Big day Saturday. Two form teams, blues and Dees play, Matilda’s and France go head to head, my birthday and the 400th. I probably overshadow the first two mentioned. #Bear400

#ThrowbackThursday #leftarmheat #Bear400 #bowl

Great night for a few tins and some retweeting #bear400

First left handed boundary ump to the 400 game milestone. Get around me! #bear400

Preparations in full swing now with just a day to go. Off to Skyways soon for a bite of lunch then will head down to Willy beach to dip the legs in #Bear400

Friday morning, suns out on a glorious Melbourne winters day in the west. Better pop down to Chemist Warehouse and stock up on some Voltaren 25 for the big game #Bear400

A cheeky Coopers stubbie at lunch will lubricate the joints nicely for tomorrow #Bear400

The girls are in for a real treat tonight for their bedtime story. A 399 game recount about their dad’s umpiring. #Bear400

Looks like another MDC at the G tonight. I should know, I’ve had plenty along the journey! Adam Coote #Bear400

Just clearing the toys out of the bath in case I need to jump in tomorrow night #Bear400 Adam Coote

BIG DAY! #Bear400

🔥🆙 #Bear400

Struggled to sleep last night. And have been up since 5am jumping up and down on the bed. The big day is here! FIRE UP! #Bear400 Adam Coote

Not long to go now. Better study the form at the Valley and chuck on a quaddie before heading to marvel. Whose everyone on? #Bear400

Smoked them today. Bear back to his best! #Bear400

Thought I did enough to get the gf this year, although it was always going to be tough without doing finals. Happy to see my old mate Ian Burrows get another gf. This will make it 3 with brown hair and 7 with grey for him, champion! #Bear400

Just catching up with my old Geelong pal Scott Gullen asking for the back page write up from my 400th #bear400

Looking forward to my old mate Ian Burrows joining the 400 club with me next weekend 🍺

Another season all done. Thought I was stiff to miss out, had 16 weeks out but thought the freshen up would serve well come September. Ah well, I’ll be back next year

Silly Sunday! Ah a great time of the year. Shame I can’t keep up with the boys like I used. Home and tucked into bed now
