Tokyo Bulldogs: Who will win Gold?

[SonofScray]

The Olympics are just around the corner and I think the 2021 Premiership won't be enough for such a talented group at Whitten Oval. Lets send a few to Tokyo to bring back GOLD for Footscray. You may wish to resurrect a few Scraggers, or dig into the history books to increase our chances.

First we have TEAM SPORTS. Clearly, we'll send the whole squad and win a number of these competitions. Any that you'd back us in for certain gold?

Rugby 7s
Water Polo
Soccer
Hockey
Baseball
Softball
Basketball
Handball
Volleyball


Then it is time for individuals to shine, with some of the newer, more ludicrous entries to the Olympic schedule cherry ripe for Bevo and a few of our younger blokes:


Artistic swimming
Diving
Water polo
Archery
Badminton
Boxing
Canoeing
Cycling
Equestrian
Fencing
Golf
Gymnastics
Judo
Karate
Rowing
Sailing
Shooting
Skateboarding
Rock-climbing
Surfing
Table Tennis
Tennis
Tae Kwan Do
Tennis
Triathlon
Weightlifting
Wrestling




I'm going to give you license here to specify an event within these disciplines:


Track

Field

Swimming

[Axe Man]

Danny Southern for the wrestling - once he gets his opponent in the sleeper hold it's lights out!

[SquirrelGrip]

I don't think we'll enter anyone in the diving, as Rance, Selwood and Grimes will take home the medals.

[Mantis]

Lachie Hunter and Tobias Mclean might make the final, but outside chance to medal.

[SquirrelGrip]

Surely Bevo and Roarke Smith in surfing!

Tory "Deadeye" Dickson is coming out of retirement for Archery, Shooting and tennis.

Josh Bruce goes OK on the Surfboard too.

[bornadog]

Roarke for skateboarding

[SonofScray]

I am all for Martin and English to lead the Synchronised Swimming squad.

[azabob]

Barry Hall for boxing.

[Axe Man]

Barry Hall for boxing.

Didn't Barry break the club bench press records when he came to the club? If so he can quadruple up in the weightlifting, shot put and hammer throw.

[azabob]

Daniel Cross for the marathon and Lachie Hunter is the back up.

JJ for the 400m track event

[GVGjr]

Peter Gordon for weight lifting...he carried the club for many years

[bulldogtragic]

Will Hayes, equestrian.

Noone's mentioned Scott Pendlebury and Bontempelli in Basketball. They've got basketball backgrounds you know.

[1eyedog]

Caleb Daniel platform diving.

[SquirrelGrip]

Zaine usually dominates the club table tennis.

Our Handball Team would be: Libba Jnr, Libba Snr, Jack, Bont, Lachie Hunter, Scott West, Simon Atkins, with Scott Wynd on the bench.

Dunks and Treloar - anything with doubles or synchronised.

[EasternWest]

Noone's mentioned Scott Pendlebury and Bontempelli in Basketball. They've got basketball backgrounds you know.

Since when?

They actually are basketballs. Not many people realise.

Two pages in and I'm staggered no one has put Aaron Naughton in the High Jump.
