Gough - gotta broaden it. It’s all about our game in the country.
This is a thread for your Richard Chee Quee references, for your Adelaide Oval pre redevelopment being the greates sports stadium in the world talk, for your why the hell did Victoria play a season in shorts questions.
This thread might just end up being my echo chamber.
Glad we pulled back that second game. We tended to talk the talk a bit so to lose like that in game one and be openly mocked by the opposition would have hurt a guy like Ja who has a real chip on the shoulder mentality.
Important we continue...
Evening folks,
An older gentleman I know in passing through cricket and playing footy with his son passed onto me an old scrapbook of footy articles from what I’d say would be his time from childhood through to the 1970s. Hope these work, could be of interest to some here
What’s he worth?
Experienced player age wise with a difficult injury history and apparent attitude issues that hasn’t really through injury been able to show anything on field since a good quarter in a final about half a decade ago?
Could he be worth a punt with a late 3rd rounder, 4th rounder...
Two highly debated deals for key forwards at different ends of the spectrum. One long term deal for a certified gun in his prime who has performed, one for a kid who had junior potential but nothing else save a great performance in a grand final win.
Which was better value for their club...
Morris injures ACL

Sad this could be the end to one of his club’s most inspirational players ever and certainly one of the unsung players of the modern game.
Will always be remembered for playing the 2016 finals...
Injury finally gets the better of 2016 flag hero http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-09/premiership-bulldog-calls-it-quits
Sad way to end for a former first round pick but still a great story.
55 games in seven years, three ACL injuries. But his 2016 prelim final performance will be etched in...
So who is the well known Victorian sportsman with a colourful past and identifiable tattoos who accidentally sexted a teenage girl’s dad instead of the girl?
Reported by the Herald Sun but behind a paywall
A TOP Victorian sportsman is under police investigation over accusations that he...
Looking at the past two premiership finals campaigns
Both the Bulldogs in 2016 and Richmond in 2017 overcame a history of adversity to be the best when it counted but what was more impressive?
A. A team coming from 7th, winning four finals away from their home ground including two interstate...

What were they thinking?
Speaks volumes on the club’s culture. There’s been no improvement
Will hang them up at the end of the season.
From Frankston in the VFL to three time All Australian, triple club best and fairest, premiership player, most games off the rookie list for an AFL player, former club captain.
A great career by one of the most honest footballers to pull on the boots.
Has any club ever had such a dramatic drop off?
From a credible four finals wins in two seasons over 2014 and 2015 to 9-0 in 2016 it has been alarming. Since that ninth win of 2016 they are seven wins from 29 games and now legitimately contesting for the spoon.
I don't think too many other...
High, medium impact. McLean was clearly distressed, as anyone who cops an unexpected punch to the throat would.
Cunnington has already been fined this year for striking. Automatic one week suspension?
forgive me as a bulldogs supporter we haven't won often so perhaps I'm unsure of the etiquette.
We've had swans fans and other supporters who have had a go at the Dogs calling us disrespectful for daring to unfurl the flag in a match against our grand final opponents.
Now it was our first home...

In his time at the swans, buddy has launched Sydney to being one of the league's most respected clubs. Regularly contesting finals, even made two grand finals.
Despite two premiership losses, Sydney have record membership numbers (interestingly the Bulldogs made their own million...

In the light of St Kilda backing down from two years of talk about establishing their own standalone side in favour of remaining aligned to Sandringham

Colleagues, friends, fellow Dogs fans, post in this thread to nominate which spud in opposition colours will play above themselves for one week when matched up against us.

The Western Bulldogs stand as a major roadblock to Melbourne Victory hosting the A-League Grand Final in Melbourne on May 17.
As the highest finishers the Victory have the right to host the game but there's a fixture clash with the Bulldogs vs Fremantle.

Bit of a different sort of appointment. Rumours early were it was going to be Collingwood CFO Justin Reeves, or Kelvin Templeton.
This isn't a discussion as to the merit of the deals, but the Tom Boyd and Buddy deals are a good example.
Swans and Dogs supporters were told they'll lose players due to them wanting money the club couldn't afford to pay under the salary cap.
Swans have lost maybe Everitt because of that...
