Western Bulldogs sniff around for home ground as Ethihad isn't viable

I'm not really convinced Greystache was backing up your point by outlining what you see as an odd fit for Carlton. If anything, I think he was stating that with Mars being mundane but good enough for the Blues, Mission Foods should be good enough for us. Though, I don't really want to speak for him.

Correct jeemak, that's exactly what I was saying.

Lantern is in danger of becoming our Martin Luther King.

Remember the time Lantern saved WOOF from Collingwood supporting internet terroist hackers?

The best sponsors are ones that are loyal and pays good dollars without massive demands.

Whether it be Kenny's crap farm or BMW as long as they run a reputable business and support the club all is good IMHO.

Bang on. It's all about the bottom line.
Always notice mission foods signs over Home run fences in the states.
Have bugger all knowledge on marketing strategy, but would think Mission are a growing brand in Oz.Just imagine the carry on if we were fleecing the Tassie tax payer as a sponsor

Agreed. I couldn't care less if we were sponsored by Laxettes, as long as the dollars roll in. In fact that could be a great tag line: The Laxettes Western Bulldogs, giving the opposition the shits since 1877!

And we'll have the runs on the board.

Maye Sorbant could be a minor sponsor.

And it only took his lunch break to do it in.

Although I was more referring to the way people in America have begun to claim they know that MLK would support/oppose abortions, gun rights etc.

But I like this Lantern myth building. We need a Firstdog drawn graphic novel of his various exploits I think. 'Lantern: The Greatest Hero the World Never Knew'

Bump -

At Geelong Presidents Lunch

Western Bulldogs home at Geelong?

During his pre-match address Geelong president Colin Carter popped the question to Western Bulldogs president Peter Gordon, reminding him the Dogs had a standing offer to consider playing a couple of home games at Simonds Stadium in the future. "We would even like to see the Bulldogs playing a few games down here and I know you have been interested in that in the past. Don't lose that idea as you push forward," Carter said. The Cats make about $500,000 at every home game at Simonds and have suggested the Bulldogs could do the same if they took up the offer. Carter also re-affirmed his belief that the Cats should be given eight home games at Simonds Stadium in 2015 rather than helping the AFL fulfill its obligations at Etihad Stadium.

It would be familiar territory for many Bulldogs with its coaching staff consisting of former Cats assistant coach Brendan McCartney and players Ben Graham, Cameron Mooney, Joel Corey and Brent Prismall. The chances of the Bulldogs actually playing home games down at the Cattery are slim as the AFL have rejected previous enquiries.
