Season 11[edit | edit source]

In the end of Season 10 draft Bipolarbear was recruited from the Tasmanian U18's by the Baghdad Bandits, originally touted as a top 10 pick, he slipped to pick 79 due to an ongoing navicular injury though out the majority of the championship series.

Season 11 for BPB also included a preliminary final and three hauls of 4 goals. At the end of the season, the Dragons FFC offered Bipolarbear a financially lucrative and un-matchable offer, which he took to the disappointment of the Baghdad Bandits.
