Hang in, I'm confused. Is it ok for us to go to VFL matches if you don't go though Easty.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

The family day in February is another option as well more relaxed atmosphere to talk about the season ahead that's if I decide to go.
How did you know it was soupaman?
More of an In Bruges guy?

Easty obviously recognised the handshake,

You must look like an Eastdog, or did you have a name tag on

OK! Now you have me curious about how soupaman knew that you were Eastdog from WOOF. Do you have a name tag? Do you have a WOOF tattoo? Had soupaman asked thousands of random strangers before he got a Yes (and if that's what happened then I've got a heap more questions but they can wait until another day) did you happen to have WOOF open on one of JB's computers?
I had a similar thing happen at a Footscray match, I convinced myself a random stranger watching the game was Greystache and it was. I can't remember what it was that started me thinking he was GS.

My theory: Soupaman was out in the east like myself and it was mentioned in the WOOF community/members locations thread from years ago now so when he spotted my Bulldog cap it must have jogged his memory that it was a strong possibility it was me.

My theory is that he has seen you on a Bulldogs facebook page or something like that,

Possibly but now I've deactivated my account but still can use Facebook messenger which is good.
It was a great pick up from soupaman.

Re: WOOF meet up at the footy in 2018
I am loathe to give away my secrets on here but after reading multiple posts about how Eastdog had spotted bulldog supporters and/or their numberplates while shopping at knox jb hifi i made the educated guess that the man browsing the cds in Knox JB hifi with a bulldogs cap on would only be the great man himself.
Of course there was always the possibility that it could have been someone else who having used their powers of deduction like me had setup hoping to catch a glimpse or even be recognised by Eastdog himself, but i felt it was a risk worth taking.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Met him I think the day before the first AFL game in the pre season back at the Whitten Oval since the late 1990s.

Re: WOOF meet up at the footy in 2018
I've remembered now. Greystache had his bulldog with him and I'd heard its name before so I barged up and asked if his dog was called (ive forgotten now) whtever it's name was.
Slim Picken's was there too.

For your sake Eastdog, I hope you never have to enter into some witness protection program. Clearly you are highly recognisable and you may have to lose the Bulldogs merch just to get around.

Yep, the bulldog bling is advertising your presence Easty.
