Who's the guy on the left ?.
I think that it might be Brett Stephens. not sure, however.
It is indeed Mr Brett "Mooooooooooooooose" Stephens, he of 133 games for the mighty RoyBoys.
That photo was taken in the lead up to the 1993 season as part of what was the last great hurrah of Fitzroy membership drives and corporate "sponsorship" days. The abysmal state of the ground and facilities at Brunswick was too hard to hide, even on a rainy day, so they went the Acca-Dacca route and tried to make a virtue of the working man's nature of the ground.
The talent spotters from old Fitzroy were on to something with those selections, though I'm not sure that even the most optimistic Fitzroy board member would have thought that 3 of the 4 guys they picked as marketing faces would get multiple grand finals and premierships under their belts as players and coaches.
Just not with poor old Fitzroy...
Lynch - 4 grand finals as player, 3 premierships as player
Lyon - 2 grand finals as assistant coach (Sydney), 2008 NAB Cup grand final win as senior coach, 3 grand finals as senior coach
Roos - 1 grand final as a player, 2 grand finals as a coach (for 1 premiership)
A grand total of 12 grand finals (13 if you count the NAB Cup granny that Rosscoe Pekoe went to and won) for 5 premierships amongst them as either players or coaches.
Quite a ways on from the days of collars and mullets under the creaky old wooden stairs...
