  1. ā€œIn the 1938 Blue Book of Bulldogs, William Lawlor wrote that the Bulldog can be traced to 1210, the year of the first official bullbaiting in England. He added that the Bulldog ā€œis generally believed to have come down from the same common stockā€ developed for that sport. That meant these dogs had to be tough enough to face down a mighty bovine.ā€ No argument from me regarding selfish, obsessive breeding traits to the detriment to the health of a dog either SD. As stated in my original post this is particularly prevalent with French Bulldogs and Pugs of which many suffer from Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome which is horrible. The sole reason for the development of the Australian Bulldog breed was to help alleviate the health issues of British Bulldogs particularly for warmer climates. The Aussie Bulldog is a taller, leaner dog with a longer ā€˜snout’ while still maintaining the ā€œlookā€ and beautiful temperament of the Bulldog. This can only be a good thing for the development of the breed, especially in this country. Like you I’m a dog lover and in particular Bulldog lover, so long may the breed continue, if bred responsibly.
  2. Bassett’s sniffing around for another Premiership.
  3. I’ve got a bulldog and he’s as fit as a fiddle. Walks up to 5km without any issue and high intensity exercise not a problem. Their origins date back to the year 1210. I understand where you are coming from though, French Bulldogs tend to struggle more-so than British or Australian. PETA can get [censored] pushing this barrow.
  4. Parker needs to worry more about getting a kick than telling everyone how soft they are. He’s finished. Best thing the Swans can do is offload him to North.
  5. They really made sure to tick all the boxes: Can’t wait for next year āœ… Disappointing to miss finals āœ… All great mates and life long friends āœ… Setting myself for a big 2025 with the MFC āœ… Big smile because I’m genuinely happy āœ… I’ve seen less contrived interviews with Macho Man Randy Savage, but who cares. He’s stuck with us (for now), he’s a jet and is driven to give his all for his own sake, regardless of whether he’s completely happy at the club. Let’s hope we make amends in 2025 in every way and he is still happy to be there.
  6. Channel 7 news gave plenty to the feasibility story.
  7. I got it anyway.
  8. Zero interest in this finals series now. [censored] you Brisbane and [censored] you Zorko.
  9. He’s a great guy with the clubs best interests at heart, but he’s not President material. He’ll fill the void until Smith steps in.
  10. Fun fact. Christian took a ā€œpay cutā€ to accomodate Brayshaw’s long term contract.
  11. Probably crossed paths with you in Juice and Daisys back in the day.
  12. There’s more than one way to build ā€œBrand Petraccaā€ā€¦
  13. Thanks for all your training reports, hard work and candid insights@WalkingCivilWar. Now get a job.
  14. This kid is the future. Congratulations Trent, I love watching you give your all.
  15. Just heard he’s not playing Friday, tribunal have already given him 6 weeks for this.
  16. I’ve heard @dazzledavey36 has offered to represent said person and is happy to accept a late fifth rounder.
  17. Hope you make it out.
  18. Tom Morris going through our players rubbish bins as we speak.
  19. Round 12 Alice Springs, watching from the Diamond Creek Hotel with a group of the only Fremantle supporters in the state sitting behind me. What a day.
  20. Can’t see the remainder of his career flourishing without the state of the art, indoor, living room sized artificial grass area at Casey. Good luck Nibbler I will miss you.
  21. They tried last year and got knocked back.
  22. She moved from Brisbane to be with him, don’t think she’s fully entrenched here. if true though, this news is a surprise I agree.
  23. @WERRIDEE can we please get your coaching line up with in and outs every week before next season? That’d be ace.
