How did you become a doggies fan?

Re: How did you become a doggies fan?

I have been following the Doggies since I moved into the Footscray district 14 years ago. I found myself drawn to the team and promptly switched my membership. It is funny, I would not have felt remotely like doing the same thing if I had moved to Collingwood, Hawthorn or Essendon, for example. There is something about the Doggies.

Haven't lived in the Footscray area myself so mine wasn't based on geographic location but Footscray I hear and the western suburbs in general are really picking up. It is the fastest growing region in Australia.

If we can have a succession of "winning" seasons, there is the potential to really grow the supporter base.

Absolutely and then kids will have that appealing choice then of supporting us which is the aim.

There is no question about it, everyone loves a winner.

Here is my story not the best in the world

I mainly grew up in the eastern suburbs. It was a match I went to back in 2001 on a Friday night when I was 12 years old. It was us playing Melbourne at the MCG. Anyway that night we won by 5 goals and had a great win and ever since then I've been a loyal Bulldog and the only one in my family.

Luke Penny played the game of his life that night and gave David Neitz a bath.

What was the real story behind Penny leaving us?

The rumour was him and Nathan Brown didnt get along.

For me, born and bred in Perth WA, my Dad is a Victorian however so growing up we watched both the WAFL and VFL (prior to the AFL). I went for South Fremantle (Bulldogs) so this translated into the Bulldogs for the VFL. You NEVER change teams in my house, so when WCE and Freo came along I naturally developed a hatrid for them.

It's good to hear you weren't tempted.
