'A proud moment': Bulldogs to revert to Footscray for centenary celebration

Could have had him out there directing traffic!

Funny story, on the way to an ultrasound where we found out the sex of our firstborn we saw Dougie with the stop sign directing traffic. I said to my wife "it's a sign, we're having a boy and we're gonna call him Dougie!"

I was half right...

You are naming your daughter Dougie?

Congrats by the way

I set em up, you knock em down!

This was about three years ago now, but appreciate the kind thoughts!

You'd posted that story before. It's always good.

In the pre game celebrations last night, the players attending were

Early Years
Representatives for John Schultz and Charlie Sutton, Ted Whitten Jr on behalf of EJ, Geoff Jennings, Dempsey, Templeton

80s
Beasley, Terry Wallace, Rick Kennedy, Royal, Libba Sr

90s and 2000s
Darcy, West, Croft, Cooney, Smith, Johnno

Current era
Gia, Cross, Gilbee, Boyd, Wood, Dee Berry, Ellie Blackburn, Bont

The camera also cut to Susan Alberti and David Smorgon in the crowd.

I was really surprised not to see Doug Hawkins as part of it? Did I miss him in another section, or can anyone explain why he was missing? I know Chris Grant was overseas, Scott Wynd lives interstate, Liam Picken isn't involved in the club...but Dougie was a surprise.

Hawkins “Claims” he wasn’t invited. “Cough”

Maybe he wasn't, neither was Patty Vez who is on track to be drafted mid-season.

But as someone has posted above there might have been a reason for that, and there's always something with Doug........

Doing a cashie

And telling anyone who asked that he "wasnt invited" to the 100 year celebration.
