Was at the Tunnel one night with a mate of mine and we ended up ruling the pool table, Nek minnit Bucks and Willow throw their $1 into the ring, I was awestruck, couldn't believe it, my wing man was an ex Fitzroy man, we knew who they were but we didn't let on, long story short we won the day, Bucks broke off a convo to come and shake our hands and say well done, TBH I don't remember if Willow did or not, Bucks was all I remembered. _________________ Defender...........

Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it. |

1991 Melba's night club Gold Coast
Daicos had kicked 13-1 (by memory)
Was standing at the end of the bar with the manager Mark Potts when Daicos Kelly Shaw & Gaffyer walked in
As was customary in those days the manager would offer high profile sporting people complimentary drinks
Craig Kelly wandered over with Tony Shaw and said thanks for the drinks to me by mistake as I was standing next to the manager
I said your welcome any time boys and congrats on last season |

As a family we emigrated from the UK late in 1976. In 1977 my parents were completing some forms at a government department in Melbourne, and when leaving the building with their two sons got stuck in a lift for 20 odd minutes. There was a man in there who was very kind to them, and wished them all the best in Australia, and for the family (he started the conversation by asking whether the boys were going to play football). A few days later my parents saw Tommy Hafey on TV and recognised him from the lift. By the time he was wrongly sacked (i remember signing a petition in Swanston Street that day) to have him re-instated, I had become hooked. There are few genuine leaders in life. Tom Haffey was one of them. That image of him bounding down from the coaches box at Victoria Park at quater time (with the tshirt on) was very cool. _________________ Dispatches from a foreign land |

The infamous sports bar on king street. 1996? 1997? It was the year we recruited big Anthony Rocca to come and play from Sydney to join his brother.
I cant remember the circumstances of how I we ended up in the situation but we were facing off against each other on a mini golf mat trying to sink putts in order to win a 50 dollar drink card. Had a good chat during and after and I'm proud to say I drank my lions share that night.....sorry ant...probably was in your best interest anyway!
Otherwise I am quite good friends (harking back to my high school days and junior footy) with a current assistant coach.....wrong club though! If only he would come to the pies....I could get all the juicy stuff. _________________ No Pressure, No Diamonds

Think it was 2002? The night the Pies beat the Lions at the then Colonial stadium by 3 points. Still to this day the loudest game I've been too! Peter McKenna was on the tram surrounded by Collingwood faithful and all referring to him as Mr McKenna. I was in disbelief.
Also bumped into Tooves in the mcdonalds toilets at Torquay a couple years ago. Bit awkward to start a convo though! |

Well McKenna was a school teacher so I see that occurring. _________________ " Ohhh Banksy and out comes the Note Book".

Did you find the balls to tell him he can't coach?? Did you tell him he's taken us backwards?? Or are you only brave enough to say it here where Bucks has no right of reply ,especially to your anonymity?? |

I had tunnel fluff under each arm, so nah.
I used to do quite a bit of damage at the tunnel, that carpet didn't get sticky on its own _________________ Defender...........
