    Re: Your Footscray / Western Bulldogs Team Of Your Time

    My team:
    B. Hardie, Lake, Morris
    HB. Smith, Foster, Southern
    C. Hawkins, West, Cameron
    HF.Edmund, Grant , Hudson
    FF. Robbins, Beasley, Johnson

    Ruck. Wynd, Cooney, Royal

    Inter. Libertore, Murphy, Templeton, S Macpherson

    I am in love with this forward line...5 of the 6 with incredibly strong hands (4 in the wet! ), with the 6th man possibly the best kicking skills seen in the RW&B

    Em. MacGuiness, Kennedy, N. Brown, S Wallis
    I'm paying money, the girl's happy, she's got no money, I got my rocks off, how good is this...

          Couln't find a place for greats such as Purser, Bob Spargo, John Jillard, Barry Ion, Luke Darcy, Lake, Morris, Kretiuk, Gilbee, Foster, Kennedy, Bisset, Wallis, Dunstan, Croft, John Hoiles, Ray Baxter, Ian Bryant, Terry Wheeler, Abbey, Neil Cordy and a few others.

          Feel a bit guilty about having Judas in there but then again there are others such as Dempsey, Dunstan and Thorpe who went down a similar path and Quinlan, Hawkins, Templeton, Cordy, and Bisset played for other sides, and EJ threatened to.
          Surely you mean Graham!

          Abbey a great?? Do you mean Angus?

          You feel guilty about picking EJ "because he threatened to go" The greatest Bulldog of them all who was offered huge pounds/dollars at the time and rejected them all and you are crook on him for threateneing to go?

          Dear me!

              I considered Ross Abbey and Stephen Power, I thought they were both wonderful players.

                  Not sure its the best line-up in my time but it's the one I'd most like to see. The wings from half-back on just full of flair . Also not sure Atkins would get a game today but I loved his quick hands in that era.

                    Seems as though you are arguing just for the sake of it. Did I step on your toes one time?

                    I mean Ross Abbey of course, when he played well we always won. Liked him a lot.

                    My post does not say that I felt a bit guilty about picking EJ, its just your contorted interpretation.

                      Love having Grant and Foster in the same side. Both interchangeable back and forward.

                      Was a toss-up between, Boyd, Brown and Griffen on the bench.

                      Surprised to see some love for Egan and Mark Hunter. Good honest players IMO....nothing more.
                      I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                          I started going to games in the mid 70s as a young kid. It is a bit hard to rely on my understanding of footy as a young kid but Templeton and Dempsey we stand outs......Dunstan won 3 best and fairests in poor teams...Quinlan was a good player for the Bulldogs and became a great player at Fitzroy....

                          All in all if have 4 70s players, and 6 players each from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

                              It is hard to believe that you couldn't find a spot for John Schultz in your best 22.
                              Schultz was arguably our best ruckman in the past 50 years. He is only one of two League players to represent Victoria every year in his first 10 years of League football.
                              Playing in the era of EJ our finest player,both Whitten and Schultz won 5 Club best and fairest awards each.

                                I was very young when whitten and Schultz were playing and I built this team on how much the players engaged me. Your comments totally legitimate.
