"Richard Champion" (born 14 April 1968 on Yorke Peninsula in Kadina, South Australia) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League (AFL) and South Australian National Football Leagues (SANFL).

Originally from SANFL club Woodville Football Club/Woodville, Champion was a high draft pick by the Brisbane Bears in 1988 VFL Draft, but did not move to Brisbane until the 1991 AFL season.

A solidly built and tough backman, Champion wore the number 1 guernsey for Brisbane and was a Bears stalwart through some of the club's darkest years, and a poster player in an era when the club had so few.

When the club moved from Carrara on the Gold Coast, Queensland/Gold Coast, growing their fanbase, Champion became a cult figure. He was endeared by Bears fans, was Best Clubman several times and became a local celebrity with his Jimmy Barnes impressions. He was a media figure for the club. He even made an appearance with John Platten to represent the Australian Football League/AFL on the television show Gladiators Australia/Gladiators.

We still have got some serious fundamental problems in the global economy and it's going to be difficult for the market to move ahead consistently without solving them.

Clearly the economic news we're getting at the moment is better than expected, part from the States but also from Europe with ZEW survey today, ... Nine days in a row is a very strong run, but the jury is still out as to whether economic recovery can become established.

For the time being I would characterize this as a savage, bear market rally.

The lack of follow-through by the ECB after the Fed rate cut was a real blow. It seems we must continue to lean on the U.S. consumer, who may well be flagging.
