    I wouldn't mind if he played for us.

    You know that I often say we looking to recruit good coaches or players or admins and not best friends and their personal qualities don't really enter into it. But you have to draw the line somewhere.

    If that arseclown turned up at our club I would fair dinkum spew up!

    Re: Famous Bulldog supporters

    My recollection is he maybe is from Melton, or surrounds. Think he played for Keilor.

    Edit : He was living in Melton when drafted.

    Re: Famous Bulldog supporters

    Him being from Melton (and I married a Melton girl!) explains a lot. He would have been residentially bound to us before drafting days.
