    Bulldogs faithful already howling with excitement

    PETER HANLON - The Age - March 1, 2010



    ONE win away from only the seventh grand final appearance in the club's history, the Western Bulldogs have been given a staggering example of where their first big challenge of the new season lies. How do the Dogs keep a lid on it?

    A crowd of more than 10,000 swamped yesterday's family day at Whitten Oval, still giddy from Friday night's Barry Hall-inspired drubbing of Hawthorn.

    The support delighted Bulldog officials, and left them issuing an unfamiliar plea for calm.

    Funny how this article refers on a couple of occassions that our semi final will be played in Adelaide.

    Smorgon, Rose, Clayton and Eade(plus everyone else behind the scenes) need a big pat on the back. From 250 people in 97 to 12,000 in 2010 is absolutely amazing.
    The curse is dead.

    Agreed.

    My uncle took his kids down there yesterday. He said the queue for autographs at the Barkly St end went back to Geelong Road. The club were apologising profusely. As muh as the kids were disappointed to only get the one autograph, my uncle was at least happy so many turned out.

    Great to see such a turn out. Hopefully the team can ride the wave of support. Go Dogs.

    Your Uncle is very popular.

    Wasn't the only bit of media that said that. At one time SEN said we were playing at Subiaco. I wasn't sure what was going on and thought I'd miss this week. Thank God, or Bazza, that I'll now be at the Dome on Frid Nite.
