Incredibly happy for Scott - outstanding achievement. Well done Westy, you're a legend (officially).

Great career, thouroughly deserved.
Royce wasn't inducted for his coaching, that's for sure.

Love ya Westy - along with Granty, my favourite Dogs Player ever.

Well deserved !!

Re: Scott West Inducted to Australian Football Hall of Fame

Outstanding effort.

Scott West is pretty much the pioneer of the modern extraction and distribution we see midfielders employ on a weekly basis these days. He'll never get the kudos he deserves, but he changed the game with the way he went in head first, fought for the ball and accurately dished it off to those around him.

Should have a Brownlow around his neck, but alas!

A true legend just love the bloke and his story.Really do wish that he left on better terms although he doesn't seem to hold a grudge just shows the mark of the man.
Well done Westy

Yeah, it was sad to see West finish his career the way he did, but I reckon he was completely cooked and the decision was the correct one.

I don't disagree with you here just would have loved a farewell match with both him and turtle.Saying goodbye to players is a memory that doesnt go away ask any on this board about Matty Robbins and Crofty was a great day (night) that will remain with me always.

And yes, he did deserve to wear Douggy's #7.

Westy turned out to be one of my favourite Bulldogs ever. A well deserved honour.

He just got inducted into the Hall Of Fame. Recognition enough.

On the flip side of that argument, as a club we hang onto individuals too much. Best choice for the club = the right choice.

It would have been heart-breaking if he had gone to Collingwood! What an absolute champion.

Re: Scott West Inducted to Australian Football Hall of Fame

That is a great record. Speaks for itself. One of the top stars in the comp over more than 5 years. The competition for his spot in all those AA's would have been intense & his rivals included many of the other big names of the era.

Re: Scott West Inducted to Australian Football Hall of Fame

An absolute gun who conducted himself with absolute class on the night.

Scott was a super driven individual, and it is because of this drive he feels disappointed about not winning a flag, but Westy would never have been the champion he is, and was, without this drive

I have seen few players who worked as hard, were pound for pound as tough, and few players who were as consistent. Wests toughness was his constant and unflinching ability to put his head over the ball and put his body in.
