[Desipura]

Im seriously thinking about it.

[Twodogs]

Yep, I'll be there-I'll post a training report early tomorrow arvo for all those who cant make it.



Just one thing, how do you access the infill building from Hocking st without entering Whitten avenue? Do you call Steve Hooker and get him to polevault you over it?

Went into the Bulldogs Central (new shop) on Saturday - see picture below.
Enter Hocking St and enter carpark on left. There was a walk way thru Whitten av with temporary fencing up. The ground floor of the infill building was totaly empty so l asume you will enter thru there.

I take it you haven't been to the Whitten Oval for a loooooooong time.

[LostDoggy]

Attended the training session today, ran into fellow WOOF poster Ernie S.

The session was mainly based on sharpening skills, with most players participating, except;

Brad Johnson - Practised goal kicking up the other end.

Hudson and Minson - Walked the oval and thats all.

Tim Callen - also walked the oval after most had finished the session.

Tiller and Everitt did some short sharp sprints up and down away from the main group.

In the main group

Higgins looked pretty good and moved nicely,

Aker as usual, very professional and practised alot of snap shots from all sorts of angles

Skipper was slotting through 60 metre goals with little effort

Hahn, although with the main group, had a yellow vest on, and was not involved in any of the close drills - suspect may be sore after that heavy fall on Saturday in the first quarter.

Ward - didn't see him at all, maybe he was at school:p

West worked with Griffen on his skills.


Of the young pups, very impressed with Wood, the way he moves as well as his kicking.

If I missed anything, others please post.

[aker39]

Thanks Bornadog.

As we get deeper in to the finals, I'm sure there'll be more and more people at these sessions.

How did the redevelopment look?

Redevelopment is really starting to take shape, the infill building is getting there and won't be long when they start to fit the inside out, the running track around the ground is also taking shape. The main works seem to be on the Old John Gent stand.

Was Dylan Addison anywhere to be seen?

Was Dylan Addison anywhere to be seen?

I was thinking about that after I wrote the above, I don't remember seeing him at all, but that doesn't mean he wasn't there.

[Sockeye Salmon]

Haha last few times ive been its only for the temporary bulldogs shop or the ELC that time..

That statue has been there a while now.

After the disaster in 97 some dickhead put a Crows jumper on it.

And the statues of EJ and the Hawk are still at the Braybrook pub.

[hujsh]

Hudson and Minson - Walked the oval and thats all.

Dear god, imagine if we went in without either of them

[bornadog]

Don't believe anything wrong with Minson, Eade said he has had a heavy training load and needed to ease up, but who knows. Street and Skipper looked fit:D

[LostDoggy]

Yes Michael I agree about Minson. I think he was there with Hudson for moral support and so it looks better to the press.

Definitely not out there today.
