Newcastle United. Will this far eastern take over ever eventuate.

Oh, and the Philadelphia 76ers. Talk about persecution complex for the last 20 years.

Trust the process. Things are finally looking up for us.

Liking what I'm reading on the Weagles board with regards to the Lions... like seeing opposition discussion about our club even if not 100% true.

Interesting stuff re. Rockliff. Thought he and Redden were best friends?

And Worpel...wonder how he put that across in interviews? Was he blunt like the Port player or just tank the interviews?

Looks like a lot lines up with comments on here as well, except for the draft ordering - very out of whack with the draft notes from the club's draft night which had Bailey and Starcevich 9 and 10, ahead of Allen and Brander - we were never taking Brander if he slid to us.

His draft video was interesting. Think it was his Mum who said something like, “thank god you’re not moving”.

Guess whose mum's got a Worpel.

Have I already done that gag?

Josh Kelly for the Brownlow? That was my prediction!

Dave Hughes does it better

This Brisbane staff member just happens to rate highly the players west coast have drafted.

Thought I'd share this post by Chocco. What a blast from the past.

Our draft board was made in the certain knowledge that we were taking Rayner at #1 (and I'd assume that quite often clubs who don't have pick one have boards that are somewhat more contingent than is generally assumed). So having chosen Rayner the priorities - and the desired risk profile - around who we take next, changes. Which is basically what the claim is - having decided to take Rayner, Allen sinks in the ratings. I do recall talk around here having been that our recruiters were very keen on Allen at one point.

Had we decided to take Brayshaw or LDU with pick one, then I'd imagine Allen climbs up our draft board a fair bit.

Not sure if it's been posted elsewhere, but heard on local radio this morning that Aker is in the jungle

Anyone able to name all those ex Bears in the photo? I can recognise some, but not all. Ta.

 

[luthor]

Well done to Choco for organising that.

And he's right. 6, 7 and 8 wins (87, 88 and 89) was a pretty fair effort, especially in the circumstances.

I never really liked Choco but he's gone up in my estimation

Showing my age, I know but I remember all those names.

Reynoldson, O'Keefe, Harris and Banfield were amongst my favourites back in the late 80's.

The Bears won their first two games in the (then) VFL in Season 1987.

Won convincingly against North at the MCG at night in Round 1 and then backed it up with a resounding win against the Cats at KP in Round 2.

Pity the wheels fell off after that though

Still, they were fun days.... the stunned amazement by the VFL establishment when they won those first 2 games.......the memories...............................

I notice Mick McCarthy wasn't at the reunion. He was my primary school P.E. teacher at the same time he played for the Bears.

Wonder where he's at.

A couple of years ago he was teaching at Brighton Grammer, could be still there.

Just scored myself tickets to next weeks Scorchers game at the new Optus Stadium, can't wait to check out what it looks like full with the whole light show happening

 

[bungalow_bill]

Looking forward to the return of Lyn. If they win what are the chances they make the top 4?

A question re the women's cricket - do they have different rules regarding what constitutes a six or is it the same as the men?
