Danny Southern

[EasternWest]

Changed his name to Daniel Middle Eastern.

I'm going to write something I nearly never do. This is a rare honour. LOL.

[LostDoggy]

that's unfair on Daniel ... It was just a cuddle ... I mean, it's not as if Sumich had a lot of blood flow to his head anyway

Yes, it was a little harsh on Daniel, because when you are used to cuddling pythons, you obviously must put a bit more pressure to compensate for the lack of limbs

[Remi Moses]

You're welcome!!

My mate also said that at that time Daniel had recently been back to Melbourne to watch the Demons V Dogs game - the one where if we'd won we would've gotten into the finals. Jeff White was awarded that dodgy free kick and kicked the goal that won them the game.

No wonder he converted to islam after that free kick. that umpire should have been shipped of to afghanistan.

Hold a grudge? Don't get me started on the 1997 Preliminary Final or Brownlow Medal!!!!

I'm still not fully reconciled to something that happened at the SCG 25 years ago. Poor old Micky McKenna!

A fellow Bulldog supporter friend of mine went to Egypt in 2005 and happened to run into Daniel Southern after his tour. My mate was wearing an old Bulldogs cap, so they got chatting. He had already changed his name to Mustaffsen (I'm guessing at the spelling). He got a photo with him, unfortunately I don't have it anymore.

Mustapha? or usually it is Muhammad?

Could be Yusuf Islam II, following in the steps of Cat Stevens?????????? Although Danny is an ex-doggie, so I'd be expecting something different!! Does he not get the ''western' part after being with the Western Bulldogs???Perhaps he can bring his lovely bride back to the inner sanctum of the Club and be a born again doggie!!

Mohammed Ali or the Cairo Strangler.

THE ULTIMATE TROUSER SNAKE

FORGET traditional pet backyard burials, former Western Bulldogs wild man Danny Southern elected to skin his pet snake 'Rhonda' and turn her into a belt.

While seldom worn, 'Rhonda' hangs proudly in Southern's closet.

The defender, known for his ferocious attack and crazy hairstyles, will line up for the All Stars in Friday night's EJ Whitten Game against Victoria.

He lost 'Rhonda' some time ago, to a "really unusual" tumour that he believes stemmed from placing his "old" mobile phone on the glass enclosure.

"It was quite tragic news," Southern told SEN Breakfast.

"I had to take her to the vet and put her down, I didn't have the nerve to do it myself but once I took her home I skinned her and made a belt so still living old 'Rhonda'.

"I don't wear it so much these days but she's hanging in the closet."

Southern played 103 games at the Bulldogs between 1994-2000.

He travelled the world after footy, living in Cairo for about a decade, before returning home and working as a full-time mentor with with Clontarf Foundation.

That beats the people who had taxidermed their dog into a mat after it died that I saw on FB the other day.

Me and my cat

My daughters boss is also playing this year, Paul Dimmatina , always good to see some ex dogs roll up.

Me and my cat




PS: not really me.

It's your cat though yeah?

[Twodogs]

Is that Peter Dutton underneath that cat? No can't be, too much hair.

I thought it might've been Ralph Carr

[Twodogs]

I can see where you are coming from. It's kinda hard to tell with the cat and everything.

Southern on Open Mike tonight.

Frank interview. Covered the Sumich incident and others.

Also reminded me of how toxic Ian Collins was for us at AFL House. Collins single handedly cited Southern for a minor incident in the last round of 1997, getting him a 1 week suspension. Southern then did his hammy training to make up for missing the first final and was unavailable for the prelim.

He would have stopped the carnage of Jarman.

So in 1997 Ian Collins cost us the flag AND the Brownlow.

SCUM.
