I don't really have a top 5 - was a bit disappointed this season, even though we did make the preliminary final.......
I have two favourite moments:
2) The NAB Cup Final win - it was nice just to smash St Kilda, and to see the snobs in front of us (who gave me a dirty look when I said "piss off" when St Diver got his first free kick) leave half way through the final quarter.
1) Cheering Johnno off the ground after the semi final win against the Swans.
1. Footage of jono and ego after pf. A poignant reminder of how cruel this game can be, both knowing the title "premiership player" will never be after their names. This may not be a "highlight" of 2010 but it is the lasting image I will take away of the year.
The genuine "good bits" for me :
2. Big bad Barry being more gentleman than brute and embracing this club.
3. The sound of the siren in the semi v Sydney. What a sweet sound!
4. Griffen's emergence to be the player we know he can be. Some of his goals were just magnificent. But his courage in games like the coll final even better.
5. Call ward in the pf. A big occasion kind of guy. Have a great pre season call. You showed then exactly how much we had missed you throughout too much of this year.
Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"
Struggling to get my head around the top 5 moments - still coming to terms with another bloody losing prelim. The single highlight for me was Grant taking a step forward which I was starting to doubt we would see. Seeing him ignite his afterburners off half forward on a few occasions keeps coming to mind. The other highlight was seeing the development of Roughead and the obvious potential he offers us. Lake cementing his place as the #1 full back in the comp. was also a highlight.
I thought I would post 5 moments that were under consideration by this sick puppy but hardly mentioned yet. Not one is an actual onfield moment but those have been amply covered by others and i'd only be writing some same same.
5. Charlie Sutton's passionate speech at the Hall of Fame event. Moving, emotionaland timeless.
4. It actually happened in November last year but qualifies due to being after last years Top5. Susan Alberti winning her court battle with Channel 9 and Sam Newman. You're a legend, Sue.
3. At her first game after the election result, Julia Gillard at the fence cheering for the Doggies all scarfed up and every national news camera om her. Finally, real national exposure on a political level. A Doggies fan in the lodge gets my nod for number 3. (please no diatribe due to party politics)
2. Again, from last year, this one is from the Inside The Kennel Christmas Show. Christian Howard commenting that he's here to stay because his parents had already rented out his room to two Swedish backpackers. Still cuts me up every time I think about it.
1. As usual, it's all about me. Appearing on The Footy Show and having Sam Newman promise to buy me some teeth and then Sam coming good on that promise. That moment will never be forgotten by myself. I will be further reminded every time I look in the mirror or eat something for the rest of my life. Bless him and his only other kidney.

Reason: Addition and typos, Sorry
1. The Headlock
2. The Flu
3. The Comeback (Semi-Final in Sydney)
4. The Rampage (Gia's elite 30+ possession games 3 weeks in a row)
5. The Miss (Gia again, vs. St. Kilda in our 3 point loss early in the season that would have sealed the game)
Top moment against us:
Rioli's Revenge -- Cyril in one of his only good games of the year being untackleable and kicking everything against us.
Haha ditto with your list DaDruid -- something erudite amidst the on-field reminiscing. The Swedish backpacker one is a doozy, and congrats about that teeth again!
