Hi my name is Luke. Im 32 years old and have been barracking for Footscray along with my dad since I was 5. Over the years we have both been regulars at the games and members for a long time so im sure a lot of you would recognise us at the footy if I posted a photo. Im on this site cos I sense a change in the club and I think its time the club changed the name back to "Footscray". When I was a kid, football was about community, and thats what the Bulldogs lost when they changed the name. The strong clubs in the AFL (that we bulldogs strive to be) dont need to change their name eg- Collingwood - Essendon - etc.
Losing a clubs identity by change of name was always a sign of weakness, and not of strength, so I hope after Smorgan leaves, our new president will rename the club and retain our original identity! Thanks
