    David Porter passes away

    Just heard David passed away . A huge part of the club over the years who had a lot of health issues recently .
    A good bloke who everyone knew through game highlights in the 80s and 90s waving his flag and running the cheer squad. He was 63 RIP David I will miss the small chats we had over the years .

    RIP. Was the face of the cheer squad for so long. Recall that the day after a game in Adelaide in the late 1990s (we won) I went on a bus tour of the Barossa Valley and Dave was also on it. Great to chat all things Bulldogs!

    Oh very sad, RIP.
    I was actually in the cheer squad in the mid 80s and some of those bus trips out to Waverly with Gary? his wife and the crew were eye opening for a young fella.

    Re: David Porter passes away

    It's a huge loss to the club. I used to go to games with Dave back in the late '70s. Him and I in his old Kingswood sedan. I remember one game we won out at VFL park Dave said "hold this out of your window" it was a speaker that was attached to his car's tape player and we did laps of the car park playing the theme song.

    I was the person who talked Dave into joining the cheer squad.

    RIP old mate.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    RIP.

    Those that attended games in the 80s probably all remember him and have stories to tell.

    RIP Dave. He was a Bulldog through and through. I remember being in the cheer squad when I was a kid and he was passionate back then and we would get flogged every week. I'm so glad people like him and my mum got to see a flag before they passed. He will be sadly missed.
