    What would a premiership mean to you?

    Personally for me it would be fantastic and would certainly make my year. I can imagine the journey to the spiritual home the Whitten Oval the next day listening to the players and coaches speak and sharing the cup around. The night before the whole city of Bulldog fans will be in absolutely raptures.

    Confirmation of the greatness of the club is an important aspect. The entire team would become legendary and each player hailed for their individual part and seen as an integral part of the great team. The team would become like Adam Scott, the overdue champion.
    The Bulldogs premiers would also release a champion aspect in myself, a knowledge that I too am a champion, something invincible. Similarly for Footscray community and the western suburbs, new light would be cast on the region and it would be seen at its best. A Bulldogs (I still feel dirty not calling us 'Footscray', as if we all consent to betray our real identity, the club I fell in love with) premiership would also cleanse the AFL of the sullying of it's image by Carlton and Essendon, cheats greedy for success, not fair players. A Bulldogs victory would prove the fairness of the competition and rid it of being an uneven playing ground. The victory would bind families. Parents that lured children into loyalty would be seen as visionaries, true believers, faith would be fortified. Migrant communities and erstwhile non affiliates within the suburb and region would embrace the red, white and blue and a new wave of Bulldog supporters would follow.
    Peace would come to the land and to the soul.

      Not sure I could put it into words but BIDS has nailed it...after following the team for more than 50 years peace would certainly "come to the soul"

        I could die happy.
        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

          I'd consider selling the kids for a Bulldogs Premiership
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            I can't even imagine what it would be like.

                I have the feeling that non-Bulldogs people would ride it down like they always do. “You caught Essendon on a bad day”, “You got a lucky bounce of the ball”, “The comp was very light this year”, etc.

                Winning it would mean we could finally ignore those arseholes and just smile.

                    Speaking of kids. Apart from the birth of my kids I couldn't think of anything that would make me happier than a bulldog premiership.
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          Premiership easily. I wouldn't think twice.

                            Money does not alaways make you happy but a Bulldogs premiership sure would.

                            l would be blubbering mess for a looong time and be watching the Premiership DVD every weekend.

                              Tattslotto. Then I'd give the 30 mill to the club, go a long way towards a premiership.
