Brisbane Bears 2012/13 Off-Season Thread

[Pie 4 Life]

After a season of rebuilding, the Bears finished 15th with only one win in a disappointing display. They have a great young group of core players and with another few high draft picks they will again head to the off-season full of promise, especially in such a strong draft. They will be hoping to fully pay off Jarrad Blight's contract this year to clear up a space while several older players will be up for trade.

BRISBANE SICK OF LOWLY FINISHES

Brisbane Bears have established a position that they are sick of their lowly finishes and are preparing to become a finals side within a year. With only the one win in 2012, the Bears are aiming to win at least half their matches and secure a finals spot in 2013. The main weakness established was the lack of quality Key Position Players which was rectified with their first trade:

Jack Riewoldt, Jay Schulz, Pick 13 and Pick 34 -> Brisbane Bears
Harley Bennell and Lewis Jetta -> St Kilda Titans

They rated Harley Bennell and Lewis Jetta so highly, but with key position players so hard to come by, they nabbed Riewoldt and Schulz who will both start while Sam Day develops. Another first round pick guarantees another good potentially young player. "We're sad to see Harley and Lewis go, but considering we want to play finals, the time is now. After all, Lewis was a Pick #13 or thereabouts so we have gained his value back and more. We're now looking towards securing the services of an established ruckman and really set ourselves up." Bears coach Pie 4 Life said.
