Would take that over John Denver personallyI was at that game. Long day for us Tasmanians.
And every time Queensland kicked a goal they blasted "the heat is on" over the bloody speakers at Bellerive Oval

this was the Zillmere Eagles song and Wayne Brittain (ex-Zillmere) brought it to the Bears when he was assistant under Robert Walls. Since about 5 years ago it is also the Kenmore Bears club song, brought to the club by someone else with a connection to Zillmere and the Brittain family
And, this is a better version, widely shared previously:

For those who didn't know (I didn't), here is a 2018 article on one game players from Lions.com.au. I am sure there is more to the story!
"Jason Millar, from Caloundra, played Round 1 in 1991 before a famous incident in which, driving from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, he tried to outrun police only to eventually ditch the car and attempt to jump into the Brisbane river near the start of Coronation Drive only to land on a concrete walkway below."

I remember idly browsing through the Courier Mail that year and seeing Millar and a Bears teammate (I forget who) photographed in the social pages as punters enjoying a nightclub with no mention of the fact that they played for the Bears. Except it appeared they'd given some of their Bears teammates' names to be published alongside the photo rather than their own. Might have been a cheeky joke on their part but it looked a bit odd. Not sure if Wallsy was aware of that particular wheeze

BTW, it should be emphasised that he stayed on the list after that incident. Even though it was a different time, there had to me a great deal of contrition there, not to mention talent.
But probably the best story from those days, even better than the tale of Troy Johnson, who got drafted the same year as Daniel Bradshaw and got sacked after cracking the shits, then robbing Adrian Fletcher of $200. Then got picked up by Freo a couple of years later, then robbed his teammates again. Allegedly.
Or the lads who sent pizzas to the coaches house late at night. Again allegedly.
Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a tales from the old days thread.

He actually allegedly robbed Adrian Fletcher again that second time, who had also been recruited by Freo. Perhaps it was personal.

Great addition to the board. Compliments the "Over 50's Clique" thread beautifully.

I’m not sure if that bit is true - could easily be embellishment for the sake of a good story. I did remember he gave his name when being arrested back in Perth as “Daniel Bradshaw”.

That's literally what it is in the first place - forum posts are a form of media.
Screw you and your logic.
Actually the burglary thing was Spaanderman, wasn't it? Sorry I think I'm getting hopelessly confused, apologies all, especially TJ

I remember this talk. I was excited for the same reason - the location, not the drinking.
