Inside The Kennel

[Mat Lyons]

Dear Woofers,

I am journalist and long-time Bulldog Supporter. and new to WOOF.

I am currently working with Doug Hawkins to produce interviews with our Past Players so that they may be enjoyed for generations to come, all in one place! You will find lots of vids already, with a huge dump of interviews about to drop...

Additionally, I will share videos from training and all-Bulldog related content.

Go Doggies, Mattie

[Eastdog]

Great channel Mat. Welcome to the Bulldogs WOOF community. The interviews with Doug Hawkins and Ray Walker were really good.

[jazzadogs]

Looks good mate, love Bulldogs content!

[bornadog]

Thanks Mattie, I am already a subscriber. Keep up the good work.

Also check this forum out where a WOOFER did many interviews some time ago.

Being a Doggies supporter born 1989 it’s great to get a deeper insight to the older Doggies stuff.

Out of curiosity would you like the video posted here directly (would still count as a view on YT) or are you chosing not to do so to drive people to the site directly to like, comment etc?

[BornInDroopSt'54]

The Bulldog marketting department could implant an unforgettable image in our psyche:
Tim English holding up Caleb Daniel to equal eye level,.....
...and after a pregnant pause saying "you're too tall" or almost anything will be funny or poignant.
C'mon it has to happen.

[bulldogtragic]

This forum is struggling to survive but just enough personal interest here to plug one’s own videos while not contributing to the forum. Guess it needs to be promoted elsewhere soon.

[Mat Lyons]

Bulldog Tragic, thanks for the feedback. I see you have no interest in our history, players or culture. Scroll on kind sir, as I will continue to share them with our people here, despite your odd irritation.

[jazzadogs]

Mat, you might not have seen the thread titled Woof Update but I think it would be worth a read. The response to bulldogtragic who has posted on here over 30000 times is pretty unwarranted.

Personally I don't have any issue with your links - but it would be great to see you and others engaging in more threads and conversations!

[EasternWest]

Mat do you even bulldogtragic?

[Mat Lyons]

I think you'll find I provided comprehensive coverage of training throughout summer of training and progress. My engagement here in season is to share stories of our players. If Tragic has a problem ith that, the problem is simply theirs.

[azabob]

Some self awareness would not go astray. 25 of your posts out of 39 have been on this thread alone promoting your side hustle for self gain.
You do not even take the time to format. Clearly a cut and paste exercise.

How many posters have you engaged with who take the time to reply to your posts? Or that does not interest you?

[Grantysghost]

I think you'll find I provided comprehensive coverage of training throughout summer of training and progress. My engagement here in season is to share stories of our players. If Tragic has a problem ith that, the problem is simply theirs.

Thanks for that Mat, for mine we don't see enough of it. You're a passionate dogs man as we all are so would love to hear your input in here more often.

When you rarely contribute, then clearly use the site as advertising for your own content it's not hard to see why that would irritate people who are desperately trying to keep woof vibrant, dynamic and a place for intelligent discussion.
Keep up the great work, would love to hear from you more often.
Cheers and Go Dogs.

[Mat Lyons]

I'd have thought the content would stimulate conversation and interest. If it doesn't do that for some, that is representitive of their interest level or passion. As said previously, I will continue to share interviews and report on pre-season training. If that irritates some, well scroll on or find a different hobby!

[GVGjr]

Guys, can I respectfully ask you all to step back from any criticism of Mat who has reached out to me to try I see how he might best support the site via his podcasts.
Once things become a bit clearer of WOOFs future we might be in a better position to support each other.
Let's try to keep the discussions focused more on the players being interviewed
Thanks Gary

[bulldogtragic]

Bulldog Tragic, thanks for the feedback. I see you have no interest in our history, players or culture. Scroll on kind sir, as I will continue to share them with our people here, despite your odd irritation.

Meh. I’d respond, but I don’t care for you as a forum ‘member’.

[Grantysghost]

Meh. I’d respond, but I don’t care for you as a forum ‘member’.

I don't want to inflame things further however just wanted to say : BT you're one of the greats and I thought Mat's comments were off the mark completely.

You're woof royalty, Mat just needs to read some of your work and I'm sure he will realise his mistake :)

[Mat Lyons]

Tragic, I'd suggest avoiding this stream from here on then, as there will be lots more free content from Dougie Hawkins and I discussing all things Bulldogs. No need to pop over to this topic if you have no interest. Best wishes to you.

Absolutely brilliant interview Mat. Shows what a great and humble character Luke is and what an incredible Bulldog family. I remember watching Dave Darcy at full back in games at Whitten Oval. He was almost never beaten in a contest, especially a marking contest, and then regularly streamed out of the backline and connected with precision kicking. Didn't know the story of his move to Adelaide until watching this.

I also want to compliment you on the way you interview generally. A journo. who doesn't go for the gotcha moment and allows the subject the space to expand their perspective is a rarity. At the same time you manage to raise touchy subjects in a very positive way.

Congratulations on the Channel. It is a great resource for all the WOOFers who love our club. I am a sub. and glad to see the numbers rising.

Keep em coming Mat.

Thanks for that Mat , you whipped that up quick , sometimes Doug gives us something out of the box we can think about.
I noticed you thanked Raelene in the credits she has always been a rock to Doug.

This is the best list I’ve ever seen at the dogs with depth and talls . Doug is right it’s time, if this list can get it together we could have a few flags coming.

Cheers Ledge. How was the vision of Marra coming off the bench and straight into the marking contest?! https://youtu.be/ih49Yb1C-ek

Yep, really interesting insights from Dougie about his depression and comparison to Baz.

One thing that Power has done is find talls who are exceptional when the ball hits the ground , years ago if you were tall you were no good with a ground ball , all our talls have ground skills.
Jamara , English , Darcy , Naughton all have great ground ball skills and let’s not forget Bont.
Doug mentioned Templeton and Beasley as champions and they were amazing but I’m not sure I can remember either kicking goals after picking it off the turf and a baulk or side step in a pack.
They just weren’t any good at it.

[Hotdog60]

Different times though wasn't it and I think you can't compare past players with current ones.
They got a lot of leading up to the ball and one on ones today game tends to be more congested and you need mobility to work around it.

I was glad to hear Ossie reflect on his decision to go to the NFL tryout camp in the U.S. straight after joining the dogs. I remember being very pissed off at the time. Great to hear him say that it was the wrong thing to do and that he regretted it. A fine player for us.

NEW EPISODE!
Premiership Bulldog Jordan Roughead shares his wild journey, along the way to the most remarkable magic carpet ride - the 2016 Grand Final - in this unmissable episode!

Another great interview Mat.

Roughy comes across as a very intelligent and insightful interviewee. Interesting to hear his take on Rocket's manner when dealing with him. It appeared to take you by surprise.

[Mat Lyons]

It was really interesting to hear Roughy say that - if you haven't watched my interview with Rocket, do so, as he has a very different take on how he communicated with players!

Thanks for supporting the pod - I am interviewing Barry Standfield tonight :)

Don't forget to ask him if he lined up on Plugger for a few minutes in his first game with us? Chris Grant at one end and Standfield at the other. Grant in #29 and Standfield in #47

I also recall when he replaced Scott Wynd in the ruck early in a game against Carlton and went on to play a big role in that win.

I remember that day against Carlton as well. Punched well above his weight all day.

Full of heart that bloke.

[Mat Lyons]

They're on my question list - looking forward to following up on your reminder about how he slayed Harry Madden at Princess Park!

[HOSE B ROMERO]

Was bog that day. I remember Wyndy laying prostrate in front of the Heatley stand. Apparently convulsing.
After the game i remember seeing Peter Welsh standing outside our race and a couple of Carlton supporters walking by had a crack at him so he told them to pi55 off.
Great day on their dung heap.

[Mat Lyons]

Yep, exactly. Just had my interview with 'Fish' and he goes into great detail about that day playing on Madden and being the "unlikely hero". I will share it next month, but the episode is in the queue behind Geoff Jennings and Neil Cordy.

I have Dale Morris coming up - any questions you'd like me to probe?

Thanks Mat. Could you please ask Dale, how bad was his back in the GF? Did he have pain during the game?

Also, ask him if he would have liked to play in a different role in his footy career, instead of backline.

[LifeLongBulldog]

Thanks Mat, could you ask Dale what was the best win he was ever apart of excluding the grand final?

Waiting very patiently for Geoff and Neil.

[Mat Lyons]

They are both right up there with the best interviews. Storytelling, honesty and some tears from raw emotion in these upcoing eps. Thanks for supporting them Maxy!

Geoff is pretty special. Great long distance runner at high school. Cried for days when he retired.

Awesome Mat, he and KT were my first Footscray hero's, the number 25 running around was just a jet, fast with great skills and loved watching him burn off Lethal at Princess Park one game, and that infamous jumper number swap with Terry Wheeler (35) to try put the Bombers off.

[ledge]

If you ever come across Zeno , ask him about his braybrook days and ask him how his house ended up with his name painted on his old tin roof.
Tell him John wright says hello. I bet that brings up some memories.
Primary schoolmates we were, lost contact when he moved to Keilor.

Take a listen to the part where Neil recalls 2016. He weeps openly and talks about his love for the Club. Love it!

INCREDIBLE interview with Bulldogs champion Merv Hobbs!

Free and all yours to enjoy!...

Great interview with Merv Hobbs Matt. I love the way you intersperse all those photos during the interviews.

I had to laugh towards the end of the interview when Merv said we need to get more height at the club and that we have too many players around his height of 5 foot 8!!!

[Mat Lyons]

Cheers Jose! The photos are sourced from our Club Historian, Ace Arthur, in addition from the interviewee's personal collections or sourced from library archives or online.

I am currently editing Barry Standfield's episode, so I will share later this week. Thanks for supporting the pod and let me know if you have anyone you'd like me to get on the program...

Cheers Mat. If possible, I would love to hear the perspective of some non-playing staff. Shane O'Sullivan maybe or Mick Malthouse who drove the recruiting in the 80's. Maybe Dr Jake Landsberger. Or some of the trainers and behind the scenes staff from way back.

Appreciate the research

Shane has some great stories. Lives in my building.

Another ripper interview! Very articulate guy.

Of particular interest is the Cordy connection to Footscray a hundred years ago through the bakery and 'Cordy's Green';
Also that Lachie Bramble wears no. 29 - Neil's old number - as his father was taught by Neil 45 years ago at Essendon Tech!

Seriously the club should have your interviews on loop in our museum Matt.

[Mat Lyons]

Cheers Jose. Thanks for your support and I hope everyone can keep watching, as the success depends on the demand and viewing figures.

I had thought that the Club would feature these on the official website and promote in order to share the stories of our champions. If the viewing figures grow, they may consider it. How good would it be to go into the museum and have an interactive section to hear from our players and to learn the history?

Why? The club is very risk averse. Got rid of Danny doing the banners even as other clubs started to copy his work.

TBH I'd be very surprised if they picked up your show before Danny/Boyd given the inside connection there. Not to say it can't happen but I'd be using that as a bellwether.

[Mat Lyons]

DannyBoyd's pod is a ripper. They have Tom and talk current issues.

Inside the Kennel has Dougie and we discuss current issues plus have the Past Player episodes, which no other Club is doing in this format or depth. I'd like to think our Club's history is pretty important to prioritise.

I'd love to see both ITH and DB Podcasts given an official platform from the Club.

I think this is your best yet Mat.

This isn't just Footscray history like we've heard a thousand times before.

This is ancient Footscray stories stretching back to the 1920's from someone who was there!
Such an astute bloke who has seen EVERY dogs player and his pick for the greatest will surprise.

Loved his stories about the origin of the banana kick and the 'boil on my bum' episode amongst others.

Keep them coming.

[Mat Lyons]

Great to hear it Jose! He is an absolute treasure - to think that a boy who sold records at the ground, jumped the fence to avoid entry fees to games and listened in to private discussions from the Match Committee, would go on to play for the Club and serve as President is astounding. But to think at 105, he can recall details from matches played 90+ years ago is truly remarkable.

Keep watching and thanks for your kind words.

[merantau]

That was such an enjoyable listen. Articulate, honest and insightful. I only met Fletcher once and thanked him for his contribution to our Club. I made the point of letting him know that "there will never be a better clearing kick to the boundary line in the dying moments of a game than the one you produced in the Prelim against GWS."
It bought a smile to his face.
Brilliant interview.

Ripper interview. Had the pleasure of working with Neil briefly when I was posted to Essendon Tech when I was on the Western Suburbs Relieving Staff. Really good bloke and a terrific player for us.

Thanks Merantau! Glad you liked Neil Cordy and Fletch Roberts. Looks like you have strapped yourself in for a day of podcasting. There's plenty for you to get through, so let me know what you think of each. How long have you been following the Dogs?

I'm interviewing Sir Dale Morris on Thursday. Pumped.

Indeed. My favourite players, as a kid, were Dave de Coite and "Ching" Harris. Later on, in my teenage years, I tried to emulate the great Vern Banbury - but, like most, my endeavours fell far short, and my VFA career with the Tricolours never got off the ground.

I⁹n my old age I'm comforted by our magnificent VFA Premierships, our break through '54 Flag and, of course, our unprecedented 2016 triumph. Go Dogs!
