Re: Our Western Bulldogs Mount Rushmore?
Scotty West. A true gun player. The record of being a 7 time B&F. 5 X All Australian. 2 X Brownlow runner up. Bulldogs Team of the Century. AFL Hall of Fame. Honoured by the club by naming the most courageous player award in his honour. 324 games, 104 goals. Given us four potential father/sons, 1 already having debuted. Knocked back serious offers from 'big clubs' and stayed loyal to the West.

Zaine Cordys knee, without it we probably wouldn't have made the GF let alone win it.

C'mon Chef, we need nominations with a bit more substance and perhaps not necessarily 2016 related

Dale Morris. Symbolic of the Bulldog spirit, bridged the gap between multiple distinct eras of our club, and was instrumental in our 2nd flag.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Sutton. Led the club to its first premiership and continued to lead and inspire the club for many years to come.
Whitten. Club Games record holder for two and a half decades. You don't get the nickname Mr Football without being one of the best.
Gordon. Saved the club, stepped away and returned to lead it to glory.
Beveridge. Inspired one of the greatest finals series' put up by any team in the league's history. And when it cane time to have his moment in the spotlight, he stepped back in favour of another club hero.

I think those 4 pick themselves, along with Chris Grant. And probably Dougie.

Re: Our Western Bulldogs Mount Rushmore?
Loudly with the Chris Grant nomination just everything you want in a player and ambassador for our great club.my nomination would be David Smorgan I agree with all that has been said about Peter Gordon bur the tireless work of David should not go in-noted.
My second nomination is Sue Alberti for her work to get the women's teams up and running and her charity work.
bulldogs are forever not just when they are winning
