          CHAMPION Western Bulldogs midfielder Scott West has become the first player inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame at Tuesday night's gala function at Parliament House in Canberra.

          West, who grew up in Melbourne's northern suburbs, played 324 games for the Dogs between 1993 and 2008.

          A ball-magnet who also boasted great endurance, he won seven club best and fairest awards and was selected in the All Australian team five times.

          He was runner-up in the 2000 Brownlow Medal and was third in 1998.

          West is currently the senior coach at VFL club Werribee, which is aligned with North Melbourne.

          Five more people will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, and the function will conclude with the naming of the 25th 'Legend'.

            It might shock some Bulldogs fans – and torment their Magpie counterparts – to learn that Scott West once came within a whisker of joining Collingwood.

            Loyalty and an insatiable work ethic drove Scott West to become one of the Dogs’ favourite sons
            More of an In Bruges guy?

                Lucky he was in our zone!!!

                Hopefully being a one club player means more than GF's.

                  Hard article to read. Got to the '97 prelim bit and regurged in my mouth a little bit.

                  Good on him for staying. Didn't realise it was that close....

                            As Bulldog as they come. Champion.

                            Strange the article mentions coming 3rd in 98 Brownlow, but no mention of 2006.

                              If he had gone to Collingwood, he would have won his Charlie, glad he stayed with us.
