Brisbane Bears 1995 jumper presentation. Collingwood’s next coach far right. Beside him, perhaps Carlton’s? Good luck, Fly. Courtesy: The Footy Club - Inside the Brisbane Bears by Ross Fitzgerald.

This document was given to my father and I by a Bears official in the team change rooms (following the loss the Melbourne) so I could get autographs. The Bears always took good care of their few Victorian supporters.
