Saturday 6 December will be a dogs’ day out in Yarraville with the Sun Theatre hosting a cinematic celebration of the Western Bulldogs to mark the club’s 100th anniversary in the VFL-AFL.
Unsurprisingly the day will begin with a screening of the iconic 1997 documentary, Year of the Dog, that captures raw passion, loyalty, and heart of the Bulldogs community as the club goes through an on-field and off-field transition ahead of the new century.
A much more recent documentary, Dogma, will then have its premiere screening.
The locally produced documentary offers a fresh and intimate look at the club’s cultural significance through the eyes of fans and filmmakers from the western suburbs.
A panel discussion and book launch will then be held, including special guests Shaz and Carlos who feature in the film, as well as the publishers of Bulldogs Through and Through, the club’s official 100-year commemorative book.
3AW’s and Laura Spurway will moderate as MC.
The third and final film of the day, The Outsiders, a powerful and emotional documentary chronicling the Bulldogs’ historic rise, resilience, and ultimate triumph in the 2016 AFL Premiership, will then be shown.
Bulldog icon Bob Murphy, who was famously on the dias to help raise the premiership cup that day, will be on-stage for a panel discussion to close out this dog day too.
Copies of Bulldogs Through & Through will be available for purchase as will Western Bulldogs merchandise.
