As I said, I do understand that (otherwise it would just be a Fitzroy Hall of Fame). However, I still think that Merrett's exclusion is ridiculous. From 1988 to 1996 he WAS Brisbane and, of the Brisbane Bears/Lions included only Voss and Matthews contributed anywhere near as much to the club. He was the first Bear included in 2002's combined HoF so why not this time? People having short memories and wanting to see a few premiership heroes rewarded, isn't sufficient reason. Sure, he might get in next time but that's not the point.
Save some legends for us Brisbane people.
Ashcroft was an underrated player btw. Was an exceptional midfielder in the 90s before Matthews rebuilt him as a back pocket.
