A little bit confused, is it where from or currently live ?
or
Why are you from ? :)

[jazzadogs]

Also in the Vermont South, Blackburn area. Been in the Eastern suburbs my whole life...great to see the increase in supporters on the trains to the game, and increase in Bulldogs bumper stickers in the area!

[GVGjr]

After being born in Footscray I've lived in a lot of country areas like Castlemaine, Bendigo and Shepparton and even had a stint at Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW. Been back in Melbourne for 11 years and live in Burwood.
I think there are a lot of Eastern Suburbs Western Bulldog supporters on the forum.

There are quite a few Bulldogs supporters in the Eastern Suburbs like myself which is great to see. As you said you are right about bumper stickers. I saw a Bulldogs sticker on a car at Vermont South Shopping centre recently. Maybe I might see you at the East meets West Family Day next year.

Any Bulldogs supporters that are from or live in the Northern Suburbs.

I don't live there but my cousin lives in Brunswick. The inner northern suburbs have became popular with young professionals and are now quite affluent because of its close proximity to the CBD.

That' very exciting, congrats on owning your own home, you must be proud. And by the way Primary School teachers are some of the hardest working people I know.

I was born in Geelong but spent my early years around the corner from the Western Oval. Lived on the Surf Coast for 20 years and came to Melbourne for Uni as a mature aged student about 10 years ago and never left. Now living in Brunswick.

Great City New York. Been twice. There is so much to see and do there. It is such a vibrant city and even on the weeknights the city is busling.

[SonofScray]

Grew up in Ascot Vale/Flemington. Recently moved to East Keilor while we build a house down by the her in Sunshine. I'd love to be able to live in Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds or West Footscray where most of my family are but Sunshine was as close as I could get. Still, I love the West. It feels good.

Haven't been to London or Europe but in the future intend to go for a holiday. It is very much like New York with the hustle and bustle. It would now be even busier with the Olympic Games coming up and the excitement surrounding that.

Been up to Mount Buller but in the summertime. The first time I actually saw snow was when I was in California in the Yosemite national park. It was April so only saw patches of snow hardly any as it was all melted.

[GetDimmaBack]

Grew up in Braybrook, went to Braybrook High. Lived in WA briefly (Scarborough - still wondering why I left) and have lived in Gippsland for the last 25 years. Firstly Yarram, now in the Drouin area.

As long as the Dogs live in Footscray, I'm happy!

Gippsland I reckon we should swap the Darwin home match and play one home game in that region each year. East Gippsland was I believe our old country zone. We could swap it around one year play one Darwin home match another year one Gippsland home match.

Sophie, after spending a couple of days down Geelong way last week, you wouldn't have to travel far from Geelong to experience the snow season.:)
