Ron Bayens was an extremely fit, mobile footballer who was a mainstay of Subiaco’s league teams throughout the 1970s. Between 1969 and 1981 he played a total of 184 games for the club, as well as representing Western Australia four times. Bayens, who was equally effective either as a ruckman or in a key forward position, lined up at centre half forward in the 1973 Grand Final when the Lions broke a premiership drought stretching back 49 years with a 10.12 (72) to 6.4 (40) defeat of West Perth.
