Western Bulldogs
Having joined the VFL/AFL premiership in 1925 as the Footscray club, the Western Bulldogs have just the one Premiership next to their name which was achieved in 1954 against Melbourne. Although the Bulldogs have struggled somewhat for financial stability in its history, a boost in sponsorship and membership figures have seen the Bulldogs perform very well in the AFL recently, reaching the 2006 semi-finals and the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Preliminary finals, guided by Rodney Eade, who resigned from the club late in the 2011 season.
With talented plays like Adam Cooney, Robert Murphy and Ryan Griffen still in the peak of their careers Western Bulldogs will be looking for a quick rebuild under newly-appointed coach Brendan McCartney to regain their position toward the top of the AFL’s pecking order.
