Is anyone keen to join a Bulldogs BigFooty SuperCoach league? (Apologies if there already is one, feel free to let me know & I’ll delete). If there’s enough interest here I’ll create a thread for it.
 
LOL. Our old mate and WB fan, Godwin Grech, has hit the news again. His name has been dragged zombie-like from the GFC era back into parliamentary proceedings with suggestions he was emailing juicy info to Liberal Party figures. Labor and Lib senators were trading blows in Senate Estimates, with Labor still trying to pin an insider trading rap on Dutton. Or equivalent innuendo, at least.

Here's GG's Wikipedia entry:


Suffice to say the WO redevlopment probably owes a bit to GG. There's still some debate about whether or not it was all above board. I don't know of any accusations levelled at the club itself over this. It's more about the extent of influence Grech had as an exec in Treasury and PM&C. Certainly the working class suburbs of western Melbourne were not typically the electorates that John Howard would lavish funds on. As we know, Howard was more into lavishing public funds on the middle-class, which was an astute electoral strategy.

I will be in.
 
Good Evening my old BigFooty Fam.

It's been a few wilderness years since I posted, 2021 was a great ride for its most part nearly emulating 2016 but since then, I've just chosen to watch footy holistically and any game we win is a bonus good week ahead; not sure if any of you still remember me but I do pop on here every so often to see what you're all still posting which provides great amusement.

For any of you that are in the main Dogs Facebook group which we all know for the most part is a cringefest, I just made a post plugging an existing cafe I bought mid last year and the DannyBoyd live show coming up tomorrow but thought I'd say a long overdue hello and plug it here too!

The cafe is House Blend near Flagstaff Station in the CBD where my pursuit is to encourage reusable cup adoption as an idea I had since graduating university 2017; although I hoped to post something when it had properly gone live in the near future, the start of the new season and DannyBoyd’s live show very nearby tomorrow was too good an opportunity to pass up.

If you live/work around the West Melbourne area, come around for some doggy chat and maybe it can be a home choice for coffee going ahead and invite your fellow friends who love footy in general.

In case my various posts actually get a lot of traction with any coffee lovers and ends up being a bit overwhelming as I will be operating by myself tomorrow, you can use my inhouse online ordering platform to order in advance/save me time from manually processing orders and for the foreseeable future going ahead if you come regularly, use promo code WBZELOS at checkout to get 10% off coffee or show off any Bulldogs Merch in person and I’ll apply the discount instore; going ahead I hope to make it a hub that is open before all of our Marvel Home Games for a pregame caffeine fix and footy catchup.

Would be great to finally put faces to some of you posters I've known over the journey so if you've heading to the show, would be great to have you pop by at my cafe first for some coffee!

Go Dogs!

Welcome back, I used to enjoy your posts. I’m not in Melbourne but good luck with your cafe. Hope you can make reusable cups a thing again. They were banned during Covid and don’t seem to have resurfaced much.

We usually come in from the Western Hwy into Docklands for games, but will try to check you out when in the CBD itself.

Google says your hours are only until 3pm week days. Is that likely to increase as you get established/put on more staff?

Hope it goes from strength to strength for you!

Always great to hear from you DRU!

Thanks Geoff! Generally 3pm but there are times I opt to open a bit longer here and there and change it on Google Maps so people know. I’ll definitely update it to confirm if I’m open before any of our games :)
 


Check out the Doggies sequence


Fantastic update. This is a longer version of a clip that NFSA have had on YouTube for a few years. Original clip didn't feature Essendon and Hawthorn at the start. Bomber Jack Vosti was a future Bulldog, who strapped a penny under a knee bandage later in his career to keep his knee in place, while Saint Bill Cubbins was a future Footscray captain-coach, after a decorated career at St Kilda.
 
That footage makes me think of all the young men, just like them and maybe including some of them, that went off to war.

The coach, Eason, looks like a tough, no-nonsense type. Wonder what his emotional intelligence was like ;)

Hi all, I’m looking at an interstate membership and a family ticket option. Can anyone tell me what the family ticket consists of? Is it 2 adults 2 kids or something like that? It doesn’t make it clear to me from the sign up page and I don’t want to ring up the club and ask or email as I’m reluctant to get spammed with calls and emails for the rest of the year if I don’t go ahead with it. Would appreciate anyone’s insight.

Don't worry about getting spammed. The WB membership department (as distinct from Ticketmaster/Ticketek) is very helpful and you don't have to give them any personal details until you finally sign up for a membership. I commend them to you.

1300 46 36 47

You can always unsubscribe if you find they are spamming you anyway. The club does ask what your communication preferences are.
 
No idea if it’s been mentioned here yet but rumour has it we’ll be rolling with the name Footscray vs the pies next week.
The club flagged this earlier, iirc, as part of our 100th anniversary celebrations.
