Brad Miller. At an after match function at Subiaco, Perth about three years ago. Just about everything was over and we were just hanging around having a few drinks. My 5 year old son was running around the social club and went "awol", found him sitting over against a wall with Brad Miller chatting away like they'd known each other all their lives. I think Brad said he has younger brothers and sisters (Brad is one of six??) and spent quite a bit of playing with him. Also took time to talk about holidays and other non football related stuff.
Left very impressed that a 20 year old had his head so firmly screwed on and was so down to earth.
The same night I also got to talk and have a few beers with Andrew Leoncelli and Stephen Tingay after the players had left. That was pretty cool.
Best of all was talking to Brett Ratten (then mid field coach) and asking him if he was telling people he was a better player after he had retired, Ratten didnt get it and a couple of other people around us cracked up. He left us at the end of the season, was it something I said?
