    Left the club, but still a Bulldogs person??

    So we?ve lost a couple of players this off season that I suspect we?ll still consider Bulldogs people even though they may suit up for multiple years with another side. I?m wanting to test the theory.

    Who are the players who have left to play with another club during your lifetime that you still consider ?Bulldogs people? and why?
    Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          Yep. Was thinking he and Monty are good examples. They actually came back though.

              Changing the rules.

              Probably anyone that didn’t really kick on after a good career with us. Maybe Cooney.

                  Templeton and Hawkins to name a few, both will always be Bulldogs, KT to the Dees when his knees were shot and hardly fired a shot, Dougie was no longer wanted by the club but wanted to continue on, suiting up with Fitzroy.

                          Roughead.

                          He's Bullgod through and through. Sure it didn't end as well as it might have, but nobody gets blinded in one eye for a week and then plays a role in a premiership the next weekend and says he belongs to anyone else. He's ours. Always will be.

                              It's going to be a big list.

                              Kelvin Templeton - Played his best football with us and what a footballer he was.
                              Leon Cameron - Great player, coached with us. I'd be happy to have him back in some capacity.
                              Keenan Reynolds - Big mistake for him to leave. Good character
                              Doug Hawkins - I'm not going to let one season at Fitzroy distract from what he achieved
                              Daniel Cross - Can't blame him.
                              Ryan Griffen - I wasn't happy with his leaving but there were a few bad weeks that contributed to it.
                              Adam Cooney - He's just starting to win me back over. Played his best football with us and won the Brownlow.
                              Josh Dunkley - He's only been gone two years and perhaps in another year or two he will be a Brisbane player in my opinion.

                              I haven't forgiven the likes of Dempsey and Brown though

                              I've left a lot off the list.

                                  For a long while post-retirement Cooney seemed to not only be Essendon, but actually quite anti-dogs. I have noticed he has softened quite a lot- maybe enough water has gone under the bridge or maybe his son getting involved in the club has helped things to heal over.

                                  Daniel Cross was the one I was going to say. His speech when he left was a tough watch from memory. Absolutely bled for the place. He has done a fair apprenticeship elsewhere- I would love to see him come back one day.

                                  The lists put forward stole most of the names I was thinking of.

                                  At the risk of derailing things a little, a few bigger names that have maybe gone (or will go) the other way-

                                  Stringer
                                  Higgins
                                  Tony McGuinness (he only played 4 more for the Crows than us)
                                  Nathan Brown
                                  Callan Ward
                                  Lipinski
                                  Bailey Smith (too soon?)

                                  In their own category-

                                  Adam Treloar will be the ultimate fence sitter post-career. I think he genuinely loves both clubs and won't play favourites.

                                      Did Keenan Reynolds leave because of money or something else?
                                      More of an In Bruges guy?

                                          Basically money. North offered him more than we wanted to so he left.

                                                          Zaine is ours. The Saints are just keeping him warm for us.

                                                          I'd like to think Magic McLean too, but I'd be curious to hear his take on the matter.

                                                          He played more games for us than his other mob but it's not our Hall of Fame he's in.
