    Funnily enough the original idea for the site was as an outlet for mine and Gary's shared passion for Harry Potter. But we couldn't think of a relevant anagram to fit with Harry Potter so we went with a Bulldogs website instead.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Re: Top of the ladder.

    This side just equaled the 96 year old club record:

    Post Round 16: Most Rounds Finished on Top - Three - 1998 and now 2021

    But this side has three more games to try to set a new record.

    We are currently scheduled to play Essendon on Friday night, but given this weekends changes, the game may be moved.

    For safety, call off the rest of the year and maybe start finals in two weeks. That would make us Minor Premiers I guess though.

    Re: Top of the ladder.

    Historic minor premiership for Dogs the last thing on Bevo's mind

    THE LURE of finishing on top of the ladder, earning a double chance and winning a first ever minor premiership for the Western Bulldogs is not playing on the mind of veteran coach Luke Beveridge.


    The Bulldogs inched closer to cementing top spot when they cruised past Adelaide by 49 points at Mars Stadium on Saturday afternoon and now remain in the box seat to finish the year with the club's first minor premiership.


    The ladder leaders face Essendon, Hawthorn and Port Adelaide in the final three weeks of the season and Beveridge knows anything can happen during the run home.


    "We are just keeping our head in the game and I don't really want to talk about that (minor premiership) because if I do, I will be quoted," Beveridge said.


    "There are three games left and it is still really tight there.


    "If we can keep fronting up with the same motivation, the same willingness to contribute and inspire each other then we will be OK and whatever happens from there will take care of itself."

    Re: Top of the ladder.

    Not too concerned with top spot, more the Melbourne final vs interstate side that comes with it. Unless Dees keep losing I guess. Anyway, we will have a really good crack at going straight into a prelim.

    Re: Top of the ladder.

    In 96 years

    We’ve never won more than 16 games in a season. We’ve never won a minor premiership.

    Nothing changes after 2021.
