Before my time, and traded from South Melbourne

Just love to hear stories and memories and facts about Bernie Evans and what he contributed to the club.

Thanks as i value the knowledge of those who were around at the time.
 
Re: Bert mnie Evans

I think it is fair to say that Bernie was past his best when he arrived at the Blues. From memory he was suspended for our 87 GF but was remembered by Peter Dean in his speech on the dais... "Mots, Dessie and f&#$in Bernie, beautiful!"

The other memory that sticks out for me (pardon the pun) was when he performed a mock wank after kicking a goal. Classic.

Super talented rover who was originally recruited from Port Melbournewhere he played in a flag as a teenager, would've played in the 87 flag except for his suspension. We recruited him at the end of his career and his gave us three years and played well in most finals. He kicked a bag in the '86 second-semi including one he kicked in mid air that sailed through for a goal. Some may say a bit of lair, but i liked him when he was running around in the navy blue.

Re: Bert mnie Evans

kicked goal of the year nearly one year against Richmond in the wet.
From memory he ran from the back flank along the outer wing and kicked a goal maybe 5 or 6 bounces.

Sesame Street Evans ... a combination of Bert and Ernie.

He was a decent player but my memories of him are dimming as being in Qld, I could only go off the occasions where we got on FTA (only showed a couple of games a week back then, if that) and the ABC's 'The Winners'.
