I consider myself extremely lucky. Saw Argentina win three world cups with Messi and Maradonna and a Bulldogs Premiership. More to come. Go Dogs!!!Let's focus on one drought at a time. We've never won the minor premiership and we blew that opportunity by failing to win our final three matches in 2021. Close but no cigar.
As I posted earlier today, winning our remaining three matches to finish top four will be pretty cool as it breaks two droughts.
Other significant droughts in Bevo's reign in chronological order:
It's amazing to have achieved all of those yet many (including me) wanted Bevo gone. The facts are, this is an amazing time to be a WB supporter. Many of us spent 55 years supporting this amazing club without seeing a Grand Final. Then we saw two of them in five years including a premiership.
- Win an interstate final
- Win consecutive finals for the first time since 1961
- Win three consecutive finals
- First Grand Final since 1961
- Win four consecutive finals
- First premiership since 1954
- First player since 1988 to kick more than eight goals in a game
- First player since 1987 to kick 10+ goals in a game
- Win multiple matches in the same season by 100+ points
- First interstate victory by 100+ points
I honestly feel a lot of those droughts wouldn't have been broken if we signed Cameron or Ratten instead of Bevo.
