    2013: What to do with Gibbs?

    Gibbs is wasted in defence. More about Ratten playing him out of position rather than any lack of ability. This has been a constant frustration over the last 3 or so years. The only reason why Ratten played him down back was because he is the best kick and he wanted to sure up the defence as...

    Watts a defender: Neeld

    Have a read over part of my subsequent post. It shows that I am not one sided and offer a solution to the title of this thread...about where to play watts: "I believe that Dees are playing Watts out of position as a defender just as what Carlton has done to Gibbs. To be fair to watts he was...

    What do you want to see in 2013?

    Haha nice. Being a Queenslander I want the suns to do well. The new jersey should have more yellow to balance the red and to also differentiate the club from the predominantly red Sydney Swans guernseys.

    Watts a defender: Neeld

    I was waiting for that one. And I agree, Gibbs is wasted in defence. More about Ratten playing him out of position rather than any lack of ability. This has been a constant frustration over the last 3 or so years. The only reason why Ratten played him down back was because he is the best kick...

    What do you want to see in 2013?

    A new club song and guernsey! The current versions are just awful. The GWS Giants are the only expansion club in history of AFL to get both right. Fremantle have finally realised this and changed to their current awesome guernsey.

    Your feelings on the Giants

    Finally an expansion club with a decent theme song!! Not long until Giants become a force in AFL.

    Footscray football clubs core values and purpose

    Thanks for that. It is good to see that there are other supporters out there who believe that the history of footy clubs is invaluable and should be protected and honoured at all costs. Without it, the club is no better off then say, the Gold Coast or GWS Giants. The club and its supporters...

    The Carlton guernsey

    I agree that the new material used on the current guernsey is more of a "light" navy blue (the same colour as the navy used by Melbourne and Geelong). Bring back the old DARK navy blues!!

    Footscray football clubs core values and purpose

    Was just an idea floated...Bulldogs can't keep running from their working class roots. To pretend that somehow that the Western Bulldogs is a fashionble club is highly questionable. Instead of pretending to be someone they are not, club needs to embrace their background. Since when did being...

    Footscray football clubs core values and purpose

    As an outsider, I cannot help but read comments by many Bulldogs supporters with disbelief. The proposition that club culture and identity does not exist is to my mind is fundamentally a false one. It is this thinking by many supporters and club administrators that has led the club to be in...

    Footscray football clubs core values and purpose

    When considering the club's identity and the change to the "Western" branding you need to consider the context in which this change was made. The 1996 season saw Fitzroy lurch from one crisis to the next, crippled by mounting debt. The AFL explicitly chose to cut the 'Roys adrift as they needed...

    5 Things You Want In 2013

    Why doesn't Sydney wear the traditional South Melbourne jumper for their games in Melbourne? The Brisbane Lions have done this successfully wearing the old Fitzroy colours for Melb games...long time Roy boy supporters love it. As the grand final demonstrated, there are still many thousands of...

    Growth in VICTORIAN clubs since 1997

    I believe that the ill-conceived “Western Bulldogs” moniker introduced in 1997 must be replaced by our traditional name Footscray. The well-documented reason for such a change in 1997 was based on the logic that the “Western” branding would allow the club to increase membership and corporate...
