        James Brayshaw - worked with the MMM guys, Billy was very friendly and pretty much like you see on screen. JB was next level arrogant.

          I don't know anything about him personally except that he drinks mid-strength Peronis so you're probably right.

            Are you sure that wasn't me? The bucks started at the races before the Caracella "flog de resistance" crumpled suit incident.

              It might well have been - did it involve you getting a lift with him after the races?

                More accurately NOT getting a lift with Blake.

                        To me I guess arrogance isn't offensive if someone can back it up with results.

                        The most apparently arrogant sportsman I have ever seen on any sports field was West Indian Viv Richards. His whole body language thing made even his opponents question whether they had earned the right to be on the same field as him. Most times he had won the battle before it had even started.

                        However if you talk to old players there has never been a nicer bloke, off the field.
                        The truth will set you free,
                        but first it will piss you off. ... Gloria Steinem.

                          Roos was responsible for everything good for Melbourne and anything bad was because of the old regime. That's how he approached things

                              Incorrect answer. Should read '60's, 70's, 80's & 90's.

                                Can think of many. Brendan Fevola one of the great 'buffoons' - But his arrogance was a saving grace for Carlton in Dark Ages of Elliot era. Blues fans had little else to turn up for than to watch him act out.

                                'Stops out' Toby Greene.

                                Damien Barrett, Hutchy, Robbo and Caroline Wilson. Scraping the bottom of the sports journalism barrel with this lot. But wrap these steaming turds, spray it gold and label it ' Walkley Award winning Journalist'. She'll be right.

                                Ross Lyon's Press conferences could only be called arrogant. Mick Malthouse wasn't much better to the Journos. At times I felt they were going after journalists as a way of deflecting attention from their player's performances on field. Borderline bullying in some cases.
