The long wait is finally over for AFL tragics. Footy’s back, and how for Bulldog supporters. In front of a sold-out capacity crowd at Whitten Oval on Saturday, the Dogs lead most of the day against a young, gallant Richmond. Things looked dangerous for the Dogs in the final quarter, the game hanging in the balance by a few points before Bontempelli dobbed one in traffic from 35 out. Then the dam broke, Bulldogs winning by 22 points in what was a cliff-hanger for most of the arvo. (Click the pic for video highlights)

Dogs v Tigs

Great to be out there watching the Doggies once more at our ‘spiritual home’, the Whitten Oval. Been a long, long while between drinks.

Fires out.
