Loved reading your debate with Groucho Einstien it broke me up with his sage views that the Western Bulldogs should adopt the Sim's business methodology as a way forward!Great that both He and his Sister are Bulldogs supporters and debating the issues can only fuel the fire!I think Groucho could become a Footscray cult figure

Firstly welcome aboard John Gent Stand.
As for Groucho Einstein becoming a Footscray cult hero- well possibly but I imagine he would rather be a Western cult hero than a Footscray one.
This paragraph below is a pearler
Our club traditionally has had one of the lowest supporter bases in both the VFL and the subsequent AFL, duely with that, our club has also suffered a lack of on field success, which again impacts of our ability to attract new supporters. For these reasons, amougst others, our club has not been able to have the financial cushions enjoyed by our neighbouring clubs over the years. South Melbourne and Fitzroy neither had these elements as well, but these clubs failed to look outward and be pro-active in their business', and thererfore were forced by the competition government to relocate interstate. I argue that the name change to the Western Bulldogs, which I would support if asked to vote for, has played a part in keeping this club in the Western suburbs of Melbourne. I grew up in the Western Suburbs, not Footscray, but outer western, and now live in West Footscray, and are extremely proud of my western herritage, and thus more proud to support Western Bulldogs than Footscray.
That's the equivalent of saying 'Yeah although Joe Stalin was a dictator and didn't allow democracy- I would have actually voted for Joe Stalin if Uncle Joe had of allowed free elections. Anyway I couldn't have a debate with him because I don't go into Sims anymore. The reason is because I am boycotting them for changing their name. I feel very strongly about that -since he let me know. I didn't know they had- ignorant buffoon aren't I?
