Someone shared this on Facebook and I thought it looked like something WOOF would come up with. Sign it and share it.

I signed and shared.

Either way we knew our first Grand Final appearance would be the hard road where the odds are against us and we do all the heavy lifting. It's simply the Bulldog way and will make our second flag all the more sweeter.

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

The AFEL won't even look at it until next week. The best way we can apply pressure is commit to game and buy up tickets in droves thereby giving Gordo some collateral.

But that's the problem, we won't be able to start buying the tickets until Monday week - by which time the Commission will say it's too late to shift it!

The decision has to be made NOW! The pressure has to be applied NOW by Hawks & Dogs leadership. First thing tomorrow morning, talkback needs to be flooded by Hawks & Dogs fans, whilst our respective leadership/mouth pieces need to be onto the AFL first thing tomorrow.

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

Agree Webby and I'll be calling KB tomorrow morning to vent my anger. Hopefully it's a that's my take Tuesday morning. Can someone link the petition on Big Footy in the Hawks and Bulldogs forums?

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

I don't care where we play GWS if we are good enough to beat the Hawks, and I'm sure the players and coaching staff couldn't give a toss either. However for supporters and members of the Dogs and Hawks, it is insulting to be scheduled to play at a ground with the capacity of a VFL suburban ground when there is a stadium about 200m away that can hold 80k. It's a prelim FFS, 2nd most important game of the season.

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

They can't possibly hold out and actually play the game there though. It's to stupid for words.

I could see the WWE transferring the GF to Spotless, I seriously could

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

I'm concerned that they're playing the GWS prelim at Spotless Stadium... I reckon that we or Hawthorn will surely have a number of fans locked out.

The AFL baffles me at times.... They were so gung ho about our Adelaide final last year having to be at the G rather than Etihad (at the very whiff of a handful of Crows fans potentially being locked out), yet they're prepared to have thousands of Dogs or Hawks fans locked out of a prelim in Sydney.

Playing an AFL prelim in a stadium which holds 24,000 odd is just complete stupidity... Surely it'll be ANZ Stadium. Common sense MUST prevail!

Common sense cannot prevail because it simply does not exist.

If it is common it will not be sense.
If it is sense it will not be common.

Can just see the press conference when the idea is mooted within a few years.

AFEL: our mandate is to grow the game, therefore we believe it is time to look forward and create new traditions for this great sporting organisation. The MCG, while an incredibly historic venue, does not have the eternal rights to the biggest sporting event on the calendar. The time is right to play the grand final...in western Sydney...and reward those fans who have stuck with their team during those first 100 or so games.

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

I have already pointed out that ISIS have said they are looking for lone wolf terrorist attacks on the MCG or the SCG. How easy would it be to claim Subi, Adelaide Oval, ANZ stadium-pretty much everywhere except Spotloss stadium was subject to the same threat?

They have to play the Grand Final at GWS's home ground for our safety! They are only thinking of us!

Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

I will not be watching the GF if the Giants make it. First one I'll have missed but there is no way I'm going to witness that disgracefully blessed franchise on the biggest stage

I couldn't bring myself to watch the '97 GF. I think that's the only game I have not watched because I was so cut up that it made me feel sick just thinking about football. I think we just drove the car until we found a place that had no telly. I was in a no-win situation anyway, I really, really hate North and there was no way I was going to hope for an Adelaide win. I heard a news bulletin on the radio with the scores from halfway through the second quarter and North were in control but that's all I know. Didn't know the result until Monday morning, I have never seen the game since. All I remember from that game is Adelaide won.


I have missed the occasional bulldog game out of annoyance thinking that if the players don't care or refuse to take the game seriously then I am not going to waste my time either and I will just wait until someone makes an effort or appears to look like they care.

You're thinking of 98. Saints played in 97.

That's how well I remember it.
