    Correct jeemak, that's exactly what I was saying.

    Bang on. It's all about the bottom line.
    Always notice mission foods signs over Home run fences in the states.
    Have bugger all knowledge on marketing strategy, but would think Mission are a growing brand in Oz.Just imagine the carry on if we were fleecing the Tassie tax payer as a sponsor

    Agreed. I couldn't care less if we were sponsored by Laxettes, as long as the dollars roll in. In fact that could be a great tag line: The Laxettes Western Bulldogs, giving the opposition the shits since 1877!

    Maye Sorbant could be a minor sponsor.

    And it only took his lunch break to do it in.

    Although I was more referring to the way people in America have begun to claim they know that MLK would support/oppose abortions, gun rights etc.

    But I like this Lantern myth building. We need a Firstdog drawn graphic novel of his various exploits I think. 'Lantern: The Greatest Hero the World Never Knew'

    Bump -

    At Geelong Presidents Lunch

    Western Bulldogs home at Geelong?

    During his pre-match address Geelong president Colin Carter popped the question to Western Bulldogs president Peter Gordon, reminding him the Dogs had a standing offer to consider playing a couple of home games at Simonds Stadium in the future. "We would even like to see the Bulldogs playing a few games down here and I know you have been interested in that in the past. Don't lose that idea as you push forward," Carter said. The Cats make about $500,000 at every home game at Simonds and have suggested the Bulldogs could do the same if they took up the offer. Carter also re-affirmed his belief that the Cats should be given eight home games at Simonds Stadium in 2015 rather than helping the AFL fulfill its obligations at Etihad Stadium.

    It would be familiar territory for many Bulldogs with its coaching staff consisting of former Cats assistant coach Brendan McCartney and players Ben Graham, Cameron Mooney, Joel Corey and Brent Prismall. The chances of the Bulldogs actually playing home games down at the Cattery are slim as the AFL have rejected previous enquiries.
