    Ive been going for the Dogs for nearly 12 years now it would be fantastic if we had the ultimate success. The celebrations would be endless because its been so long.

      This season looks to be another tough one and I hope we are much more competitive and stay in games longer. If we rebuild the right way I'm sure we can have the ultimate success but that takes lots and lots of work.

          Just posted my story in another thread so I won't repeat again here, but I can mention my families allegiances. I have converted my sis and brothers to Dogs supporters over the years. My mum is a Collingwood supporter, but after years of hearing me go on about the 'stereotypical toothless' e.t.c Magpies supporter, I reckon she's leaning, almost toppling over to the Bulldogs.

          Unfortunately, my sister's husband is a Carlton man, so my nephews have followed their dad. My brother- in - law's family are too fanatical, so I don't like my chances of conversion there. I get in my nephew's ear but it doesn't go down well at all. For the sake of familial relationships I put up with the heathens

          Oh...how could I forget. Converted my g/f from Essendon. The drugs scandal was the sealer!

            Nagoya - is that a type of really hot chilli? Sounds like you should be working in our promotion & membership department.

              Haha! Nah mate, not chilli, rather a city in Japan. I lived there for 6 years and used the username on footy websites. I'm back now, but I decided the keep the name.

                Maybe it is a really hot chilli that is native to that region? I'm going to Google.

                  Well, my search has shown that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers played in Nagoya.

                    I started supporting the Bulldogs in 2001. The story goes like this: I went to (I was 12 at the time) a match with my Uncle and Mum from memory who are both Melbourne supporters between Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs at the MCG on a Friday Night. The Bulldogs won that match by 30 points and I remember clapping and cheering when the Dogs were going to win. 11 years on and I'm a very proud supporter of the Western Bulldogs and hopefully in the not to distant future we can win our 2nd premiership.
                    Be great to here your stories and who all your family support.
                    Divided loyalty in our house come Sep 25. I'm hoping I'll have the last laugh in the end

                    Kruder also in a similar situation to me.

                      My family like myself are born and bred bulldogs. Which ended up great for me because i got 15 barcodes off them for the GF .

                        I remember that game against Melbourne. It was Friday night at the MCG. Luke Penny gave David Neitz (who was kicking lots of goals) a real bath and I got into an argument with a traffic cop.
                        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          Only Dogs supporters in our house - and one more on the way!

                            Funny enough as a young kid I had a Melbourne Demons tshirt, that didn't last long my dad influenced me into the dogs, my uncle influenced my brother in to the Tigers, funny as my uncle switched to the bombers in the 90s

                            I grew up with a lot of the Tassie crop of stars the Rawlings brothers, Richo, Ben Harrison all the Devonport
                            Remember picking on Ben Brown as a skinny teenager how things have changed
                            I work in the mines in WA guess you could say we all made it
                            Because you cant beat the boys of the BULLDOG breed!!!!!
