Not quite fair to say Perris has been "poached" by the Giants, given we cut him when Covid hit, but I do wish the Swans had been able to find a way to keep him.

Goodes talks about publishing his first book (for kids) and casually mentions that there's "a newborn arriving in the next few weeks."
Adam Goodes: ‘We can’t shy away from things when telling history’
Last Saturday I saw K. Jack ordering his lunch from Queen Street Woollahra. I didn’t speak to him.
When I pass current or former Swans players I don’t speak to them.
What is the correct etiquette when you see a Swans player in a shop, on the beach or in a nightclub?
Should you engage them in conversation or leave them be?
What are peoples experiences?
I tend to do as you do and not bother them. A nod or hello while passing by I believe to be OK. But to corner them and start a conversation seems a bit rude. I have a had conversations with many famous people because they came to my bar or restaurant or were partying where I was partying and we met.
But to randomly walk up and start a conversation with someone, who probably just wants to get on with their day, seems a bit rude to me.

I occasionally spot players. Usually I don't approach. Sometimes I do. Generally I have not been rebuffed or felt that my approach was an unwelcome intrusion.
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
Ryan O'Keeffe would coffee in Willunga S.A. at my coffee shop when he was with the Crows. The first time I greeted him with "Cheer, Cheer, Ryan. He laughed. Then we did it every Monday morn.
I think I do the exact opposite to most who have posted on here. I've never hesitated when approaching players. Sometimes the conversation lasts a minute or two. But there have been other times when the exchange has gone on for a while. I've had ripping conversations with Harry C, Reg, Wicks, AJ, Tippett, Davis, Bradshaw, Stephens and one of my favs ... LRT. People are people. We're all the same I find. I just remembered that one my funniest and memorable conversations was with Hayward. He's a pretty funny lad and up for a bit of mischief. At the moment, I'm keen to talk to Brandon about his book and writing process and may get the opportunity as he comes down this way a bit.
I saw Teddy Richards on the street once, a coupe of years after he retired, towards and past each other and just said “the man who kicked Buddy’s arse in the grand final”, offered and got a fist bump, and kept walking. Rock on, Teddy, you legend.
