Some Horrible Brisbane Bears/Lions v Saints Statistics

[Newman]

In all the games we've played against Brisbane Lions (Bears) in QUEENSLAND since 1987 - we've only won 3 times. That also includes practice games and finals (unless I've missed a win somewhere). The wins were: 1987 V Bears at Carrara (28 points), 1990 v Bears at Gabba (Best win - 77 points with a bagful fro Tony Lockett) - and then we Qld fans had to wait until 2006 for our next win (51 pts) against a very depleted Lions outfit.

Would you believe - our 8 goal 3 behinds quarter TODAY was our SECOND best scoring quarter (including wins). Best q came in 1990 with 8.6 in 2nd quarter.

THANK GOODNESS - I saw Saints wallop Brisbane by 100+ plus in Melb a few years back. That was very very sweet. If only we could see the same thing happen at the Gabba with a goaless Brown and Brayshaw!

As Ross said.....8 goals when the Brions had turned off..tells us little...

We shifted to the GC in 1991, that year we won twice against the bears at Carrara, one was a practice match.

Brayshaw always turns it on for us doesn't he? Time he bloody retired surely!

You're right St Bev - forgot that practice game.

I actually have some video footage of it.

Also got some footage of Spider Everitt and boys at a SEQ supporters function in 90s. (Remember Steve as Indian chappie!)

And yet despite our poor form in Qld - we still have a very decent supporter base in SE Qld.

Yes that was on their end of season trip. Very good of them really, I wouldn't imagine it happening these days.

Yes the supporters up here truely are fantastic, thats why I get cranky when people say we shouldn't get games.
