Great days, patriotism, suburban battlefields, characters on and off the field, as Victorians built this great game for a hundred plus years. Interstate whingers who paid peanuts all to join OUR competition and change the name to AFL..Didn't see too many Melbourne sides lining up to join joke comps like the QAFL, SANFL & WAFL. End result.. 8 interstate sides that no one gives a rats about, lost suburban rivalries, and a soulless plastic competition with pretty boys who look and sound the same.
This match holds so many records I lack the space to list. The 22 goals shared by Templeton and Dunstan is a VFL record matched only by Doug Strang and Titus in 1931 - but when one recognises Dunstan was an on-baller the extraordinary character is seen
God i miss those days. Loyal fans who went to every game and shouted. And the game was better for it. The roar at these suburban grounds was louder than a packed MCG today.
I agree with you mate! The AFL say that the national competition had to happen, This is complete fallacy, Why doesn't the NT, ACT, and Tasmania, Who have just been refused entry into the AFL have a side, Because it's all about the $, A once great sport has been ruined! Andrew Demetriou and his cronies are are joke! He earns 1.4 million a year, he should be on 1/10 of that!

When are they going to bring back the name Footscray? Western is a stupid name

I prefer 'Western' because just 'Footscray' alone makes us look like a bunch of vietnamese and sudonese wankers. lol
