    Round one. Footscray V Collingwood. Malthouse V Hardie 35 years on.

    The Bulldogs Past Players Group are holding a Reunion Event at Marvel Stadium during Round 1 v Collingwood to celebrate the 1985 Bulldogs team that fell agonisingly short of glory.

    All your favourites will be there including B&F Winner Doug Hawkins, Coleman Medalist Simon Beasley, plus stars Royal, Hardie, Foster, Wallis, MacPherson, Kennedy, McLean, Purser, Bamblett and even Captain Groenewegen! It will be the first time Coach Mick Malthouse and Brownlow Medalist Brad Hardie have been in such an intimate room since the infamous jumper waving episode...

    What a way to inject even more excitement into the Season Opener!

    Guess what a way to fire up a supporter base for a year.

    I wish I was doing the place cards for this event.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    I was disgusted with Hardie pulling off our jumper. Especially on field or over the boundary in the public forum but what a year he had winning the brownlow.

    I get offered to go to these but I’m not a past player and just would feel awkward , was my era at the club back then.

    I was at that game and thought what an idiot doing that. I was also disappointed as I really liked Brad as a player.

    Lelly Bamblett was such an excitement machine.... Best small forward we’ve had in my time supporting the dogs.

    You rate him higher than Johhno or Monty?

    I do.

    I think Johnno almost played a tall role rather than a small forward and Lally was better than Monty.

    For pure excitement yes I do. Great defenders would fall over themselves whenever Les turned up. He made good players look like fools.

    I was sitting at a game with Jim once when Johnno took an overhead mark against three defenders in the goal square. Jim said to me "If Johnno was 6 inches taller we would be saying "who's Wayne Carey?" and he was right.

    Wish I was around during this time to witness that 85 season when we nearly won. I know the names but it was all happening a couple of years before I was born
