Whitten Oval in Melbourne’s Footscray used to be a “rat-infested and tinea-infected” hellhole. Like the Western Bulldogs, it looked like it would fall apart at any moment.
Yet two unlikely figures, ex-Liberal prime minister John Howard and mystery Mexican billionaire Juan Gonzalez, helped kickstart a revolution that has transformed the Bulldogs and their home base from downtrodden battlers to a club brimming with confidence.
The Bulldogs, based in Labor heartland, managed to convince Howard during the 2004 election campaign there was merit in helping fund a much needed revamp of Whitten Oval. It was the beginning of a big rebuild on and off the field for the club, which will take on Melbourne in the AFL grand final in Perth on Saturday evening.
“There was certainly nothing in it for us for politically,” Howard told The Australian.

The Bulldogs used to be perennially on the verge of collapse or insolvency and the AFL seemed happy to watch the club go out of business.
Now they’re about to appear in their second grand final in five years and the club is a model of off-field strength and on-field brilliance and nous, encapsulated by coach Luke Beveridge and star captain Marcus Bontempelli.
“We’ve been able to build quite nicely over the past few weeks. But we’re coming up against a team with a good brand of football as well, so it should a good contest,” Bontempelli said this week about the grand final opponent.
As for Beveridge, he has defended his players to the hilt, describing the “collision footy” the Bulldogs played in their preliminary final win against Port Adelaide two weekends ago as “outrageously good”.
Going back further, though, a couple of secret meetings were key to radical changes that have underpinned the Bulldogs’ success story.
One was Howard agreeing to the game-changing revamp plan put up by ex-Bulldogs chief executive Campbell Rose in a federal seat the Coalition would never have a hope of winning.
The other involved billionaire Gonzalez, the Mexican boss of Mission Foods, being snatched by the Bulldogs, ironically, from under the noses of Melbourne in a clandestine move involving Bulldogs paraphernalia, expensive guitars and fast-food giants.
Whitten Oval was in such a bad way, says then club president David S

We also encourage any Bulldogs members that aren't able to go to the game to share their membership barcodes to to the more fortunate doggies fans, as we wanna see bulk red, white and blue in the crowd.
Most Western Bulldogs members have access to a priority 3 ticket. These go on sale tomorrow on Tuesday the 14th of September from 1pm AWST (3pm in VIC). Tickets can be purchased here
EDIT: That's all folks. Western Bulldogs' ticket allocation has sold out in only 4 ours. Hopefully some good people from this sub were able to get a ticket. I'll now lock this thread as it has served its purpose.
