    Re: The Woofer Insight

    Location: West Footscray
    Your train line to the footy when you take the train: St Albans/Watergardens
    When you started supporting the Bulldogs: exactly (not approx) 9 months before 16 march 1964
    Favourite Current Bulldog Player(s): Rhylee West, The Bont, Bailey Dale, Bailey Smith
    Favourite Footy Ground(s): Whitten Oval, Yarraville Oval
    Favourite WO moment in your time as a supporter: 1985 v Essendon. Just after halftime Purser gets the tap to a flying Brian Royal who kicks it down Doug Hawkins's throat at CHF and then kept running for the handball receive. The Hawk handballs it back to Chocco who promptly goes BANG and kicks the goal. We beat a rampaging Essendon!
    Favourite Bulldog H&A win in your time as a supporter -us 33.15 213 v St Kilda 16.10 106 or round 19 2000 V Carlton at Optus Oval-Bob Murphy's debut and we knock over Carlton (who had won their last 14 games and were due to play an undefeated Essendon the next week, didn't we *!*!*!*! that little party up?) by less than a goal after a very dodgy umpiring decision
    Favourite Bulldog final moments: 2016 GF win and the 2016 PF win were great. Also the atmosphere leading up to the 1985 Qualifying Final v Hawthorn was brilliant. We hadn't played a final at the MCG since 1961. The crowd was going off it's head as the boys run onto the ground and the sense of excitement leading up to the game was palpable. Geez that feeling went downhill about 30 seconds into the game!

    Not current Bulldogs players that went to your school: Ijlia Grgic, Ted Whitten sr. Quite a few kids who played a few games (Terry Love, Darren Murray and a couple of others)

    Current Local Footy Club and how many flags they have won: Kingsville/Yarraville-heaps.
    Other Teams You Support: Arsenal (EPL), Chicago Bears, Australian cricket team (the Baggy Greens) Australian National Football Team (Socceroos)
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Nice reading so far. I would say my best finals moments would be the entire 2016 finals series. All those games were great.

    Favourite WO moment in your time as a supporter: That sweet, resounding final siren in the '16 prelim, as much for Libba's reaction than anything else.

    Favourite Bulldog H&A win in your time as a supporter - Impossible to overlook this one, for the moment, and confirmation the tide was turning, fast.

    Favourite Bulldog final moments: Wiping the stars from my eyes watching the Bont do as he freakin' pleased in the '16 2nd semi versus the reigning premiers. It began to feel real.

    Current Bulldog players from your school: Zero

    Not current Bulldogs players that went to your school: Shagga Corcoran, Paul Satterley, Robert Bloom!

    Most Hated Team(s) Esserdon, comfortably ahead of Melbourne, the Handbaggers and GWS.

    I’ve put an extra heading in “Where do you sit for Bulldog home games” you can add it in to your insight if you have already posted.

    This is true, right before the club drafted him and duly plonked him in a school in the outer western burbs of Melbourne.
