    Re: New Members

    Hi Coon Dog

    I am another new member and love having a site dedicated to all things related to the Dogs.
    Pretty confident the list has improved significantly with the off season signings and new draftees so looking forward to 2024

    Cheers

      I have a heap of old memorabilia from the period that I can share when I get a chance...
      Thanks for that. Unfortunately I don't remember your grandfather although I do remember the one sitting next to him, Johnny Quarrell and of course the great EJ next to him. Thanks for the pic.

        Got that name mixed up. Alex Gardiner. They used to call him the racehorse because of his speed.

          Hi all - fellow traveller from BigFooty. Not a prolific poster but keen to contribute here when I can. I’m optimistic about 2024 but like others think we will know early in the year if we’ve made the tactical changes to be more successful (and enjoyable to watch regardless of the result). 2023 was probably my least favourite season of football since 1996 given the talent we had and the manner in which we used it.

              Woof backwards I like it! Bizarro woof?

              Would everyone love Gardner and want to bring back Gowers?

                  There is a lot more to this forum than the training reports. Enjoy and don't be shy about contributing.

                    Hi people of WOOF,

                    I am very optimistic heading into 2024 AFLM season and looking forward to discussing how pre season is going. I already think we saw a refreshed Bevo in the club pre season media content so far - and an energised and supported Bevo is a good start.
                    I am so disappointed in the AFLW season- both for the dogs and the women?s competition in general. It feels like a slow drawn out undoing of what was a hopeful start to the competition that honoured and built on the work of women?s community based AFL sport. Hoping I can be re- energised about AFLW and where the Bulldogs are heading.

                    Welcome LoveTheDogs and our many new WOOFers. I look forward to reading your posts and those of all our newbies.

                    We share our angst and hopes about our AFLW in one of threads under ?AFL And AFLW?. Here?s hoping the club can bring in a good head coach, reduce the loss of good players and bring in some exciting ones. I enjoy the friendly community feel at our AFLW and VFL games at WO. Here?s hoping for a more enjoyable 2024 for all our teams.
                    Josie :)

                    Our day will come
                    And we'll have everything.
                    We'll share the joy
                    Just like '54 again.

                      Largely based on the training reports I have read on here and knowing that we did well with our recruiting I will be entering the 2024 season very confident that we can turn things around. Lets hope we can gain some momentum early in the season and this will help with our membership numbers.

                        I've heard many good things about the old Can Bar. I hope to hear some more from you and to know if you have any good stories from your experiences there? Welcome to the WOOF bar

                          I think one of our biggest weaknesses was depth and I think we’ve improved that. Weird to say that I’m mostly excited about coaching recruitment more so than player recruitment but I don’t think I’m alone there. Nice to see us getting some midfield depth and I’ll feel less worried about our mid-term prospects in the midfield if Smith has a better year and re-signs… all of a sudden things don’t look so barren post Bont, Treloar, Libba and Macrae.

                            Smith is going to be a very interesting watch. My gut feel is he's out the door, be very happy to be wrong.

                                Hello everyone,

                                Just popping my head I to say hello. I’ve been lurking in the shadows, behind the smoke and windows for a long time now and thought it was well overdue that I formally joined the team and contributed.
