The Western Bulldogs will once again combine their annual Family Day with an added feature in 2016 – a match simulation between the 2016 playing group.

Bump

This Saturday

Jeez, 9.30am is awfully early for the match simulation. Should be great to watch.

#$%& Spewing.
Working all day.

Probably due to the heat, most years have been extremely hot.

[LostDoggy]

Probably due to the heat, most years have been extremely hot.

Good point. Makes sense.

[Mantis]

Has there been any discussion to the length of the game? ie. 4 x fullish qtrs?

I want to try and take the toddler down for a few autographs post game, but dad would like to see some of the game too.. Obviously wary that he will be a handful so arriving at half time would be ideal.

[ledge]

Probably just two quarters if you look at it finishes at 2 and they need to get all the family stuff on the ground and have the speeches player intros games for kids etc
Wouldn't be very long I imagine

[AndrewP6]

Was going to go, but the prospect of traipsing across town for that early start is putting me off.

[ledge]

I will be there probably in my normal spot at the top of the stairs near the opposition dugout

[always right]

Haven't been to one for several years but we are hanging out to see some footy action.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Decided I'll head down for a look. Will see if I can put together some kind of report.

[Happy Days]

I'll go, because this is how early my circumstances dictate I wake up now. I'll chuck some stuff up too.

[SonofScray]

Will be there with my 3 month old, see how long we last! She has made a few trips to Whitten Oval and seems happy enough. Can't wait to see her reaction to all the nonsense her Dad and mates get up to.

Big crowd in, great day for footy. Appears it will be a full length game.
