    Footscray/Western Bulldogs: Marry, F***, Kill

    MFK, Footscray/Western Bulldogs Men's Edition:

    Marry - Player you wished to stay with the club forever, but left us to a trade or early retirement
    F**k - The player that made you love going to footy
    Kill - A player that should've retired earlier, or given an extra season too many and it wasn't good for the club or their legacy


    Eg.

    Marry - Tom Boyd (early retirement)
    F**k - Doug Hawkins (in the peak of his career)
    Kill - Akermanis (his last year in 2010, or half year after being sacked)

    Marry - Kelvin Templeton

    F##k Les Bamblett

    Kill - Doug Hawkins. Seeing him wasting his time running around in a Fitzroy jumper shat on his legacy as a bulldog great. I've read articles where he said that if he had his time again he would have stayed one club player and that he feels that his time at Fitzroy diminished some of the achievements he made with Footscray. Reluctantly I agree.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    I'd become a Mormon, and marry Templeton, Granty and Bont!
    F - Steve Macpherson

    Kill - Nathan Brown. If The Hawk tarnished his legacy by finishing his career at Fitzroy then Brown smeared his legacy with a big pile of excrement.

    Yeah one was Doug Hawkins, local hero, Braybrook boy, long time darling of the terraces who people idolized and held in high regard.


    The other one was called Nathan Brown. Nathan Brown said that he openly barracked against us during our window of 2008-2010 because he said that he would have been upset seeing his ex teammates getting a cup while he missed out. I always had a bit of time for Nathan Brown-even when he left he made sure we got good compensation and he was a Bendigo boy like my dad. But when I heard him say that I dedcided that he was welcome to go and *!*!*!*! himself with the biggest stick he could fit up there.

    He's an ex Richmond player. And I despise Richmond players.

    M - Bernie Quinlan = He played his best football elsewhere and shouldn't have
    F - Brad Hardie = 1985 was a special year and Hardie was a big reason why. In reality I could name 10 players
    K - Robert Klomp = I doubt he was ever that good. He should have retired before we traded for him

    Sockeye Salmon chased him off his property once. Robbert (two 'B's) Klomp was a door to door salesman and when he appeared at Jim's front door Jim said "what the *!*!*!*! are doing at my front door?" and chased him into the street!

    Marry: Clay Smith. Well never know how good he could have been.
    *!*!*!*!: Marcus Bontempelli. In addition to his freakish ability, he's a handsome young man and I'm man enough to admit it.
    Kill: Rhian Gryphon. It still hurts, even though we've got a premiership and he doesn't.

    Whilst I agree with all of the above, I might add a few more

    Gary Dempsey - Idolised him as a kid
    Chris Grant - absolute freak his whole career
    Georgie Bisset - running around in a Collingwood jumper, why O why.

    It's interesting how Nathan Brown and Ryan Griffen are seen as a traitors by many fans but Gary Dempsey is revered.
    He was a hell of a player though and dominated games with his marking. He also played a large part in a significant rule change

    Marry - Stringer. I was absolutely shattered when he left, and especially the way he left but he had to go. I used to love his swagger but now I hate it. He used to give me a lot of joy at the footy that's why I always have a sneaky look at his stats these days.

    F##k - I've had many over the years, Hawkins, Grant, Cameron, Johnson, Griffen but I have to say the Bont trumps them all. In full flight he gives me butterflies. Naughton is saying hold my beer though.

    Kill - Griffen. He could've been a bulldog great and then requested a trade whilst currently captain. When we know what wheels he set in motion.
