Favourite WO moment in your time as a supporter: 1985 v Essendon. Just after halftime Purser gets the tap to a flying Brian Royal who kicks it down Doug Hawkins's throat at CHF and then kept running for the handball receive. The Hawk handballs it back to Chocco who promptly goes BANG and kicks the goal. We beat a rampaging Essendon!
Favourite Bulldog H&A win in your time as a supporter -us 33.15 213 v St Kilda 16.10 106 or round 19 2000 V Carlton at Optus Oval-Bob Murphy's debut and we knock over Carlton (who had won their last 14 games and were due to play an undefeated Essendon the next week, didn't we *!*!*!*! that little party up?:cool:) by less than a goal after a very dodgy umpiring decision
Favourite Bulldog final moments: 2016 GF win and the 2016 PF win were great. Also the atmosphere leading up to the 1985 Qualifying Final v Hawthorn was brilliant. We hadn't played a final at the MCG since 1961. The crowd was going off it's head as the boys run onto the ground and the sense of excitement leading up to the game was palpable. Geez that feeling went downhill about 30 seconds into the game!

Shannon Corcoran? He’s from Adelaide , went to sacred heart

Shannon Corcoran? He’s from Adelaide , went to sacred heart

This is true, right before the club drafted him and duly plonked him in a school in the outer western burbs of Melbourne.

How near are you talking Easty?


It's funny how the concept of 'local boys' changes with each generation. Back in the 1880s it would have been just literally local boys and spreading out toward Braybrook/Sunshine/Melton/etc over the years down to now where boys (and girls) from all over the metro area are considered 'local' in terms of recruitment nowadays.

Although Geelong are doing a bloody good job of reestablishing boundarys again and getting kids like Dangerfield and Stephen and Dahlhaus to come 'home'.

My school was in the outer eastern suburbs in Wantirna South from there Hayden Crozier went to a school in Rowville which is about 10 mins away, Tom Boyd went to a school in Croydon which is about 20 minutes away and Kieran McGunniess went to another school in Wantirna closest to my school.

Where do you sit at Bulldog home games? :)

That's a simple one. I stand behind bay 31 and taunt the opposition supporters. I am an arms length away from the dunny, the food sellers and the bar. I can also see the TV monitors so I can tell exactly how long there is to go in the game.

Hey Comrade

I was in Australia in Febuary and usually spend several months of the year in Australia.
But Covid has thrown a spanner in normal life and it was chaos this year.

Hi Muzzyahoy, Leafs fan back in the day lost the interest over the last decade. I was born in Scarbrough, Ontario and my brother was born in Toronto but we both left very young and eventually ended up in Oz.
Funny thing is my son with no prompting is a big Colorado Avalanche fan and watches them regularly. I'd like to get back there one day but in truth can't see it happening. Welcome aboard. :)
