    Yet he barracks for Melbourne. Despite the fact he's from Werribee.

    He wrote the introduction to one of the Encyclopaedia of League Footballers and says he'd like to see one more entry:

    'Sheahan, Michael, Foots-Melb, 1967-80 250 games, 116 goals.

    So he'd have been happy to start with us but would have been out the door, probably at the first opportunity. If I'd been Bernie Lee and the other player I'd have left him at the gate in 1961. Loyalty comes at a price!
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Mike Sheahan delivered the Eulogy at Bernie Lee’s wife’s funeral in recent years. He also remains one of 5 WB Hall of Fame selectors so still retains close relations with our Club.

    Re: Bulldogs By the Numbers

    We've had some very good footballers wear the #18. Simon Beasley is the standout followed by Leon Cameron. Any dissenters? Speak up now or forever hold your peace!

    Best #19?

    Nope. Beasley kicked Huge bags of goals. Leon was good but Beazer was a force of nature.

    The Pieman is the player you'd want having a shot at goal from 40-50 metres out to save your life.

    Shaggy would be a problem at the Yarramatta nets. Just ask Heath Black.

    Nobody, but his name is Hargrave.

    I don't know why that one triggers me.

    He's one guy that I wouldn't want any trouble with. Ryan Hargrave threw a punch with balance and timing better than most.
