      Really hope Cavarra can back up last week with a strong performance.
      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        I never thought that I'd be going back to Arden street to watch footy. The last time I saw a football match there Chops Rickman towelled up Keith Greig (who never seemed to play well against us) and kicked 7.


        I trained at the cricket nets there for a few years though. The afternoon the Carey/Archer/Stevens story broke we were getting ready to train when more and more media just kept flooding into the ground. One of the boys looks up and says "geez, I know this is the first time that we've made the finals for a few seasons but I wasn't expecting this much attention"
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Remember that game well
          Stood at the shed end and fair to say lots of bulldog fans and made for an old style English soccer style day .
          Lots of chanting and very enjoyable as we could never beat them at home

            Pretty sure I was standing down there as well.

                Congrats to Fletch. A story of sticking at it. I've been trying to thinking of anyone whose done 50+ AFL Games, 100+ Reserve Level Games & is a AFL Premiership Player across league history. I think Fletch has them all covered, this is the closest I can find:

                Fletcher Roberts: 51 AFL Games, 100 Reserve/State League Games, 1 AFL Premiership
                Matt Spangher: 56 AFL Games, 97 Reserve/State League Games, 1 AFL Premiership

                Eker Royalty (in the most favourable way).

                    Fletch has them covered. Dippa only played 99 and Tuck only 50. Merrett had huge reserves games but no premiership from memory.

                    Edit: Merrett had flags, but looks under too.

                        I’m out of town today so looking forward to Woofers updates on this game from Arden St
