Western Bulldogs

The Western Bulldogs, formerly known as the Footscray Football Club or The Bulldogs is an Australian Football League club based at the Whitten Oval in western suburban Melbourne, drawing its supporter base from this traditionally poor, industrial, and less leafy part of Melbourne. Virtually since its founding, it has been one of the league's less successful clubs, both in terms of on-field success and off-field resources. It has won only one premiership, in 1954.

Under tightly focussed management by club president David Smorgon, driven coaching by Terry Wallace[?], and the on-field leadership of Chris Grant and Tony Libretore, the club had a relatively successful period through the mid- to late 1990s. However, without a premiership win, the club's future as ever looks on a knife's edge.
