I was too young to follow him when He was at the dogs( unfortunately) , but when . He went to the bears his skills was sublime especially his kicking . Him and White were one of the reasons the the brisbane lions started to ascend
I would put him on par with winmar for their skill and just timeless whenever he had the ball .
I cannot imagine how tough it was for him with the climate, diet and racism back then.
Re: How ‘Magic’ made his mark
The first time I saw him play he was still in the twos. And I knew hewould be a player. He had such a desire to chase down every opponent and to win the ball. And of course he had great skills. Wonderful player and man
Re: How ‘Magic’ made his mark
Tireless, genuinely fearless and a generous dose of silk. Was but a pup at the time but that chapter when we boasted Magic & prime Hawk on alternate wings was a thing to behold.
Love to see us offer #51 to Ugle-Hagan if he'll take it.
Re: How ‘Magic’ made his mark
Was pretty young when he was at the bulldogs, but remember him as a good, skillful footballer.
Enjoyed his interview on the podcast - can't recall hearing him interviewed before - but fair to say he doesn't lack confidence!

#51 was my Basketball number because of Magic.
Unfortunately I did not have the balls to wear that number on my Bullies jumper, given the in the 80's everyone had low-numbers. hence I went with #18 for Beasley.

After Magic left the number 51 wasn't used till Steven Koops came along.
Re: How ‘Magic’ made his mark
Maybe Jamarra could wear it?
would love to see Magic back at the club in some way

I loved that by Koops. What a fantastic gesture it was by him.
Just showed how much the Indigenous players looked up to him, which i never really appreciated until Koops did that.

Absolute gun
Injuries curtailed him with us
Both sides, and same skill set as Doug .
Lovely bloke as well and just knew he’d go well in Brisbane
