    Luke Dahlhaus locks in cult status



    LUKE Dahlhaus says he's always been a bit different.

    It started when deciding to barrack for a footy team as a little tacker.

    "My whole family was different. Dad was Hawks, my brother was Richmond, mum was Geelong and I was Bombers," he said.

    "Everyone always asks: How did that happen? But we don't know. I was a Bombers boy, but also a little bit of Hawks. I really like Cyril Rioli; he's my favourite player. At Essendon, Alwyn Davey and Scott Lucas."

    Lucas above Lloyd and Hird?

    "Yeah, I don't know why. I remember when I was real young, I heard Lucas come out of the TV and I said, I'm going for them now."

    Dahlhaus, 18, is a fully fledged Bulldog and a cult figure after four games.

    His flowing dreadlocks, courage and ability to run has helped to rejuvenate the Bulldogs.

        There is something not quite right about dreds.
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          Conservatism and prejudice take many forms.
          Dreds are probably how we all looked pre-history.

              Is it because they are dirty and there are things living and growing in them that you probably don't want to know about?

                I've known a few people with dreads and they maintain and tend to them pretty obsessively. They keep them clean and there's definitely nothing growing in there.
                Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                  he can't ignore the roar. "It is fun. Every time I get the ball I hear the crowd - it makes you play better."
                  This is why fans must turn up to the games.

                    Goes to show you. He was overlooked by plenty of clubs. More to being a footy player than being a top ten draft pick. A lot of fight in our Dog Dahlhaus.

                      Great person for the kiddies to look up to.
                      Overlooked by clubs,
                      picked up 22nd in rookie draft,
                      something like 175cm 72kg? So not a football body people take notice of.
                      Placed on a Rookie list and busted his backside to be first elevated.
                      Got his chance.
                      Now showing the Football public what he can do.

                        How about a few guesses on how long the dreds last?
                        Most players who have wierd haircuts change by the next season.

                          If he keeps the dreds and keeps improving he'll win a Brownlow.

                              He had probably the biggest crowd of autographs hunters, certainly a cult hero.
