Western Bulldogs Biggest Fan?

Re: Western Bulldogs Biggest Fan?

A pic of me and Dougie and his best and fairest cup, when he won it in '85

I was there too, from memory it was at 501 Receptions in Barkly Street. Doug's Mum collapsed too that night, she was just so thrilled. From memory Hawk was trailing coming into the finals, but he polled a bucketload of votes to storm home.

Yes, it was at 501 - it was good as I lived around the corner at the time - so I just stumbled home at the end of the night.

Dougie did storm home - it was a surprise to everyone.

I'm doing a photography thing at school and it ends with Westy holding the premiership cup hugging Hahn. I also put my face on Minson's body and it was strange looking

If anyone has a picture of the dogs doing pushups that would be awesome.

Dougs mum was a legend. I can remember coming home on the train from the footy and someone bagged Douggie within earshot of her. She let fly with a spray that Ron Barrassi would have been proud of. She went on without taking a breath for four or five stops. I often wonder what it must have been like for the people standing on the platform when the doors opened.

Re: Western Bulldogs Biggest Fan?

lol thought id share my stalker-ish story

Last year i went over to the Adelaide game (where we played quite average)...

Wandering around the Adelaide airport before boarding to come home, when i notice a little blonde hair fella stride in to goto the toilets...none other than AKERRRRRRR. After him came the whole team, doctors, players and all.

So i was standing in the middle while half the team wandered over to look in the bookstore (likes of Granty, Darcy, Westy, Harris) while some others went to have a feed (Griff, Cooney, Shaggy, Gia, Higgins)..

Ended up boarding the same plane as the team, and with numerous looks around it seemed i was the only doggies fan!

Sat down next to one of the officials, cant remember his name or position..but he passed me hat over to Westy who was sitting in the opposite aisle downing vb after vb In front of me was Big Will talking to Doc Zimmerman, will didnt play that game, think he was injured.

Got off the plane..ended up walking with em to the baggage claim, on the walk got my hat signed by Granty, Darcy and my hero Johnno..the only question (and a lame one) came to mind at that point was 'Hey johnno why u always smiling mate' (with a big smile on his face) 'Not smiling after tonights game'...i just laughed and kept walking.

Get to the baggage claim where they were all sitting around looking tired and restless, but of course i was annoying wasnt i..got Aker's autograph, who was sitting down with Cooney..Aker was not talkative but signed for me (as u wouldnt be after a pretty average loss). I then got big Brian Harris to sign (i believe he was standing next to Tommy Williams - who i didnt know much about so didnt ask for autograph)..I then got Murph to sign aswell..

Wanted Gilbee & Gia to sign also but both were on the phone at the time so i had enough respect to leave em alone lol

So i have my 2007 doggies hat here signed by Chris Grant, Luke Darcy, Scott West, Jason Akermanis, Robert Murphy, Brian Harris.

Not gunna be able to get that again so easily lol - Best experience for me almost ever
