Thanks for uploading this program to RU-vid. The “Headliners” series presented by a young Jason Bennett (Bennett today works for Channel 7 in Melbourne as the main play by play commentator for VFL matches and some AFL games during footy season) during the first incarnation of Fox Footy channel on Foxtel/Austar/Optus TV. Headliners was an underrated show and I learned a lot about the early days of the Eagles from this program. Thanks 🙏 again ! 👍🏻🙂
A definite sliding doors moment. Given how many of the VFL and WAFL clubs at the time were close to bankruptcy there would have been a lot more teams lost to footy forever than just Fitzroy.
Fitzroy's senior list voted overwhelmingly to move to Brisbane in 1987, in order to keep their talented list together. So, I think that the Lions move north by 1987 & the Bears 🐨 never existed
@@insertnamehere5809That would've been a better outcome than the current Brisbane Lions. The Lions would've kept their history intact like the Swans did when they left South Melbourne for Sydney.
@@peterkehoe481 The new 1987 Brisbane Lions would have had Gary Pert, Alastair Lynch, Paul Roos, Scott McIvor, Doug Barwick & Richard Osborne plus the rights to Michael Voss, Nathan Buckley, Darryl White & Marcus Ashcroft (being from Queensland and the Northern Territory). Also, they would have been at the GABBA & they wouldn't have had Christopher Skase.
