Just reinforces what a great job Hamling and the rest of the team did that day.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Our team on Saturday night average 22 games each at our homeground? 111 games less on average than our opponents who we share it with?
How can that be right?

We have missed playing at Metricon due to the Cairns games against Gold Coast

Since we changed to the Western Bulldogs we've had a pretty decent run of finals appearances. Well, in comparison to the previous 17 or so years I followed Footscray 1980-1996. Would've been 85, 92, 94, 95 ?
As Western Bulldogs 97,98,99,00,06,08,09,10,15,16,19,20.
Edit: Added 95.

Probably best we do forget our finals appearance in 1995.

In the 90's I lived and worked in Asia and missed all the finals in 1992, saw the demons game in 94, missed 95, 97, and saw the prelim in 98. Didn't go to Brisbane in 99, or 00. Didn't go to Perth in 06 or 16 or Gabba in 20
