		Sadly, however, Hawthorn steadied, Footscray players made a series of unforced errors at critical times, and the final result was the one that most pundits had predicted, a win to the Hawks, albeit by a significantly narrower margin (10 points) than in the previous meeting between the sides a fortnight earlier.
		When, miraculously, it appeared that Footscray was on course to meet its $1.5 million target, the VFL promptly upped the ante by declaring that the club needed to raise a further $3.5 million by January 1990 in order to meet its anticipated running costs for the forthcoming season.
		Football in the modern era can be fickle, however: within 18 months Wheeler was on the coaching scrap heap, replaced by former East Fremantle and Hawthorn supremo Allan Joyce, under whose aegis the side would contest the finals in consecutive years (1994-95) for the first time since the Charlie Sutton era.

		Football supporters aged between 10 and 16 years were recruited by two methods: a mail-out to VFL Football Club members and an intercept survey at six VFL football grounds.
		Among respondents who believed that most footballers smoke, three times as many intended to smoke in the future (X2=12.9, df=1, p=0.0003), and nearly two times as many labelled themselves as smokers; however, this latter finding was not significant (see Table 7).
		It is reassuring though that VFL footballers, when compared to people in their 20s, were perceived to be less likely to participate in habits such as smoking, eating junk food, drinking and driving, or drinking alcohol at parties.

		The Western Bulldogs is a long suffering club — perennial cellar dwellers forced to live on the brink of financial collapse.
		But I think there's a role for the government in occasionally, on issues like this, and we think it will be very warmly supported, and it's nice to be able to do it on the eve of a grand final.

	Western Bulldogs
		The Footscray Football Club was established in 1883 and named the "Imperials" in tribute to the British Royal Family.
		Of course immigration to Melbourne is not new however for some reason, Footscray was unable to tap the migrant's psyche as effectively as other VFL clubs.
		On the field, the club continues to play like battlers; raising to the occasion when a tall poppy club needs to be cut down or when their backs are against the wall.

		Footscray's home ground has been the Western Oval in the Western Suburbs, which was changed to Whitten Oval after Whitten's death.
		Footscray after a poor season both on and off the field in 1996 looked for a change of fortunes by trying to attract more members and sponsors by changing their name to the Western Bulldogs and by playing their home games at Optus Oval rather than the Whitten Oval.
		One Footscray player was included in the 20 players pictured on the A4 sheet of 20 P stamps of the millennium issue.

		In 1952 the VFL directed its clubs to secure all available public sporting areas in Melbourne in an attempt to nullify the growing threat of soccer in Victoria.

		He said the club was taking the matter seriously but the players would not be suspended at this stage.
		Many AFL club officials are surprised that the AFL is seriously considering a corporate administrator with no background in football for a revamped job that is strictly football-related.
		The Australian players were playing catch up football for the remainder of the day but the skills and attack on the ball by the Irish was more the brand of football the Australians are renowned for.

		The FFC had the constitutional argument on their side, there was to be a vote at the end of 1997.
		Well the leading lights of the FFC protested that the deal was not legally binding, but the Western Bulldogs had a signature and that was all that they decided was required and now they had the upper hand.
		It definitely won’t in football terms due to another AFL club having the word West in their name and also it’s such a general term that in any word association test it won’t be exclusively linked to the football club formerly known as Footscray.

		In my first season at the club I was fortunate enough to play in his 300th game and also thankful for his slender build which made carrying him off the ground at the end of the game a lot easier.
		I believe this kind of longevity at a football club is rare, but then again we are talking about a rare individual.
		When I first joined the club in 2000 I kept hearing rumours and murmurs of how the Deer Park Football Club is often mistreated and misrepresented in the media and the community at large.

		Its football club, too, is feeling the pressure from the corporate ethos and business philosophy of the survival of the richest which has invaded the Australian Football League (AFL).
		Tony Campbell, the Footscray full-back in 1993, is a business person and was so keen for personal monetary gain that he left the club to seek the big bucks in US football.
		Footscray's coach, Terry Wheeler, was sacked in 1994 because the club failed to make the finals in 1993 and was failing in its search for the corporate dollar.

		The club has had players of both quality and character such as Charlie and Ted, and later Gary Dempsey, the heroic ruckman who was badly burnt in bushfires in 1967 but managed to take out the game's top individual award, the Brownlow Medal in 1975.
		Under tightly focussed management by club president David Smorgon, driven coaching by Terry Wallace, and the on-field leadership of Chris Grant (who narrowly missed a Brownlow Medal in 1996 and 1997) and Tony Liberatore, the club had a relatively successful period through the mid- to late 1990s, making the finals from 1997 to 2000.
		During Smorgon's term, the club was renamed from Footscray to Western Bulldogs and moved from the Whitten Oval to the Telstra Dome.

		On the ground they were being beaten to the ground, elsewhere their dwindling support base meant little financial restitution for the club, leading AFL bosses to attempt to force a merge with another team.
		Club veteran Steve Wallis is nearing the end of his career; Tony Liberatore is body-broken at the end of every game but is a nuggety solider; Danny Southern attracts more injuries in a single season than many players face in a career and, toughest of all, the club's youngest player, Shaun Baxter, battles with cancer.

		Club chairman and secretary at this time was the legendary Mick Slater.
		The club's roots lay in 'The Crays' (the industrial and farming outskirts of the town) and Mick was keen for Orpington Urban District Council to see it as an asset to the town, hoping the council would support his ambitions to improve the club's headquarters at Grassmeade in Chelsfield Road (St Mary Cray).
		No such help was particularly forthcoming from the council and, in 1973, when the club's landlords decided to sell its land for redevelopment, Cray Wanderers FC moved to a new ground in Oxford Road (Footscray, near Sidcup).
