What, no? Go back and read what I was replying to.

Umm Trifili asked if anyone knows if the other bids left the licence fee question blank, you said no they don't leak like a sieve and blamed Cummins for that information coming out, Bukowski showed it was Vlandys that revealed that piece of information.

So yeah you did exactly what he said you did.

Has anyone opened any of the others bids? Or did they also leave the licence fee question blank as well?

The other bids don't leak like a sieve. Another mark against Cummins.


“The bid that they put in was significantly short,” V’landys said.

Pistol himself let that one out the bag.

Lol no. Vlandys said the bid fell short in a radio interview. The license fee came out in the media the following days

I'm sure people said the same with the Swans and Lions. Reality is, every expansion into dominant heartlands from both codes has failed, except for relocations.
This isn’t the Swans and Lions. Those brands were moved immediately into their new markets after their last season in their old territory, allowing for continuity in support. The Bears haven’t played first grade for over two decades, they’ve missed a whole generation of people.

So the bid fell significantly short. Fair enough. Then why not just move to the other bids before going back to a bid that fell significantly short, or were the other bids even worse?

Bears brand still strong in local community, just like Newtown Jets in their area.

Perth consortium should pay entry fee as security. If things go bad there's nothing to fall back on like a club or assets.

It’s just the facts, it’s been over two decades since they played first grade. As a result, the relocation to Perth won’t be as effective as the Swans to Sydney and Lions to Brisbane moves were. The Swans and Lions didn’t miss a whole generation of potential fans.

It’s strong amongst those associated with the Bears and the old Bears fans. Other than that, not really.
