I remember Brett better as a bay player that always found space. No Offence.

Maybe he had bad body odour.... (Joke Guys)

Us doggies supporters would razz heaps.

Thanks for the memories Brett. You were a pretty handy player for the Bays.

And found fame on US TV for getting a digit amputated for the love of his sport

All the best for the Future.

More than handy, but spent too many years being misused at Glenelg IMHO. The way things ended with Glenelg too was a shame, players of his ilk deserve better.

[Brodlach]

Enjoyed watching him when he played at Westies and is a good bloke. Good luck to him in the future

Congrats on a great career Mouse, one of the players that helped my son come so attached to the Bays at a young age.

Wonder which country club has stitched him up?

Let me fix that for you dutchy.

Good luck Mouse. Highlight for me was kicking the winner from the boundary against Sturt in front of 11,000 at the Bay.

Will get to watch the game from the same place he played it, the outer outer outer wing!!

Nah well done Backwell had a great career and was always frustrating to watch running around collecting possession with ease.

Loved you when you were at Carlton hated you while you played in the SANFL!

Started by a turnover by John Hinge

Good luck Mouse. J.J.Liston Trophy & Magarey Medallist. All the best.

How much did the Bays end up winning that game by?

[Bunton]

Assume a similar announcement forbid handles shortly?

Quote, "Allegedly he didn't retire, he was sacked. The North players have a compulsory camp booked for next week but he booked a Melbourne trip for him and his wife and refused to cancel it so he was sacked."

A bit rough ... a dirty weekend should always take precedence

He was taking his wife, not his girlfriend.....or anyone else's.

I heard he was going to play in Darwin on the sly...

[CUTTERMAN]

Good career, well done.
Good luck as the senior ducking coach for West Coast.

That's a skill that is taught well at the Bay!
