Whose Going To The Family Day on Sunday?

Re: Whose Going To The Family Day on Sunday?

The greatest Whitten Oval crowd ever. That was simply amazing today. I walked around the ground a bit earlier on as later the crowd just kept building, sat in the EJ Whitten Stand for a bit, got the Western Bulldogs Premiers 2016 book on my way in and took a photo with our premiership cup. Best day ever for me as Western Bulldogs supporter and I know Whitten Oval very well now. Will have to check out the Bulldogs museum and Bulldog shop in the future - just way too many people today to get any chance.

Saw Tommy Boyd posted a pic of the crowd on instagram and captioned it "wow".

I hope he feels appreciated by the supporters and knows we've got his back, having absolutely copped it all year the poor bloke.

Once I saw images of the crowd lining up outside the ground, and given my 5am finish after the grand final - I decided to give it a miss - justifying it to myself that I will be at the B&F night so will celebrate again then.

However, I sat in the backyard and could hear the players being introduced and the crowd going crazy....and to me, it sounded like the biggest cheer of the players, was for Tom Boyd. An unbelievable roar of appreciation for the big fella.

The crowd must have been amazing there on Saturday also.

Our house is over the other side of mount mistake in Seddon probably 50 metres or so behind the old pub (name has escaped him) that has been converted to apartments - so we are close to the ground - but still at least a 5 minute walk.

My wife and mother in law were at home watching with the kids, and when Cordy kicked our first goal, the roar from Whitten Oval was so loud that they heard it over the television inside. So they ended up turning down the tv, opening the back door and letting the crowd noise come in, instead of the commentary.

Think the pub was the Rising Sun? Used to drink there post match before getting the bus back to Newport.

Yes, the Rising Sun! (just went blank trying to remember it yesterday!).

I saw the Rising Sun from the Whitten Oval on Sunday. Would have been great if the old pubs were still around to have had a drink with all our supporters.
