Victoria Uni (where I work), has set up a weekly footy blog and the first post is by Rob Aughey, a physiologist who works with VU and the Bulldogs. He discusses research looking at just what the increased intensity of finals footy means in terms of the running of players. The most profound...

And the winners are: JF_Bay_22_SCG seysearles bomba4eva HollyLovesWCE SouthSwans Haggis McHaggis (Apologies for the delay, just had my second kid arrive) pm me your postal details and I'll send you out a copy of Passion Play: Love, Hope and Heartbreak at the Footy. There’s...

Cheers DR. All good bookstores should have it, but it's still getting rolled out into stores, so some places might still not have got their copies yet (especially if they put in a smaller order). The Sun bookstores in Yarraville has lots, so does Readings in Carlton (and so should the...

Thanks TCD. BF'ers (and WOOF'ers) feature a fair bit in the book, including your arch-nemesis firstdogonthemoon (who was kind enough to allow one of his cartoons to go in the book) :) The publisher and BigFooty have put together a competition for those who are interested in tales of crazy...

Hunter Publishers are celebrating the release of Passion Play: Love, Hope and Heartbreak at the Footy with a competition to find the best tales of footy fan craziness. Featuring the wit and wisdom of firstdogonthemoon and Rocco Jones among a host of others, along with stories of agony...

There are other whispers which suggest that the source of all these rumours is from people within another AFL team. Seems like there might be a campaign to destabilise us which might be more of an immediate worry, especially as it seems to be succeeding at least on this board.

Just been informed that there won't be a summer season this year due to a lack of grounds because of the doubt. The good news is that the club aims to produce a revamped comp in Spring back on the Whitten Oval.

Yep the medallions were nice and my daughter was keen to wear both today (which is hopefully another step in her seeing the light, as opposed to her mother's misguided support of the black and white). I was struggling to change direction late in the game, and they had an excellent backman who...

Thanks for the game. Unfortunately we lost the final to Bak2Bak (who had scraped in by three points against A Little Rusty in what sounded like an excellent game). We got smashed in the first half against the wind and were down by about 37 at half time, but had narrowed the gap to ten points...

I'm yet to see much pre-season training at the moment, but I've heard his pre-season training and attitude have been very impressive.

Fantastic stuff campbell - the Bulldogs Backyard is a great iniative I reckon, and it's excellent to get folks like you supporting it.

I don't think the list thing operates quite as simply as Clayton says it does. Emma Quayle's article on our drafting last year indicated that there were contingency plans in place in case things went a bit differently to how he expected. Basically it seemed that he wanted an on-baller which...

I'm in again. Thanks for organising this again OS and team.

Different team Dave I think - the Spurs played in a game before ours, but another Spurs player has put a team in which might have been the one you saw. Thanks for the game.

You might need to go forward against the Spurs then (and I think another team as well). ;)

Hi Dave, Would've been good to play in your team again but better for the club to have as many teams as possible. I wish youse all the best, except for the first round of course.

Are you going to play on Blake Betheras again :)

My former team-mates wanted to go around again, so we've entered a seperate team and we're scheduled to play you lot first up. How are you going for women players? My partner (Blake Betheras) is happy to fill in for you when our games don't clash.

Life's a struggle Ernie :D (though I don't try and claim a tax deduction for my 17 game membership)

Good. Any news on how Brennan feels about possibly coming to the dogs?

Yup, this is the nightmare I hope we never face - what would you do?

Can't remember Ray kicking short with his left, especially off a couple of steps. Much more likely to look up, veer onto his left side, run a bit and then float a fairly long kick forward that is to the advantage of no-one. Not defending his general kicking (though it is clearly not the worst in...

Fair cop Benno, that's slander. Just paying homage to one of my favourite bf threads, http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=191146

(Been waiting for someone else to do this but since no-one's stepped up to the plate...) After much thought and soul-searching I've decided to offer my support to the Blues in the lead up to this weekend's big game. It's not that I've got anything against Melbourne (well actually I've got...

Good to here this and makes sense to keep Misfud - happy for the other coaching positions to be changed (though wouldn't mind Bond staying), and be good to invest more money in player development anyway (if we can get some money to invest).

Love your work but think you could also add in Micheal West as a sweetner. Just call him West during the negotiations and hopefully they'll be so keen to get him (I think Bell is retiring) that they'll ignore the fine print.

Salopek is becoming a quality midfielder, White is generally thought to be one of their best talls, and Krakouer has been very promising. Don't know much about the others.

Grant? Liked his game against Brisbane but you'd think Addison will get a spell some stage in the next while. His hardness might be important against the Roos though, especially if Archer isn't suspended and fronts up for his 300th.

Actually I think the reason we lost to both the Swans and Blues was because they ran over the top of us, so it makes sense to bring in Harbrow (who'll run more than Robbins) and perhaps also Ray (who comes in for an unfit McMahon). I'm happy for Doogs and Minson to have to force their way in...

Thanks for letting us know the report is up topdog, but the protocol is not to post anything here from the club's website. Instead we give the link because the club gets some money from every hit to the website. Here's the link...
