Molly Meldrum promoting Rugby League and the Storm

[drake]

Caught the end of Molly's interview with Nick Lechey on Sunrise this morning.

Seems the first thing Molly did with the Newlywed was take him to the Melbourne Storm game on the weekend. Molly mentioned how he had taken Nick to the game, and then brought out Jake Webster to meet Nick, and present him with a Storm Jersey with a 1 on the back and "Lechey" below the number.

Great to see a Victorian, and a die hard AFL fan, promoting Rugby League and his local team, not only in Melbourne and national TV, but to an international celebrity.

Well done Molly, if more Mexicans were like you, Rugby League would take it's rightful place at the top of Australian football codes! :thumb

*I'm not a fan of Molly, Melbourne Storm or Nick Lechey, this is my disclaimer.

I think he's been there since day one.

 

[drake]

Yeah, I think so too. Still, I'm glad to see him pushing it when he can.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Pushing what?

 

[Ice777]

I think he's been there since day one.

Yep he has. He goes to every home game he can and he loves Storm with a passion as much as he loves his St Kilda saints. I've often seen him at Olympic Park getting around in his cowboy hat and Storm jersey. Not a good look :lol:

 

[donkey|rope]

yeah he has been with them from the start. i don't care for him, but good on him.

anyone know what ex mr. jessica simpson thought of the game?

 

[shadow grinder]

i was told nick lachey was on sunrise talking to a storm player this morning...anyone know who it was? and if sunrise put videos up on their site?

Jake Webster

Almost as good as the time molly whacked it up Dennis Fitzgerald (on behalf of the Storm) at the Footy show's Logie coverage.

Don't know if he (Nick) enjoyed the game, i hear his eyesight isn't all that crash (he did divorce Jessica simpson after all :crazy: )

 

[shadow grinder]

i thought he divorced her because she was rooting around.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

i thought he divorced her because she was rooting around.

Maybe he was embarrassed to be seen with someone who 'starred' in what will go down as one of the worse movies ever made.

 

[Paullyboy]

Ladies, ladies, ladies - leave that crap for your woman's day magazines would you.

That is good work by big moll though, good to see he's not part of the anti-league sentiment in the melbourne media.

 

[Macca]

Good stuff. Molly is ok.

Lachey, former husband of singer Jessica Simpson, headed to a Melbourne Storm game with music guru Molly Meldrum hours after a long-haul flight from Tokyo.
The sports fan took a keen interest in the match as the Storm took on Wests Tigers at Olympic Park, with Meldrum explaining the finer points of the game.

 

[Glenn]

Doubt Molly would know the finer points of the game ;-)
Good on him for doing a bit to promote the game down there.

 

[shadow grinder]

he has been supporting them for AGES now...im sure he knows the game.

 

[Noa]

he has been supporting them for AGES now...im sure he knows the game.

And before the Storm he did support the Dragons, so he's no johnny-come-lately.

 

[Jasestorm]

Last year during the NRL and AFL finals he painted half his fence at home in Storm colours and the other half in St Kilda.

Apparently Molly is such a fan of the Storm he named his gerbil Ribot

Ahh, John Ribot. The glue that joins Newtown and Melbourne together.
