Apologies if this one has already done the rounds but I found it a great read before beddy byes and couldn't see it up anywhere else.
On you Westy for pulling the boys together. You're a star.
Past Western Bulldogs players gather to offer support
Matt Windley and Greg Davis From: Herald Sun September 10, 2010 2:30PM
AS PAST greats rallied around the club yesterday, Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade told critics to write his team off at their peril.

"I hate talking about the past, but in 1985 we got beaten by 97 points in a qualifying final, then we beat the Kangaroos the next week in a semi.

Re: Past Western Bulldogs players gather to offer support
Really great to see, it is an area in the past that we haven't been great at and I really hope continues. Congrats Westy and Co.

Re: Past Western Bulldogs players gather to offer support
They showed Westy sitting in the stands with Monty.
Why would a Melbourne coach be watching the Bulldogs play so intently
