Re: Home grown Doggie Shots

Yep you're right. You can tell what year it is because the players have the 'Go West' sponsorship logo that we wore in the early part of the '83 season. We had it until around round 7 or 8 when Eastcoast came on board for the rest of the year.

BTW Edmond kicked 6 in that first quarter and finished with 7 for the day. We led by ten goals at quarter time (10.4-0.4) Richmind hit the front in the last quarter but we steadied and won by a goal and a bit. It was on ANZAC day 1983 (stick that up your arse Collingwood!) in front of more than 60, 000 people.

Spewing to this didn't become a tradition for us. Two years shy of my first trip to the footy

This one is Dougie, not Stan Davidson.

Thanks for the pics

Thanks for the pics

From memory this pic was taken the same day as the other shot with Hawkins and Kennedy. Dougie has a sleeveless jumper on. Also I did write on the back of this photo years ago, but in saying that it was a little bit after the event. I think that number 9 is also on the back of the jumper.

Re: Home grown Doggie Shots

Great shots. But sadly, good luck taking photos @ AFL games these days. A couple of times I have been @ AAMI taking photos of junior games @ half time (allowed on the Oval as the "designated camera guy") but when i've pulled my camera out of my bag earlier in the day the red coats have pounced like I am just about to streak on the Oval. And it's only a 200 mm SLR, so nothing too professional looking. (The camera that is...)

Looking at that chin and what appears to be number 7 on his back, I'd put money on it being Hawkins. By memory Stan had much darker hair.....but I could be wrong:-)

How times have changed, I always got to the ground for the start of the reserves and sometimes the under 19's. But it has been 29 years since I was at a game in Melbourne and in those days no problems at all going to the footy with a telephoto lens and a SLR.

Re: Home grown Doggie Shots

Re: Home grown Doggie Shots

Looking back on this thread, I really enjoyed the memories - thanks HD

Anyone taken any shots these days that could add to it?

Re: Home grown Doggie Shots

Great photos Hotdog60. I wasn't around during those times but it's great to have a look at the Bulldogs from the early 1980s.

Billy's dad! We have 2 father/son prospects in the Australian cricket set up ATM-both fast bowlers. Billy Davdson and Glenn Coleman's son. I can't remember what Glenn's son is called. I wonder how they both ended up in Queensland? From memory Stan came from Bairsdale and Glenn came from country Victoria.

And speaking of F/S there is Zaine's old man Brian in the number 49.

Do you mean Billy Stanlake - Warren Stanlake's son? And Jackson Colemen is Glenn Coleman's boy and plays for Victoria.

That's who I meant. Well spotted, I was wondering...
