    Preview Changes v Richmond

    Does anybody know what has happened with Lewis Young? I thought that he would be one of our top players by now but he has not been sighted. Out Gowers, all that he is going to do is lose a game for us. Should have been delisted 2 years ago. Porter, just does not get enough of the ball. Wasn't...

    Toast Fletcher Roberts

    Fletcher Roberts, good luck to you. He was always friendly and courteous when talking with fans. His best moment for me was in the 2016 final against GWS. The one that got us into the Grand Final. In that last hectic minute GWS were attacking and we were hanging on by a thread. Fletcher...

    The Statistics Thread

    I think that the 1997 R12 Port Adelaide game went: First Goal - Steve Kolyniuk Second Goal - Cook Third Goal - Paul Hudson. We killed them in the first quarter, the game was all over. Well, I guess it really wasn't all over. They came back to life after quarter time and beat us.

    Western Bulldogs superfan 1000 Consecutive H&A match milestone

    I met him at Subiaco once in the early 2000's. Came and sat behind me. He was a few minutes late, doesn't matter I suppose. Magnificent effort Gary. Awesome.

    What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 2

    I think that many of those who voted no for gay marriage did so on religious grounds and it upsetting the status of the family. Many of those people would have no problems with gays in other areas such a sports and politics. I am enjoying the banter on this topic.

    What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 2

    Well if that story is true (I have no reason to doubt you), then he should be off the air. Initially I didn't like Finey because of his St Kilda bias, but eventually I got to like him. From what I have listened to, sometimes he cut people off, but I thought they deserved it, they were mostly...

    well, that is a shame that Jamo has left us. He was one of our favourites. Here are some snippets from various news articles. The 25-year old Jamieson was recruited from VAFA club Old Scotch. A member of the 2016 VFL premiership team, Jamieson has become a key member of the Bulldogs push...

    Talking about Nick Jamieson our B&F winner not playing on next year. Great shame. VFL obviously doesn't pay well enough, even for the best of them.

    I just rated the Footscray players on their performance last year, the numbers after their name equate to my rating of how they played last year. Well with Jamieson, Hayes and Jordan Russell (retired) gone for next year that's 3 of the top 4 Footscray players gone, with the 4th top rated...

    I have a request to find out just how much influence Ted Whitten had on the sacking/retirement of umpire Ray Montgomery. The Age newspaper page 26, Tuesday 1 June 1965: - "BULLDOGS SEEK ACTION ON UMPIRES"; "Lift Standard". Regarding the appointment of 36-year-old former West Australian Ray...

    Review Jason McCartney's performance as list manager - A little from Column A and a little from Column B

    Is it the List Manager's role to delist dud players? If so, the List Manager has done a poor job over the last few years.

    Will Hayes has been steadily improving all year, I'd like to see him put in his best game yet, to improve his chances of getting drafted.. Webb, Lipinsky and Williams really need to impress us with a super game. Need more crash and bash from Nash. Another good showing from Gowers and he...

    Here are the teams from the VFL website. Different to what we put out. The interchange will not be like that, none of the those 5 qualify as the 23rd man. Among the followers - F Greene and D. Hamilton, that won't happen either. Hayes, Nash, Jamieson and Smith will be sharing the midfield with...

    The Footscray website tends to select a strange team each week that is different from that placed on the VFL website and is different to whom is played. For example last week Jamieson was not selected and Tweedie and Hamilton were listed as followers. Tweedie never played but Jamieson did...

    To kick it off - here are a couple of articles from The Western Bulldogs and Port Melbourne sites. Form lines: Footscray emerged victors in a hard fought clash against the Bombers in last week’s elimination final on the back of a nine goal to two run from early in third quarter to midway...

    N DeSteiger - a rookie class, for the VFL, learn something new everyday, as they say. I like the look of him. I wonder how old he is and what a full preseason would do for him. As said by SCRAY72 above - a lot is going to depend upon their motivation.

    2nds FINALS: Footscray vs Bombers Sund 2.40 @NPO

    A strong line-up. Strange that there is no Jamieson, who has been our best player for the year, although down on form a bit in the last few matches. Maybe he is injured as he took a few knocks in the last match. Nathan Mullenger-McHugh is not there, why is that? Dropped? Fergus Greene back in...

    Season 2017 v Season 2016 What went wrong?

    Are you the guy who for months had an avatar of a dog pissing on a woman's face? Why am I giving you the respect of an answer? You build a house from its foundations. This is basic logic stuff.

    Season 2017 v Season 2016 What went wrong?

    We failed this season for the same basic reason that we failed in most other seasons. Our basic focus, tenets, beliefs, ideals are all wrong. The Memorandum of Association of a club usually says why it exists, in our case this is our Constitution. Take a look at the Objects of our club in...

    These are my selections on the basis of how many votes for best and fairest they may have amassed for the year. 54 Nick Jamieson 182 cms, 25 yo. Has been our best player for the year and may take out the B&F for Footscray. Has not played well in the last couple of matches. Should get a role in...

    Looks like the rules that you have put up means that an AFL listed player can qualify if: 1. They played at least one AFL or VFL game. (20A). And; 2. If they have played one or more AFL games after 1 July they need they have played 6 VFL games. (20B) And; 3. They have played no more than 12...

    I do not know what the criteria is for a person to qualify to play finals. I thought that it might be 6 games. Is Matthew Boyd eligible to play finals as he has played 6 games? Clay Smith has played 7 games, is he qualified? Bailey Williams has played 7 games, is he qualified? Mitch Honeychurch...

    Roast This off season, significant changes need to be made

    I agree with what you have written there. Add Tristan Tweedie (a rookie) and Roarke Smith to the delistees. If you can trade Lin Jong and Fletcher Roberts, all the better. Another BF poster mentioned above that research needs to be done into injuries to players. The mitigation there-of. Would...
