Re: RIP Drew Morphett Reply #3 – August 26, 2017, 12:26:05 pm The Coodabeens had a bit of a tribute to Drew and one of the stories told involved Drew being taken to a function to celebrate a young lad's 22nd birthday. Before long, Drew had all of the young blokes involved in a two-up school!He was old school but in a good way!

He drew (pun unintended) the picture around the game, without screeching or trying to be the star of the game. VALE Drew.
