Probably a little melodramatic, but still worrying for Dogs supporters.
Depending on who you asked yesterday the Western Bulldogs were facing extinction, or maybe just adding a little political grandstand to the facilities at the redeveloped Whitten Oval.
Victoria’s Parliament will today vote on a motion from Greens member Colleen Hartland to overturn the State Government’s intervention in the planning process for the oval’s redevelopment. If passed, the motion would send the planning process back to a hostile Maribyrnong Council.
But yesterday there were dramatic claims the Bulldogs could face extinction as the club and government worried whether Liberal members might support the Greens’ bid to scupper the government’s intervention.
Thankfully, the Liberals look like they’re coming to our rescue again:
Opposition Leader Ted Bailleu’s office later announced that the Liberals would not support the motion.

There are plenty of other things he should be doing, but most of the time he's dreaming of what he'll do when he grows up while watching bad Star Trek spin-offs.
