Western Bulldogs Iconic moments

Re: Western Bulldogs Iconic moments

1992 was one of my absolute favourite seasons and had many memorable moments. We beat St Kilda 3 times that season, and the pinnacle was our gutsy win with a heap of injuries at Moorabbin against Lockett, Loewe, Winmar in their prime and with Del Re kicking a bag. Closely followed by Chris Grant's outstanding finals performance against them in the SF as a 19yo CHF, when he also kicked a bag of 5.

Same season we kicked 11 goals in the 3rd qtr to 0 against a pretty good Fitzroy team at Princes Park. It was a brutal quarter of football.

Michael Gardiner's "welcome to the kennel" in 1997

Brilliant, that would have to be in the top 10.

Johnno kicking that goal in the last qtr in his 300th and falling straight on his back in celebration.

Dylan Addison gut running to put on a spoil from a kick out then recovering the ball and hitting up Johnson laces out directly in front.

Dylan Addison smashing the living daylights out if Brett Kirk in a battle of who was the hardest with Addison rightfully being found the hardest. Of course, he got suspended for it but had the roles been reversed we would have been talking about how Kirk was the toughest footballer ever.

Dylan Addison gasping like a landed fish before busting his gut to get to another contest.

Bonus: my friend getting the thumbs up from Stephen Tiller after he yelled out "Stevieeeee" after a final. That moment was such a highlight that I can't even remember who we just beat.

How do you unlike a post.

Re: Western Bulldogs Iconic moments

I was on a designated 'free weekend' from my boarding school in Yeppoon for that drawn game against North in 19dickety7. I was invited to stay with a school friend's family up in Sarina, near Mackay. It was too far away for it to be viable for me travel to my home in Isisford (out past Longreach) for a weekend. So I went up to Sarina on that occasion. I recall them being a very strong rugby league family, with my mate's Dad being a rugby league coach. He had a quizzical look on my face when I asked if I might be able to watch my Bulldog's play North on the TV in the pool room.

Back then in Queensland you got 1 Saturday game on TV, and it was rare the Bulldog's were featured. Even rarer at my rugby league obsessed boarding School St Brendan's that I was able to get access to a TV to even watch a game of footy.
So I was able to watch this at my mate's place, even though they all thought I was from another planet. I loved Supa, he was one of my favourites of that era.

Australian Rules Football was not seen as a socially acceptable sporting past time in those days deep into Rugby League heartland of North Qld.

The sooner we all recognise the one true God, this boy, this man, Dylan *!*!*!*!ing Addison the sooner the rapture will be upon us.

The time-stamping may be a little screwy but kick back from the 35:30 mark friends and bask in the might and the glory of The Knee Of God.

From the GWS pre-lim, Clay Smith's huge hit on Griffin, which resulted in a Bulldog Goal. So sad to think Clay's career was cut short by injury.

And one from the Western Oval vault. Simon Beasley's last-minute mark, from a magpie cross goal short pass, to deny Collingwood a win, in the dying minute.

J54 one of my most memorable moments was at a Ballarat game just after Clay announced his retirement.
He was waiting to do a lap of honour in the function room and I saw him standing there anxiously waiting for them to call him out.
I knew it was the moment, so I sidled over introduced myself, shook his hand and thanked him for 2016!
He was a bit taken a back but once we got chatting about the prelim (we never mentioned the granny) you couldn't stop him.
So glad I did that, and he was as genuine and humble as you would expect.

Re: Western Bulldogs Iconic moments

Doug breaking EJ’s record, and starting the flick pass tradition to the new games holder was a good day at the footy.

On the flip side, Ian Collins going after, and getting, Chris Grant was pretty iconic.

Re: Western Bulldogs Iconic moments

I was there too...! He was kicking to the Ponsford stand end I recall it well even though I would've been 12 or something.

Same I was right behind the goals he was kicking to. I thought we'd won.
