Played a bit of Juniors against Teddy J, don’t remember him as outstanding back then ???
EJ would watch ,keeping as far away from anyone else as he could.

But what a career he had !
highly skilled and important player for us.
Bloody tragedy his career was cut short with his peak still in front of him.

Yes - Bernie Q coming up in the new year, along with Gary Dempsey and Danny Southern in the first quarter of 2026!

I've never heard him confirm this, but according to Drew Morphett in the 90s during one of our matches, he mentioned Southern doesn't like being called Danny. He referred to him as Daniel.

Any truth to that?

It sounds weird calling him 'Daniel'.

That's correct - he was never called Danny in his youth and that was something the footy public adopted. He prefers Dan or Daniel. I will be on my best behaviour when I interview him!!
 
I have Shane O'Sullivan on next week - he was the List Manager in the 1980s, responsible for some of the following: Royal, Wallis, Foster, McLean, Hardie, Purser, Sewell, Daniels, Bahagiar, Maylin, Malthouse...! And after his stint at the Brisbane Lions, setting up their list, he returned to help his brother Gary O'Sullivan who was working at the Club and was responsible for getting the trade of Adrian Campbell to Melbourne for...wait for it...Luke Beveridge! The dominos of our history were set in motion. I look forward to interviewing Shane - does anyone have any Qs to probe?...
