Had a go for the centenary. Would need to do some more research as it has flaws. Main one being when I stepped back and had a look at it it was mainly from my youth. Was away 72 - 96 so missing those from that period. Prior to WWl WWll didn't have some old info so missed a few there. The original Sunbowler wrote articles in the Herald back in the 40's which listed best players from all old B&L clubs plus usual positions. The Boss cleaned up a couple of years ago and put a lot of that sort of stuff in the garage. They are also Local locals, born and raised.
Would be interested to see any other teams.
Old Moz you are right about Blockie/Sven. He should come back on as well as stayed involved with footy , but as Sven. I know he won't agree but he is wasted at club level. He would be great as a Director and at coming 40 would be one of younger ones. We badly lack Marketing expertise at Association level.

nice work sunbowler, should have been done by the association to promote & celebrate the centenary, that would've been at least one thing if they'd done it, seems a golden opportunity to advance the game has been wasted
