You've Got Wood - Millie Hanscombe

posted ‎‎Oct 29, 2009 6:28 PM‎‎ by Chris Wood   [ updated ‎‎Oct 29, 2009 7:26 PM‎‎ ]

Boats, Car’s, Full Time Work, Girlfriends, Family Functions, Committee Rooms, Mates, Cricket, Games of Golf, Video Productions and more….. How does Nick Spargo fit it all in?

 

The answer; He Doesn’t!

 

First on the chopping block; Mates and Cricket

 

So hectic is the schedule of one Nicholas William Spargo that he is barely able to find time to attend Committee meetings and the thought of giving up an hour of his life to attend Cricket training sickens him. There is even a nasty rumour circulating that he is the one cancelling all the 2nd XI games so he doesn’t have to “waste another Saturday afternoon with the same bunch of losers..” N. Spargo (25/10/09)

 

Here at You’ve Got Wood, we sat down with the delightful, gorgeous and always charming better half of N.W. Spargo to find out what life is really like in the “real” world and how she handles the public pressure and spotlight that comes with being the WAG of and Old Scotch Cricketer.
 

 

A touch over 2 years ago, Amelia Hanscombe, bored by the lack of a TV in her family’s home, was looking for something to throw herself in to. Amelia got off the couch and promptly signed up for the Melbourne University Law Review. Little did she realise that a goofy yet immaculately dressed Video Geek was about to sweep her off her feet and change her life forever…

 

Statistic: 10 of the first 15 photos on Nick Spargo’s facebook page are couple shots… Beautiful.

 

Q.  Millie, it’s great to have you here and let me start by saying, you’re looking great as always…. Now, the term WAG gets thrown about a lot, how do you feel about being classed as a WAG?

Thanks Chris, you’re so charming. To be honest, I think it is a privilege. I know some girls call the term ‘insulting,’ ‘demeaning’ or ‘chauvinistic,’ but I prefer to take it as a compliment. Us Old Scotch Cricket WAGs (I like to call us “SCWAGs”) are of a high pedigree – we’re right up there with the likes of Simone Warne and Bec Hewitt so consider yourself lucky boys!

Besides, being a SCWAG is super cute. It’s like saying “Scrag” with a speech impediment. I find it adorable.


Q.  Is there competition between the WAG's at the club? Rumour has it some of the WAG's (M. Andrew) don't see eye to eye with the other girls....

Are you kidding? SCWAGs are besties.

There may be some minor competition as to who launches a TV career first but if one of the girls were to release a single I wouldn't begrudge her the happiness of riding on the coat-tails of her more successful sporting partner.

Who else has to sit there watching a game that has the fun factor of watching paint dry? There’s nothing else to do but bond ☺
 
 
We are soooo photogenic....

Q. You're always looking dressed to suit the occasion, any styling tips for girls attending the Cricket?

I would have to say I take my fashion cues from Tania Buckley. She’s been in the WAG business since the term was created and who else would pull off a sparkly thong with frosted pink lipstick?

That being said, at any given match I recommend keeping it low-key…the odd eye-popping top has caused accidents in the past and I’m just not willing to put Nick through the humiliation again.

Best to stick to the old white skirt/pearl necklace/pastel sweater combo, girls!


Q. Whose your favourite player at the club and why?

Well, there is one scrumptious player who knows how to bowl a lady over in one fell swoop.

He’s a brown haired Adonis with a penchant for boating, he has big googly
eyes and a delicious lisp. Need I say more? (Ask him to say “delicious
lisp,” you’ll melt.)
 
 
 
After a tough game at the snakepit against DOOLEY..

 

Q. How do you and Nick fit it all in? Boats, full time work, family functions, overseas holidays, video productions... It must be tough?

It is tough but I guess we just live by Nick’s guiding philosophy: “hit a six in every facet of life!” No commitment gets Nick down, whether it be attending the Committee Room at the MCG, playing cards at a family BBQ or sprucing up the boat for a bit of a “joy ride.”

Now this isn’t widely publicized, but there are plans afoot for work on the Spargo farm down in Geelong. We’re looking at building a bit of a ‘commune’ where both our families can live. Nick wants to build something with a real rustic feel, we’re thinking simple Bose sound system, home theatre, boat shed(s), and inbuilt silver buckets where you can spit out your wine after wine-tasting, all classy-like.

I’m hoping to add the pitter-patter of tiny feet in the next year or so, so things will only get busier! Lots to look forward to Nickypoo!

Q. Any last words for the players and supporters of the OSCC?

Boys, make me proud this season and you’re all welcome down to the farm. I look forward to beating my record one-game attendance last season, and in the words of the immortal Don Bradman, “Go Scotch Go!”

 

 

Millie it’s been an absolute pleasure, we thank you once again and look forward to seeing you cheering on the boys this year.

 

Next week we check in with the boys on tour and chat to the OSCC’s Official Mascot, Mr Motivator…
