    Yeah not too far away from me 1eyedog. We have probably walked passed each other without knowing. I’m in Level 1 Aisle 34. Great seats where we are and the atmosphere very good. Next year will be different but hopefully in 2022 will be able to sit in our reserve seats again. Would be great to do a woof catch up at some point at the footy.

    Hey Comrade
    I teach art and design over here. I'm a TAFE-level teacher working in International schools here.
    I was in Australia in Febuary and usually spend several months of the year in Australia.
    But Covid has thrown a spanner in normal life and it was chaos this year.

    Yeah been a crazy year. Hopefully things can get back to some normalcy in 2021. Do you have an international Bulldog membership pass GD?

    Favourite WO moment in your time as a supporter: That sweet, resounding final siren in the '16 prelim, as much for Libba's reaction than anything else.

    Favourite Bulldog H&A win in your time as a supporter - Impossible to overlook this one, for the moment, and confirmation the tide was turning, fast.

    Favourite Bulldog final moments: Wiping the stars from my eyes watching the Bont do as he freakin' pleased in the '16 2nd semi versus the reigning premiers. It began to feel real.

    Other Teams You Support: New Jersey Devils, and anyone who beats Esserdon.
    I was in Williamstown on Sunday. I drove past that ground and can certainly see how cold it must get there in the winter with that Antarctic wind.

    Hi Eastie - you should get to a game one day when the wind is blowing a gale to one end. The whole quarter can be played on the same half fwd flank for the whole 2 hours. One of the most frustrating venues for the Twos!
