Surely he's just taking then home to show Miss Universe off? I know I would be. And I'd be leaving the bit about her just being a contestant out as well.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Another good wrap about this this pup: Nine B&Fs in 10 years: Dog's remarkable record
He has got the right attitude ...
"But awards are not a key motivator for me, they're just bonuses."
"As a 17-year-old, it was a step-up in physicality playing against men but it wasn't something that worried me because I'm a combative player," he said.
"My mindset is to play until the final siren."
and recognises things he need to work on
"Every player has some deficiencies and, at the minute, my kicking is something I'm really going to be working on," he said.
It always seems impossible until it's done. Nelson Mandela

i am liking this late pick by Dal all the more by the minute....
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

9 B & Fs in 10 years is a fair effort.

I wonder if it was one B& F a year or did he win a couple of completion B& Fs as well. If he's won nine out of ten seasons of footy that's a amazing level of consinstancy.

Far out, that's an outstanding record.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Callum Porter
Good to hear Callum speak today on the Bulldogs website. Noticed he has a bit of a country drawl when speaking. Liked the way he made a fleeting reference to looking forward to his debut - looks like he’s aiming high in 2018!

Very impressive interview. The lad sounds very driven and a good communicator.

If we keep drafting players with the right attitude and approach we will continue to do well. Porter comes across as someone the coaches and players would want on the team.

Absolutely, we need to address anyone who isn't measuring up.
Porter has a great attitude and if we can improve his kicking skills he will be a great addition for us.

He spoke well for a kid that has only been in the system for three month's, great attitude.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Callum Porter
Will this year be the year Porter breaks into the team?
Has he got the attributes to make it as an AFL player?
Turns 20 years old today, but I think he is in his make or break year.
