Title: Tips for a "star struck" Tiger fan
Post by: mat073 on February 09, 2009, 04:42:10 PM
As a Perth based Richmond supporter I am very excited to be attending the cocktail party at Burswood Casino on friday.Im even allowing my Freo docker supporting wife to come along too(but only if she keeps her matthew pavlich loving mouth shut).
I have never been up close and personal with the players before but desperate to get autographs ,photos ,Pictures signed etc.Anything to turn my office into a shrine to the RFC.
Would appreciate any tips regarding etiquette when approaching players...what they like/hate.
Cheers.

Just be polite and not pushy as you would with anyone. Most players are happy to sign an autograph and have a pic taken (especially if it's with or for a kid). Keep things to sign to a minimum otherwise you'll come across as an ebayer. There's always the brief footy smalltalk about how preseason has been going and wishing them the best for the year.

ps. Cuz doesn't do photos.

pps. Don't tell Rainesy he looks like his dad. I would say he's heard that one or two million times before lol

Matt if you go up to Cuz and whisper in his ear that you are a mate of "Burl's", a rare photo opportunity might be forthcoming.  ;) Just don't get him to sign a copy of Cleo magazine or say you are a mate of Damina Barrett's.  :lol

matt should go up to Cuz with the burly man's photo and ask Cuz if he can get "Burl's" autograph so he can frame it and put it in the pool room   :lol.

Sorry MT

Once I got my photo with Richo I was on Cloud 9 and the rest of the night was a blur.I can say that TW very confident about success this year.
