Stumbled across this story from the ABC reporter Margaret Burin, detailing a day at the footy for Bulldogs supporters Chris and Kim. A nice reminder of why the game is so important for the real supporters and the affect it can have on people's lives.

A day at the footy with the Sons of the West
A day at the footy is one of the best parts of independent living for best buddies Chris and Kim – two of the Western Bulldogs' most die-hard fans.

Fantastic story. Thanks for posting.
Ian Collins also read it, and I'm told he's emailed the security contractor at Etihad to find out why these two have been allowed to bring their own pies into the stadium week after week.
