Re: The Woofer Insight

Favourite Current Bulldog Player(s): Rhylee West, The Bont, Bailey Dale, Bailey Smith
Favourite Footy Ground(s): Whitten Oval, Yarraville Oval
Favourite WO moment in your time as a supporter: 1985 v Essendon. Just after halftime Purser gets the tap to a flying Brian Royal who kicks it down Doug Hawkins's throat at CHF and then kept running for the handball receive. The Hawk handballs it back to Chocco who promptly goes BANG and kicks the goal. We beat a rampaging Essendon!
Favourite Bulldog H&A win in your time as a supporter -us 33.15 213 v St Kilda 16.10 106 or round 19 2000 V Carlton at Optus Oval-Bob Murphy's debut and we knock over Carlton (who had won their last 14 games and were due to play an undefeated Essendon the next week, didn't we *!*!*!*! that little party up?) by less than a goal after a very dodgy umpiring decision
Favourite Bulldog final moments: 2016 GF win and the 2016 PF win were great. Also the atmosphere leading up to the 1985 Qualifying Final v Hawthorn was brilliant. We hadn't played a final at the MCG since 1961. The crowd was going off it's head as the boys run onto the ground and the sense of excitement leading up to the game was palpable. Geez that feeling went downhill about 30 seconds into the game!
Current Bulldog players from your school: Rohan Smith
Not current Bulldogs players that went to your school: Ijlia Grgic, Ted Whitten sr. Quite a few kids who played a few games (Terry Love, Darren Murray and a couple of others)

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

This is true, right before the club drafted him and duly plonked him in a school in the outer western burbs of Melbourne.
