shops once and lined up behind Brendan Lade.

He bought alot of eggs.

I saw Jack Viney walking into Freemasons hospital at the end of last season.

He was holding his baby. His partner had the nappy bag.

8 am, Dimma walking his golden lab crossing Byron St Elwood, grey top black, trackydacks

this time not the usual boring sighting cos....Alex Crow was there too, black puffer jacket...unlike the lab, she wasn't on a leash

Thinks I saw Cameron zurcar at RHCP on Tuesday, he was with a few mate, or it could’ve been the entire north fan base

Dude that sat behind me I think was a player / or ex player couldn’t quite place who he was. Thought it would be floggish to ask

Speaking of which. Was at RHCP as well. A mate said De Goey was standing behind us, but by the time I turned around he had walked off.

walking to the first tee at golf. I mistook him for the golf pro with his shirt nicely tucked into long trousers. As we crossed the bridge he asked me how I hit them on the front 9.

Sorry, that’s one for the Most boring AFL/VFL player near encounters/sightings thread.

Lucky its here then?

 

[JackOutback]

Nope, this is for encounters, not near encounters. Hate to be gatekeeping this thread but we really must keep the boring encounters pure.

Yeah true. Seeing DeGoey walk off not in hand cuffs is pretty unusual and boring though

 

[Chief]

Alex Crow was there too

Daily Mail have some good words to say about her.

 

[CH Jazz]

Work at a very large corporate. Cripps was in the lobby for a few hours this week fulfilling a sponsorship obligation. Boring AF.

a few years back. Unfortunately we were only able to take one wicket in his team's entire innings, so never got to see him bat.

 

[justlookingaround]

I've got a friend who's a kiwi and works at some coffee place near Punt Road.
He serves a bunch of Tigers boys and they seem to like him cos he doesn't know who they are.
The two he could name were Prestia and Soldo - said they're nice guys.

 

[justlookingaround]

I feel like I might've already posted this in this thread,
but 2017, my mum was picking me up from the airport and told me my dog died while I was away.
Get into the elevator and Harry Taylor was in there with his wife and maybe a baby?
Anyway, I tried to pretend I wasn't crying.

came up on the big screen showing the crowd at Harry Styles last night. He got embarrassed and tried to hide his face
