It was the Dog's first season as a stand alone team in the VFL. At least their long suffering supporters can celebrate a flag in their life time despite it being only the 2's.

Technically not a stand alone side. They are a AFL reserves side.
A stand alone side has no AFL listed players of which there are only Ports, Coburg, Williamstown and Frankston remaining.
23,000 to the GF today at Etihad today between two AFL reserves sides, what a joke

Yes correct. Worded very poorly on my part. First year of the Western Bulldogs going it alone.
Only half that crowd showed up in Perth

WAFL 12K probably an all time low.
Usually it is the other way around the WAFL crowd in the low 20Ks and the VFL around 10K.
Well done Subiaco, Aspley & Norwood.

Hate to be pedantic, but Coburg vs Williamstown wasn't the VFL final, it was the VFA final. The VFL Grand Final was Hawthorn vs Geelong and the VFL Reserves was Fitzroy vs Geelong

That's not being pedantic, it is a statement of fact.
The VFL was still called the VFL in 1989. The 1st "AFL" Grand Final was the following year between Collingwood & Essendon, although I think you will find that the players were still wearing VFL Logo'd shorts?
