Following our exes...................

Re: Following our ex's...................

It's about half and half, with a few Sydney on his mum's side-don't forget him grandad won a Brownlow with South Melbourne. Some members and of his family refuse to talk to him over him leaving the Bulldogs.



His dad is still a bulldog supporter too. I didn't know his mum had passed on, that's really sad. Me and my dad have bought a shed load of paint from them over the years.

I know Ward's dad was a keen bummer supporter.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Just on this subject, Rick Olarenshaw's mother passed away a couple of days back. She remained a staunch Doggies girl right to the end. A great effort. God bless her pure soul!

That is sad news. Best wishes to the family.

From memory the Olarenshaw and West families lived in the same street (I think in Strathmore or somewhere near there) on the border of the old zones. Ricky an his family loved the Dogs but lived on the Essendon side of the street, whilst Scott and the Wests were Bomber fans but lived on the Dogs side.

Tough break all round. Ricky was a pretty good AFL player, but somehow reckon it all worked out best for us

I believe they were actually neighbours over the back fence in Keilor. The Wests were mad Essendon and the Olarenshaws mad Footscray. Great to know Scotty converted his family across to us, but the Olarenshaws stuck fat as Dogs fans. Good, strong family values and leadership.

I believe, although a Keilor resident, West travelled to play his footy at Strathmore due to some family ties to the club. Rick simply played at the local club, Keilor, who happened to wear Footscray colours. Both went to Essendon Grammar in East Keilor, I believe.

Greg. He played with Yarraville in the glory and not so glory days in the VFA. Big curly haired ruckman.

Yes I remember him. Wasn't sure what position he played him. Tough nut.

Yep. Callan gets the curly hair and cement head from him.

I've got some Yarraville footy cards somewhere, pretty sure Greg is on one of them and it lists his position as ruck.

Greg Ward played U19's for us- back in the red shorts days between 75 & 78.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Anyone seen Liam Jones in the nab cup? Is he injured??

One kick, zero handballs last game.
Zero kicks, one handball today's game.

(Caleb Daniel 17 touches in one game) If he's not injured, it's getting embarrassing that we had him on our list let alone trading him in, building him up, dropping him and getting these returns for big dollars like this.

Re: Following our ex's...................

Jones and Talia were two of the most frustrating footballers to have appeared on our list. It's such a relief that they're someone else's problem. Some players just can't work the game out.

Tutt at least had a go today, but he just hasn't got the tools to make it. Webb, Dale & Daniel have already provided more for us than Tutt did over several years.

Apart from the Footscray premiership. They will always have a special spot as Footscray premiership players at least. Thing is though Liam Jones kicked 5 that day and was instrumental in turning the momentum back our way and keeping it there in the last quarter. I think that performance maybe what motivated Carlton.

Re: Following our ex's...................

I may have missed the question. He's had two touches in 8 quarters of footy. Is he injured or shitter than anyone could've ever imagined?

Is he a confidence player whose confidence is utterly shot?

2 touches in the first 8 quarters of the season, confidence gone already?. If he's not injured, they'd be better to sack him and elevate a rookie. My 80yo grandma who can barely move is better for 2 or more touches a game, admittedly they'd be cheapies in the forward pocket on the counter attack when her defender is out of position having run off.
