Chance encounter....

[pinkemu]

I played against Luffy in the late 80's at Nelson Bay,He was a stand out in the team. They used to kick our butts.

I've been to the Kirk's house for a baby shower.

A friend of mine went out one night after one of the Swans functions with Bob Skilton and I think Barry Round. They partied to the wee hours. Apparently Bobby was a bit of a flirt, but charming of course.

I spotted a car with a Swans sticker on it, in Geelong!

I was driving out of Geelong on Friday and saw a massive "Go Hawks in brown paint avross the road

I has a weird encounter at teh Swans family day years ago at the Melbourne Aquarium.
Jude Bolton was just starting out and I had him pose with my kids as he was the only one standing around with nothing to do.
Actually he was out on the balcony and had just got off his phone.

Anyway, he was kind of reserved, but I took the shot and moved on.
Then as I was looking around the room I kept on niticing him staring at me in a very weird way.
It was either a "where do I know you from" look or an "I'm gay for you look"
I'm gonna assume it was the former.

But it creeped me out a bit.

At another family day on some stinking hot oval, I walked up to Barry Hall who was standing around with no-one to talk to.
I asked for a photo and said "do something funny"
He kinda looked at me a bit weird, and then grabbed me by the front of my shirt collar and put on an angry pose for the photo.

That one I will post one day (see negative scanner thread )

OIf topic, I ran into Jim Stynes.
Awesome encounter purely to witness the sheer size of the bloke.
He was an asshole though.
He came into my work and I didn't even convey to him that I knew who he was and he was just rude

Had a work conference at the Crowne plaza hotel on spencer st on Friday, and saw roosy in the lobby with a casual green tee on, talking on the mobile phone, getting ready for the predictable events of the draft...

i see a few people around while at work

the other day i saw ryan griffin and i thought he looked a bit dopey, the next day he won the bulldogs time trial

[shaun..]

Saw Roosey at Sydney airport a few years back, on the way to Bali (I think he was carrying a surfboard) with his family. You don't really appreciate how big the man is until he's nestled amongst the general public.

Also 'bumped' into Tadgh at UNSW this year, didn't realise who he was until he met up with Dan Currie. I swear they just blend in very nicely.

Jared Crouch sat down next to me in the Qantas lounge at adelaide airport a month or so ago.

Asked him if he was over the injuries and he said he was fit and raring to go for next year. He looked in good shape.

Muswellbrook Wildcats, We started in the competition in the late 80's and were made up of about 85% of players that had never played Rules football before. We were the laughing stock of the comp for a while but that only added fuel to our fire.
Were you involved in the competition?
If you were you may remember how bad we were in the beginning. I still remember our first win against Williamstown, fantastic bus ride home

Yea dad was president of Wallsend at that time. I was about 8 when Wallsend won the comp in 1989.
I ended up being president for Cardiff from 2004-2006 as well. Now i'm in London freezing my butt off

I saw Ted Richards and Daniel Currie this year at UNSW as well! And yes, they do blend in nicely.

My friend saw Tadhg limping near the Law Theatre this year as well, it was after he dislocated it after one of the matches.

Ray Dineen is still umpiring now, as he was back then. His son is captain of Newcastle City's first grade side.
