    Resource Vintage Brisbane Bears/Lions Multi-Media Mega-Thread

    To complement the long-running Fitzroy video thread on the Roys board, thought it might be time for a compilation thread for old timey Bears/Lions matches/highlights/interviews etc found on the yoochoob. 1996 Qualifying Final (first finals match at Gabba) 1991 AFL Reserves Grand Final...

    Getting in early for next season! 2016 NEAFL fixture Unless I've miscounted or misread, we only get 7 home games :confused: : 5 at the Gabba (!), 1 at Yeronga and 1 at Burpen-flopping-gary. Go us!

    Umpiring and the reduction of congested play

    Thoroughly enjoyed Clarko's segment on this week's On The Couch, in particular suggested remedy for the 'congestion malaise' currently afflicting football. 'Don't change any rules, just pay free kicks and open up the play'. Whoda thunk it!? Seen it Skoob ?

    Injury Thanks from Retzy

    Hi all. Just received a message from Bryce's Dad and he asked me to pass this on to everyone here. 'Retzy wants to send a massive thank-you to all the wonderful and positive well-wishers. He is overwhelmed by all the support and wants to say how much he appreciates it.' :footy:

    Brad Gotch and his jumper number

    I've seen it noted a few times of late that Little Bradley Gotch played some 20 senior games in the #57 guernsey. Example 1 Example 2 Example 3. I can't, for the life of me, remember him wearing it once! You'll see LBG (on debut) run across the screen about 18 seconds into this clip wearing his...

    Well, the 2011 NEAFL (:o) fixture is done. =436&tx_ttnews[backPid]=4&cHash=354f3abd88"]Link to story. Might have to wait 'til they fix up their own link to get to the nitty gritty. An excerpt: "Unbalanced draw" springs to mind.

    I.D. this pic, anyone?

    Found it in mum's chest. Now-now, you know what I mean. 1940-something, at a guess.

    Just a few pics

    I've recently been handed a few old 70s-vintage family slides that my brother had managed to salvage. A handful of them were taken at The Junction. Thought I'd share 'em with yers. Kevin Murray entering the arena for his 350th senior game (including East Perth stint) Muzz and Billy Goggin...

    Cuppla things

    Anyone heard any whispers about what the bottom line might be for 2009? And is it kosher having a member of the board also the MD of the major sponsor? Just askin'.

    H&A losses that still stick in your craw

    What are the games that continue to bug you to this day? Days when their was a big prize in the offing for a victory, but for one reason or another we just couldn't pull it off. There are two obvious finals contenders which everyone would probably nominate, so let's keep to home and away...

    Full marks to the Cats

    Thought they were more determined, more disciplined and harder at the footy. Beat us at our own game, really. We didn't handle the conditions too well. Continually played from behind when kicking into the wind. Thought the play-the-defensive-side-of-the-ground-at-all-costs strategy was too...

    Spaanderman

    I said in another thread - and I still haven't changed my opinion on the issue, btw - that Llane is a long way off being ready for senior footy. Well, the good news is the Spaanderman today produced what was easily his most convincing display in Lions colours. Playing against what is...

    Suncoast Lions have a dip but dip out

    With only nine listed players in the squad, the Lions pushed reigning champs Morningside all the way but ultimately went down by 9 points 9.19 to 10.2. It's fair to say Morningside controlled the play after quarter time, and with better conversion would have had a comfortable win, however the...

    Michael Voss' hand injury

    Is a smokescreen. He's out solely due to his buggered knee. Source: M.Voss. Wouldn't put money on him being right for Freo either at this stage.
