Beat The Drum, Release The Dogs

[bulldogtragic]

Everyone surely knows Triple J have/had a competition Beat The Drum where people essentially in modern terms photo bomb, or interestingly place Triple J logos around town to win a prize, but which helps raise their profile.

Many years ago, we started a thread like this saying we should replicate the concept with bulldogs stuff. Woofers did but I don't think the club did, although I did email them about but there wasn't anything formal done. But, I remember a short while later after our thread the best I saw on tv (through us or not) was a Victorian Senior Detective turning up the Coroners Court, walking through the huge media pack conspicuously holding a Western Bulldogs backpack at the right angle to make all the media filming/photographing relay this picture.

Clearly, our resident award winning cartoonist and our resident grand master of Lego are the club house leaders, but I was thinking what we could achieve by reviving the old concept we played with many moons ago to see how good and/or creative we could go at being opportunistic for the club's profile - and have some fun.

The winners also get serious bragging rights, so if you do something or see something please feel free to share.

What was that case? Was it one of the hearings into the gangland murders? I vaguely recall the broo-ha ha over it.

I don't remember the specific case, I think it might have been, but I was still in the job at the time and thought this guy is a genius plugging our club in prime time on every network. Ambush marketing at its best, surely we can equal or better it. Leaving aside ReLoads impossibly high benchmark. :)

Does singing our theme song over and over to my Kinder children count? :D

Yes!! :D

Sorry ReLoad, this is my clubhouse leader now. How many kids per year can we expect to ask their parents for a dogs membership?

Was it DS Iddles? I'm pretty sure he is a westy.

[ReLoad]

Yes!! :D

Game on - challenge accepted.

Side note: Gave the pictures/use of the dog to the club to use, LEGO has a pretty big reach with Kids, they said thanks but not interested.

Really?? I thought they'd be all over it. Well I loved it and that's all that matters! :D

The all time leader should be whoever gave Wheels from Degrassi Junior High a Footscray jumper back in the 80s. I'm not sure if it's ever been explained how a Footscray jumper ended up on a character in a Canadian TV show!

I gave my daughters Canadian boyfriend a cap and scarf and he produces movies. Maybe one day he will use them in a movie. :D

Hopefully not on a Neo-Nazi skinhead like Russell Crowe in Romper Stomper again!

the way I see my role as Principal of a Primary school is to actively encourage/convert students to the way of the Dogs. I have always set myself a goal to convert one a year to not just say they support the Doggies, but actually buy a membership. In my 24 years of education, I have converted 18 students so far to be members.

With Bonts, Dahl, Tom Boyd & Stringer - you should be getting double figure memberships this year.

I watched Degrassi one morning earlier in the week on ABC and it's quite grown up. I quite got into it. Ended up watching three episodes.
