Why? It is our name.

Yes our organisation name not trading name

I think people should be able to call the club whatever they prefer in their own conversations.
I don't think we should be called Footscray but I quite happily call the team Footscray in conversation.
I don't mind if Malthouse calls them Footscray. I think it's said with a hint of tradition and nostalgia.

I never call the docklands stadium Etihad or whatever the f#@% they have or will change it to.
Kardinia park is still Kardinia park to me as well.

When was the last time you walked around Footscray ?

Saturday morning - bought some cheapies from Savers, browsed the African mall, bought a huge bowl of Pho for only $10.

The surrounding areas of Footscray are gentrified and it's only 10km fromt he CBD - it may well be an upmarket suburb within a decade.

Geez. Hating on Footscray, the home of your own Club you support and our own name. Regardless of the FNWB debate, that is pretty ordinary.

Footscray > anywhere else on the planet for two reasons and in no particular order.

The Whitten Oval and Olympic Donuts.

How long have they been saying this? 20 years?
The whole shopping precinct needs to be taken over by someone wealthy and new shops need to be opened.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

At least he has come out and said it and not repeated that tripe Connors was talking on Monday. GWS are going to be very ordinary for a number of years. I hope Cal enjoys losing 22 games next year.

At least he's honest about it - I wonder if Phil Davis & Tom Scully will say the same thing?

Agreed Mof, appreciated his honesty. Especially after his manager pretty much slapped us fans in the face with his patronising comments.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

I had to laugh at the statement of seeing all the talent up there,how would he know he hasnt trained or seen them play yet.
And the experienced ones coming out of clubs , how would he know who they were unless they were signed before hand.
Be interesting to know who will apparently sign after each of the finals teams bow out.

"I was completely committed to the Bulldogs all year. I'm happy with the way the AFL have put their rules in place and the way it's worked out, it's been pretty smooth, I think."

Cement head came up with these two lines all by himself I'm sure. Also, I'm sure the AFL didn't script it for him. And I just saw a couple of pigs float past my window up here on the 18th floor.

Re: Callan Ward jumps Bulldogs ship to join GWS

Maybe..maybe and I'm just spitballing here but maybe he calls us that because he's used to calling us Footscray and that's what comes out when he thinks about us. Haven't you ever known someone by a nickname they either changed or grew out of but when you talk to or about them you still find yourself calling them that.

Seen as though I have not been back to Victoria for 12 months it was then.
Although my 80 year old Mum was hit an ran over by a scooter rider,in front of the Paisley St Clinic, 2 weeks ago.
Can't have changed that much.
Was a lot better place when it had the Bowling Alley, Coles cafeteria and Bunny's.
