Just found out some interesting news

I ran into my old high school mate on the weekend at the shops and turns out that his younger sister married the son of Brett Kenny.


He showed me pics and said he'd try to organise a meet-up for me and Brett.

  • Bert was my favourite player growing up. 
    My old man absolutely loved him and as he was involved in footy circles, I did get to meet him. 
    They say never meet your heroes and damn that is true a lot of the time but Bert was always gracious and giving of his time. 

    • I remember walking past him in Parra and he was in his sparky gear. I was maybe 9 and was in awe of the great man.

  • Where and when mate? I might just happen to be there. 

    • I'm not too sure but hopefully it'll be sometime this month.

  • Make sure to use a rubber, Bert's a stud.

  • man ParraPride ,,my absolute favourite Eels player ... nice one!.

    Should be an immortal I do rate him over Sterlo even though Peter got most of the individual awards

"Well said Carlos. I'm so over folks on this forum pissing on Gutho. He was a warrior for us and his moving on was timely.
That's not a criticism of him or us as a club."

"Highly doubt they sign Fletcher. Between Fletcher and Sanders in SG ball we had Brettle in 2024. He playing halfback with Renzo at 6. Storm signed him the following year and he guided Storm to win JF last year. Pretty sure they rather keep…"

"He's been in awesome form this year. I doubt he will keep it up, but he will be getting much bigger offers than he would have this time last year. I think he's worth $600k but he could get offers of $800k or more."

"3. Everyone.
Everyone dug in and fought hard. Even Brian Kelly had a good game and was busy. Set up a nice try for Joash.
Can we have the Parra Old boys honoured every game?"
