Bulldog for Prime Minister

[LostDoggy]

With the current rumblings by the AWU, it is looking more likley that Julia Gillard will soon replace Rudd as PM. Have the Bulldogs ever been the team of an Australian Prime Minister? Serving or elected if you are pedantic enough to define.;)

[BulldogBelle]

Does this mean she will be playing Full Forward against the Hawks???:D

Send her a Peoples Beard scarf.

[LostDoggy]

Or make a new scarf: “Bulldog Fans Rule”

Errrr, no thanks. When she is an even remotely competent Education minister I will begin to entertain the idea of her as PM. Not before.

Besides, she kinda reminds me of that angry ass redhead game show host that was mean to people.

Our club doesn't need this embarrassment. One Terry Wallace is enough.

[The Coon Dog]

Our club doesn't need this embarrassment. One Terry Wallace is enough.
Why exactly do you see this as an embarrassment?

[Dry Rot]

Why exactly do you see this as an embarrassment?

Let's look at her record:

Her time in Opposition:

- Medicare Gold

- Supported Latham

- Botched industrial relations with business & industry pre-election (Swan and Rudd had to take it over negotiating with business)

And in Govt:

- Botched Education Revolution computers in school fiasco

- One of the kitchen cabinet Four who approved the pink batts disaster

- Botched BER wasteful spending

- Supported the ridiculous mining tax

- Part of the "Gang of Four" who have implemented every govt policy for some time

We don't need this sorry record attached to our club.

[LostDoggy]

I agree with your comment in another thread that both sides of federal govt resemble the Richmond Football Club ATM! was funny, and true. But if we are talking individuals she is certainly no Terry Wallace Dry Rot and probably the best PM we could have at the moment , when you consider the alternatives...um, Abbott anyone? :(

[LostDoggy]

Let's look at her record:

- Botched Education Revolution computers in school fiasco



Have you seen the condition our state schools were/are in after a decade + of coalition rule?
Shame on her for trying to do something about it and redress the balance:rolleyes:

Lucky for you education is a Federal responsibility not a state responsibility, otherwise you've made a fool of yourself with this post.

Or is it?

[Dry Rot]

IShe is certainly no Terry Wallace

Really?

As the Govt Gang of Four, she is every part of the Terry Wallace style of govt as Kevin Rudd.

As for Abbott and his friends, we have a terrible choice. I am a big fan of Paul Keating, and God knows what he makes of the current govt.

Have you noticed that he and Hawke have said nothing in the last 6 months? Both must be embarrassed being associated with these clowns.

So you're saying Johnny didn't favour private schools, ? or am i misunderstanding you?

[Dry Rot]

So you're saying Johnny didn't favour private schools, ? or am i misunderstanding you?

I'm saying firstly that schools are primarily a state responsibility.

Secondly, you're making a fool of yourself.

Which Federal ALP Govt elected in December 2007 chose to continue Howard's appalling private school funding scheme because they had no balls?

[BulldogBelle]

Yes, that would be great to see Julia Gillard as Prime Minister. She might come along to a few matches and raise our profile somewhat.

Sending her that Beard Scarf might generate some publicity.


A brand new $600 million stadium wouldn't go astray.

???
I think I agreed with you previously that both parties were the equivalent of the richmond football club.
But education went to the dogs under the Howard government I dont see how you could argue otherwise. Gillard is spending some money now in schools that i'm guessing wouldn't have been spent if the Liberal party had won the last election.

[Ozza]

Haha , and is there room for Julia and Baz up forward now that Johno is back?

Agree TCD - I think we are heading into dangerous territory when a footy forum starts talking politics. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and we should all respect that - doesn't mean I have to agree though. But let's be reasonable people, and polite! i.e., what has red hair got to do with anything? C'mon everyone and let's show some respect. BTW - surely it's a good thing that we now have a PM who is a passionate bulldog supporter and also lives in the western subs?

Julia rules! Move Baz out to CHF.

I like her. She's got as good a chance as any poor sucker politician to cover herself in glory. As our No.1 ticket holder we should back her all the way.

[LostDoggy]

I thought she was the number 1 female ticket holder but acoording to the website it's Lynne Kosky and Peter Gordon. The internet never lies does it? She will find it hard to turn up to the Mauka game next year I'd imagine as well. Let's hope there's no Judd-ster Rudd-ster moment, but I must say Julia does look resplendent in Red white and blue as always and she doesn't look nerdy waving her scarf like Kevin did at the Brisbane game last year wasn't it????

[LostDoggy]

Go Julia - Whether you like her or not - She has become the 1st female prime minister in Australia and cemented her name in history. The bulldogs were all over triple M this morning with her comments a few weeks ago about playing full forward. This is exposure for our mighty club. Now how long she keeps the top job - only time will tell. I think people will give her a go because Abbott is not a great alternative. Then what she does is up to her. But she has my supoort - a local girl, office in werribee, and a bulldog supporter !!!!!!

[LostDoggy]

For what it's worth..i reckon it's a great move both for our club and the country!! She will make a great prime minister.

[LostDoggy]

I dont think Da Druid wanted a labour/liberal political discussion here... they are as bad as each other anyway.

Thanks MarcoV, still haven't got an answer to my original question from anyone so far. Looking for trivia, not the annexation of this thread by more infighting and taunts than the French World Cup Soccer team.

[ledge]

In answer to your question Druid I always thought Prime ministers picked teams just because it was good to have an allegiance to one that suited the persona of the certain prime minister.

But in this case we all know Julia has truely been a bulldog supporter most of her life and has proven to be a lover of the club before becoming prime minister.
And to make it even better has her offices in the west.

[Desipura]

She isn't a miracle worker.

Hi Curly!

You can listen online like I do. http://www.abc.net.au/melbourne/ Last week there was a bit of a delay online and I heard the last couple of minutes of the show after I had gone off air. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get in a shout out to WOOF member ReLoad and his family whom I had the pleasure of meeting and with whom I went to a Cubs game last week. They were visiting our fair city. And we really turned on the many facets of a Chicago summer for them! Oh yeah, the Cubs won the game we went to. :D

Oops... TCD got in before me. I'm listening now.

[LostDoggy]

Leaving the game in Canberra, a guy a little under the weather (harmless) was hugging us and said I got my picture with Julia. He was fumbling with his mobile to show us. His mate said guess what he said to her ? "Good on you Toots, you will be PM one day". I hope for his sake he didn't delete that photo from his phone.

[Chicago1]

:D:D:D Anthony! May I use that to post on an ex-pat's site?

[Curly5]

Thanks, TCD and Chicago1, I'm now tuned in.

Chicago and Anthony, I hope you don't mind but I have saved your pictures for my desktop, they are great. :)

[LostDoggy]

In regards to photo shopping her head on a players body surely there is only one candidates body she should go on. Which reminds me, does he have new ink on his leg I noticed from the Subiaco game the other day? Anyone know what it is even if its old, its pretty big????

Not my pic KruZin on Big Footy did the work. He is a good guy and will not mind.

Gee if a week is along time in football a day in politics seems like an eternity ! Just as the thread started just great to see A Dog Fan as PM,and a woman is a groundbreaking day. On a side note I can't believe people don't like her because she isn't married! Some folk should just remain in their cave,honestly:rolleyes:

[GVGjr]

Guys, just a reminder that this is sports forum that is mainly dedicated to discussing the Western Bulldogs. Whilst it's great to have a Bulldog supporting PM I'll delete all posts that turn this or any other discussion on the forum into a political issues debate.

If you want to discuss politics, look around for somewhere else.

This isn't the best, but it is inspired...

"This man was in good company at the Dogs' latest match..."

[LostDoggy]

Having the now Prime Minister the the clubs number one ticket holder can only be seen as a huge positive for the club and if club management chooses to use this to benefit the club such as getting more major sponsors of which has always been a draw back, so be it.

I would support any move the club uses to make us more stronger both financially and on the field so we can all have this proud club going longer especially for the supporters!

[LostDoggy]

Lyn Kosky is the female number 1 ticket holder and Peter Gordon is the number 1 male ticket holder. Please note records. Our PM is a proud member of the WB, just like members of this WOOF forum.

Ok. So. I saw Rudd pumping his fists in the air with a Brisbane scarf last season at the GABA. Gillard has made Bulldogs her club. Political posturing? My question is; How long has she been a supporter? Personally, being an Artist I'm pretty good at reading faces. While I loath liberals she has a snide and arrogant side that leaves me cold.

You are off the mark about Gillard as a supporter, so it's quite possible your Artist's imagination has dreamed up 'snide and arrogant', which may just as easily be 'clever and confident'.

I read that alos, said she was a Bulldog supporter since she was a yoiung girl, I think.

[Murphy'sLore]

I think I read somewhere (this is all so authoritative!) that she started supporting the Dogs after beginning work at Slater and Gordon as a baby lawyer, because Peter Gordon was a keen Bulldog. So maybe not quite since childhood, but a good few years anyway.

Thanks for confirming that for me! ;):)

Don't want to step on anyones toes here and totally understand that those who have put so
much time and effort (and probably money) into getting this board going may well have a totally different view on this..

but I for one wouldn't mind a place to go to be able to shoot the shit during the week , (a small sub forum?) about politics, music? and other non sporting related matters.
I understand this is supposed to be primarily a sporting forum... but once you get to know a place and get to like some of the folks there it's only natural to want to shoot the shit once in a while and talk about stuff other than footy, especially midweek when things get a little quiet before the teams are announced.

I remember a few months ago there was a midweek thread on an Orwell book, 1984 or something, which got a bit out of control I must admit but was pretty funny and I enjoyed reading it before it was deleted . If Bob Murphy and Gia can get together for a bookclub once a week , (which is what i have heard) how about a small Woof sub forum , call it 'other' for want of a better word, for general chit chat and nonsense for when we have some time to kill midweek?

I know this might mean extra work for the mods so no probs if not doable , just thought i'd float the idea. :)

Here's the Music&Entertainment forum:

http://www.woof.net.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=28

And there are forums on cricket, soccer, rugby et al..

http://www.woof.net.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=22

Will have to defer to the mods on any others...A "general" one might be a good idea, although it may detract from the original purpose of the forum.

I sat in the mall the other day for 15 minutes and the amount of blatant drug traffiking going on was horrific. I really wish that scum would **** off out of my hometown.

It's pretty hardcore no doubt about it. Was there with my mum recently (she is in her 60's)
and she was scared and quite shaken up by what she saw.

Thanks Andrew! I looked all over but have never seen that before. Think I need to delete my cookies!

Maybe a board on politics can be called the Julia Gillard lounge...

Oh and earlier in this thread, loved the Kent Brockman reference from Furtanken
