Talk:Roger Merrett

Some close paraphrasing by the Herald Sun?

This article from the Herald Sun dated 23 January 2011 has some sections very similar to the content of this article.

• HS: "in two Essendon premiership teams in the mid-1980s before moving to the fledgling Brisbane Bears"
• W: "two Victorian Football League premiership sides with the Essendon Football Club in the mid-1980s before moving to the fledging Brisbane Bears"

• HS:"Merrett captained the Brisbane Bears - now the Brisbane Lions- for seven seasons. He was well known for his fierce, hard attack on the ball and his dashing moustache. He struck fear into the hearts of opposition players over a long career."
• W: " ... later captaining the new club for seven seasons. Well known for his fierce, hard attack on the ball and his dashing moustache, he struck fear into the hearts of opposition players over a long career."

• HS: "He is considered by many as the greatest Brisbane Bear in the club's short history. He used his height and kicking abilities to spearhead the club as their leading goalkicker for many seasons before Alastair Lynch proved a suitable replacement"
• W: "He is considered by many as the greatest Brisbane Bear in the club's short history ... use his height and kicking abilities to spearhead the club as their leading goalkicker for many seasons before Alastair Lynch proved a suitable replacement"
