I hope there isn't a thread on this but I was reading in the Green Guide today that Chris Grant is going to co-host with Michael Christian a new football show on Ten (One?) called Final Siren, which will be screened on a Sunday night. Good on him. Will be interesting to see how The Great Man goes.

Is the membership office at the Whitten Oval open on Saturdays?

I watched the Cricket Show yesterday and they had Justin Cordy (ex fitness bloke at the Bulldogs). He was impressive with what he was saying and this reinforced what a loss he was. Obviously he wouldn't have been head hunted by Cricket Australia if he didn't know his stuff. Now to the...

Good little story on Dale Morris in The Australian. It is at the following address http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,17022205%255E2722,00.html

Mike Sheahan has his top 50 in this Saturday's paper, listing the best 50 players in his opinion for the year. As we know he often underestimates Westy, but I think he will have him top 10 this year. Not that his opinion really matters, let's for the fun of it say where we think he will...

I have heard that Simon Beasley's son is kicking a few goals for his team. Can anyone tell me his age, the level he is playing at etc and is he a future prospect? Jack Collins spoke about him on Grumpy Old Men but didn't elaborate on him.

Last night on Grumpy Old Men Bluey McKenna was on. He was asked the best player he played with and he said Chris Mainwaring. This is a big rap considering the quality of players he played with. He said he was the most consistent over a long period with one flat spot of about 4/5 weeks. He also...

Ben Cousins won the Herald Sun player of the year here in Melbourne. I was wondering if the Murdoch publications in Adelaide and Perth (Brisbane & Sydney for that matter) also have this award. If so do they use the same votes the Herald Sun uses or do they have their own one as they are all part...

Today Rodney Eade joined Peter Rohde by coaching the Bulldogs to 9 wins. It took one coach 45 games, the other 19.

When we traded for Robbins we gave up two draft picks. I thought that we paid a lot for him at the time. From memory we gave Geelong a second and a third round draft pick. One they used on Joel McKay who is now off their list and didn't make it. The other on James Rahilly who has played about...

Aprt from the players/ground/Bulldogs playing what is the common link between the 1954 grand final and the 1961 grand final?

Having dipped in to the priority draft pool in 2003 and 2004 last nights win ends this sequence. Those years are the only time we have had priority picks. Despite what many think many clubs have had more. I for one am glad we won't be getting them this year. It shows we are building for the...

Can someone post the team that defeated Essendon in 2000.

An easy question but a bit of trivia. Bit of fun. One club theme song does not mention the team name or nick name. Which one? (You are now singing them all in your head)

I watched the Return to Sender on Foxtel when Robery Walls interviewed Stephen Kernahan. I was hoping to see the famous rendition of Kernahan singing "Stand By Your Man" but it wasn't to be. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the song with Sticks singing it as it is a classic?

The Bulldogs list has 5 players with over 200 games and most of the others have under 100. The players we have between 100 and 200 games are Harrison, Rawlings, Eagleton and Bandy. I am not sure how many games Koops has played but in the next week or so Robbins reaches 100 games. The amazing...

There have been some big milestones over the last week or so. Turtle kicks his 500th goal. Turtle plays his 300th game. And now Finally............ Turtleman3 submits his 1000th post.

Do people think that Vic, SA, WA and Tas suffer in their cricket teams by many young cricketers choosing AFL over cricket. Time and time again you hear of a young footballer who was also a brilliant cricketer and made representative teams as juniors before being lost to football. Maybe if a...

Rocket was just on SEN. Said Griffen was most likely to play. Harris a 50/50 chance: amazing. Walsh an outside chance. Still a little way away. Eade would rather continue his development but may get a chance soon.

A bloke I know lives was saying something interesting the other day. He lives out in Narre Warren out in Melbourne's outer east. He takes his two sons to the local Auskick out there each week. He says that many of the kids participating in Auskick out there wear Bulldog jumpers and are Bulldog...

I noticed the "Our Mastermind" banner was gone and replaced by "Rodney Eade. Our Inspiration."

I noticed Jarrod Whitten is on the Jets list. He seems small and light. I am not sure if he has two years or one in the Under 18's. I will watch his progress this year with interest.

Looking at the top 50 in the hyphen paper today. i am amazed the lack of recognition Scott West is not listed in the top 50 in the AFL. Consistently best each week, tagged by opposition weekly (so they obviously rate him) 6 best and Fairests, consistently finishes in the top 10 in the Brownlow...

As Grant hasn't kicked a goal since 2002 when will he kick his next goal. I don't think he has many to go till he gets 500.

I have just read the Lindsay Gilbee article (The Age I think). Not a big rap for Rohde (Surprise, surprise) Obviously has a great relationship with Eade. Says some positive things and I don't think it is just words. i think he says what he is saying with real belief.

Hey Doggies Big Footy posters, we are approaching 100 000 posts for our board. I wonder who will be the person who does the 100 000th post. About 500 to go. Let the countdown begin.

Ther is a good article in The Australian today about Will Minson. Go to The Australian website and click on AFL. He speaks about the physicla side of his game. I will be interested in what others think of the articles content.

Hi Im turtleman 3's brother. We have the saints friday and im trying to figure out their strengths and weaknesses and how our blokes should play to them. Take the centre bounce their little blokes read of oppostion ruckman as they dont have a quality ruckman themselves.So at centre...

The players are writing on the club website about their first games. I thought I would share my first post on Big Footy with you. It was on the 11th March 2002. The thread said their was a poll on the main board asking people to vote for the club they follow. My first post therefore was, "I have...
