Afl 2016 Round 8 Melbourne V Western Bulldogs AFL 2016 ROUND 8 SUNDAY MAY 15, 2016 MELBOURNE V FACT SHEET WESTERN BULLDOGS LIBRARY THE BULLDOGS FIRST LEAGUE WIN OVER MELBOURNE Following Footscray’s entry into the VFL in 1925, the Bulldogs had to wait until their thirteenth encounter with Melbourne before recording their first victory. The first VFL match between the sides was in Round 4, 1925, at the Western Oval, Melbourne winning by 28 points. Melbourne then won the next six matches between the teams before Footscray held them to a draw in Round 5, 1929, at the Western Oval. The Bulldogs suffered four more defeats against Melbourne before they finally triumphed by 34 points in Round 16, 1931 at the Western Oval. Footscray were on top throughout this game, leading by 10 points at quarter-time, 12 at half-time and 19 at the final break. They kept Melbourne goalless in the final term to run out easy winners 10.12 (72) to 5.8 (38). The goal-kickers for the Bulldogs were Alby Morrison (3), Bill Downie (2), Ernie Nunn (2), Jimmy Joyce, Wally Minogue and Arthur Stevens. Footscray won their next three games against Melbourne, including a 20-point victory at the MCG in Round 5, 1933, before Melbourne had another seven-game winning streak from Round 7, 1934 to Round 17, 1937. MELBOURNE AND THE BULLDOGS IN FINALS Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs/Footscray have met four times in finals matches. The first of these was the 1946 first semi-final when the Demons defeated the Bulldogs by 18 points in front of 61,277 fans at the MCG. The final scores were Melbourne 17.18 (120) to Footscray 15.12 (102). Melbourne had only six goal-kickers – Jack Muller booted four, Jim Mitchell, Ernie O’Rourke, Alby Rodda and Norm Smith all kicked three and Len Dockett scored one. The 1954 grand final produced an historic first (and so far only) premiership win for Footscray. The Bulldogs kicked six goals to one in the first quarter and were in control throughout the game, doubling Melbourne’s score. Footscray 15.12 (102) defeated Melbourne 7.9 (51). A crowd of 80,897 saw Footscray full-forward Jack Collins boot seven goals. The 1961 preliminary final was watched by 86,118 fans and produced another Footscray win. The Bulldogs were again in control from the start of the game and after leading by seven goals at the final change, they ran out winners by 27 points. The final scores were Footscray 13.7 (85) to Melbourne 8.10 (58). Goal-kickers for Footscray were Jack Slattery (4), Merv Hobbs (3), Barney McKellar (2), Ted Whitten (2), Keith Beamish and Bob Spargo. The last finals encounter between the sides was in 1994 when a crowd of 65,557 saw the Demons defeat the Bulldogs by 79 points in a semi-final match at the MCG. Melbourne was three goals up at half-time but took complete control of the game in the third term when they kicked ten goals to the Bulldogs’ two. The final scores were Melbourne 21.18 (144) to Footscray 9.11 (65). Melbourne captain Garry Lyon booted 10 goals for the Demons. OVER TO YOU SOME HIGHLIGHTS BETWEEN THE TEAMS 1.

  • West Wing This Week Someone Who Is Not Only a Very Good Friend of Mine, but Has Been a Mentor Since I Was About 18
    A Werribee Tigers promotion West Wing This week someone who is not only a very good friend of mine, but has been a mentor since I was about 18. He played 261 games with the Bulldogs. He has been very influential on my career and my life and he has a son playing AFL SW: Welcome Steve Wallis Tell us your story, you are a Leongatha boy. Wally: Yes at 16 I came down and played with the Bulldogs in the under 19 competition, so the club put me through school. I did accounting part time as well as school. I actually started work in Werribee, at Werribee Mazda, when I was 18. SW: You retired in 1996, how do you see the game these days in comparison to your days. Wally: We were only part time footballers, we only trained three times a week and usually late in the afternoon because most of us worked. I think the big change in recovery and the fitness of the players is the fulltime aspect. Being able to manage your body daily is a lot easier than when you had people working fulltime. I think they expect a lot more out of their bodies these days. The only thing that worries me watching Mitch, is wondering how long his body will hold up to the rigors of AFL . SW: You played for a long time and you played with some great players-EJ Whitten, Charlie Sutton- Only joking. Who were some of the best you played with? Wally: I was on the end of Kelvin Templeton’s career at the Bulldogs, he was a standout player.

  • The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. by Sean Edward Gorman BA
    Moorditj Magic: The Story of Jim and Phillip Krakouer. By Sean Edward Gorman BA (Hons) Murdoch University A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Murdoch University March 2004 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work, which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………. Sean Edward Gorman. ii ABSTRACT This thesis analyses and investigates the issue of racism in the football code of Australian Rules to understand how racism is manifested in Australian daily life. In doing this, it considers biological determinism, Indigenous social obligation and kinship structure, social justice and equity, government policy, the media, local history, everyday life, football culture, history and communities and the emergence of Indigenous players in the modern game. These social issues are explored through the genre of biography and the story of the Noongar footballers, Jim and Phillip Krakouer, who played for Claremont and North Melbourne in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. This thesis, in looking at Jim and Phillip Krakouers careers, engages with other Indigenous footballer’s contributions prior to the AFL introducing Racial and Religious Vilification Laws in 1995. This thesis offers a way of reading cultural texts and difference to understand some Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships in an Australian context. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have often wondered where I would be if I had not made the change from work to study in 1992. In doing this I have followed a path that has taken me down many roads to many doors and in so doing I have been lucky to meet many wonderful and generous people.
