[LostDoggy]

Thanks for that - all done

First time at the Cattery since we broke through for our first win after losing about there for about 35 years straight.

Will never forget it. Half-way though the final quarter we were getting done....again so we started walking around the ground to an exit on the opposite side where our car was parked.

Walked a few paces - we kick a goal. Walk a few more - we kick another. Walk a few more - we kick another. Now its getting interesting. By the time we get to the other side we are in front and we WIN. Unbloodybelievable. Never thought I would see the day.

Must have been sometime in the seventies.

I remember one game in the middle of our losing streak when at three quarter time we were getting slaughtered. The players gathered together for the 3/4 time huddle and EJ who was captain coach walked straight through the huddle said nothing and went to his position at the opposite end of the ground.

The players stood there nonplussed and then like stray dogs walked to their positions and waited for Geelong to finish their huddle to start the last quarter.

Footy was a bit different then.

It was said that our inability to win down there was because we couldn't handle the travel. Where are we playing this week? Darwin? No worries.

Seems like a few of us from WOOF are heading down to the cattery. When we get our tickets we should see if we're near each other.

I booked silver for TCP & myself.

[LostDoggy]

I'm on the wing pretty sure that was silver

[aker39]

TCD, the seats I thought I had in Brownlow stand did not eventuate, so I ended up booking 9 silver seats last week. We should have a good contingent of Woofers there.

EJ never won down there in all his playing days. The home ground advantage was unbelievable in the old suburb grounds.

When do the standing room tickets come on sale?

Couldn't find a corporate box? :)

[LostDoggy]

Please don't forget that the Barwon Bulldogs will be having an Aftermatch Function at St Mary's Clubrooms (in the grounds of KP). Admission is $5.00 which will buy you a ticket in our raffle. Food and drink on sale too. Players will be in attendance. If we win it should be an absolutely super function.
When we won there for the first time in a long while (about 2002?) with Terry Wallace, everybody came back - Werribee players and coaches, Bulldog players and coaches and of course David Smorgon. They couldn't keep the smiles off their faces.
Go Doggies!

[hujsh]

I won't even have to pay!:D

But will have to sit with some Cat members:(

My Nan who's been a supporter since she was about 14 (is about 70 now) won't be there so I'll use her ticket

Do you need to book, or is it just roll up?

As we were going to the game on Sunday along Footscray Road we pulled up at a set of lights right next to the Barwon Bulldogs Bus. Would have been a nice trip home.

[bornadog]

I purchased the silver tickets on the wing. First time i have been down to Kardinia Park for a while. Looking forward to the after match function as well....be even better if we get over the line

Yeah I went Silver as well. I have previously mainly stood behind the goals.

In the 80's we use to stand on the Wing. The best game was in 1985 when we won there for the first time in about 30 plus years.

Footscray..... 7.3 12.6 17.8 23.8 146
Geelong..... 7.9 10.13 14.19 17.22 124

I think that was the game where Peter Foster ran through Stoneham and knocked him out.

Beasley kicked seven and Gary Ablett 5. (Lets hope jnr doesn't follow in dads steps)

[LostDoggy]

Add another 4 to the silver wing:D

[LostDoggy]

I managed to get the out of some another commitment:), so I will be going, but will have to watch from the standing room :(. Im really looking forward to going, its going to be a great game.

...after being bought by a lot of WOOF members.

[LostDoggy]

Indeed I am glad I got mine when I did. I can't wait to get over this weekend of footy Got the Melbourne game then the Cats and then the trip up to the ACT hopefully 3 wins from 3 starts would be nice.

[bornadog]

don't forget, standing room tickets go on sale tomorrow.

[aker39]

Sold Out

[Mantis]

I got my standing room tickets this morning.

[LostDoggy]

Dammit, didnt end up getting seats

Paying for Standing Room? No Thanks

Front row of my TV will have to do for this one..

[bornadog]

Nothing like being there.

[Twodogs]

And standing up is the best way to watch footy. Understand alexxx's point about not paying to do it though. But I did. Gladly

See you in the outer mate.

[LostDoggy]

Lol i live in melton

I am happy to travel interstate, but 90mins to geelong to stand when i can watch it on tv? No wayy jose!

[Mantis]

See you in the outer mate.

Looking forward to it, shoulding be a cracking game...

Generation Y have it a bit to easy with the modern stadiums, nothing better than standing at the footy amongst supporters from both teams.

Not yet you didn't. :)

The chance to watch the Dogs in a geniune top of the ladder match doesn't come often. Since i have been a regular at games (about 1990) i reckon this is only the 4th time its happened. Geelong 1992 KP, Geelong 1997 PP, North Melbourne 1998 MCG, and now Geelong 2008 KP.

Actually there may have been a Saints one at Waverley in the late 90's too, i remember it being dubbed the july grand final.

Anyway, it is bloody rare, and that its at the only remaining oldschool VFL venue, and i will be standing in the outer to watch it, only adds to the sense of occasion.

The truly great thing about standing rather than sitting is during the course of a game you can cover a fair bit of territory and give many more prople the benefit of your observations. If you're just sat there then it's only the people immediately around you who get to enkoy them.




Don't lie :D

Nope. I'd genuinely prefer to stand than sit. Hanging over the fence in Darwin was worth the trip alone.

[Pembleton]

My group of tickets came today too. Standing room.

Gee, what a surprise, so am I!!:rolleyes:

[Super 27]

G. Ablett stand Bay 11...anyone else near by. I was told i would be on the wing? I not a big fan of sitting behind the goals.....maybe it is because i am spolit with my level 2 seats on the wing at TD.

Beggers can't be chosers!

[ledge]

Watergardens hotel downstairs, big screen, cheaper beer, warm and comfy, heap of doggie supporters and free entry.
Alternative: long drive, watch game in can of sardine atmosphere, freezing your butt off, paying twice as much for a light beer and giving your money to the cats.
Then trying to get past all the sooky cat supporters when they lose and fight ur way back down geelong road.
My god i hate that place with a passion.

[SonofScray]

Gee, what a surprise, so am I!!:rolleyes:

So am I! Won't this be a lovely day out.

Sounds like an ideal alternative to sitting hunched up in traffic on Geelong rd or packed into the first train back to Melbourne. I'm certainly planning to see you there Mo.


Whereabouts is it?

Walk out of the ground on the members' side and straight in front of you is another oval. That is St Mary's ground. The clubroooms are there too, close to Latrobe Terrace. Easy to find.
Please say hello. I look forward to seeing WOOF members. We probably need a secret sign :D

To all members / supporters travelling down the road for tomorrow's game, "Be Strong, Be Proud for we are the boys of the Bulldog Breed"

Enjoy the day for this year we have arrived.

I have loaded the fridge with a carton of beer and the pantry is stacked with Smith's Salt & Vinegar chips. Short of being at the ground, it doesn't get much better than that for simple contented folk like me.

The footy will be live on the plasma and the family has been instructed not to engage me in conversation between 2 & 5pm.

One more sleep.

Go Doggies.

[Mantis]

For those who are still keen to go I might have a couple of spare tickets (general admission), at the moment I have 1 definitely maybe 2.

Send me a PM if your interested.

[The Underdog]

Can't make it for various reasons, mainly work (although Mantis' post above had me scheming for a minute). Good luck to everyone going down, barrack your arse off and bring home a win, hope you have a top day.

[Mantis]

Too cold? No superbox? Now, who's a prima donna? :D

I'm going....I can rough it....I think

I had brought tickets for a couple of other's who have to work.
