THE Bulldogs 2014 VFL team could return to its Footscray moniker under a proposal to be decided by club members.

The club today will call on members to vote on whether its stand-alone side takes the field as the Western or Footscray Bulldogs.

If the Footscray name is chosen, it would be the first time the club has played under its original name since 1996.

Club president Peter Gordon said while its board of directors would have the final say, it wanted supporters' input before reaching a decision.

The official name will be announced next month.

THE coach was sacked after a few games.

His replacement improved the team so dramatically it won the premiership.

Six months later, the club disappeared.

By any measure Moorabbin's 1963 season in the VFA was out of the ordinary.

Grand final glory over great rival Sandringham sprang from a mediocre start.

But the Kangaroos never made it to 1964. They were kicked out of the association and off their Linton St ground.

"Intriguing, isn't it?" Graham Dunscombe says, glasses on his forehead as he takes in morning sun at his Beaumaris home.

It was 50 years ago that Dunscombe, 88, coached Moorabbin to the premiership and his memories of the season are strong.

He'll never forget the reception the players received when they arrived at a celebratory dinner at the club.

"They gave us a very hearty welcome," he says.

GARY Ayres and Andy Collins were part of one of football's great backlines.

When Hawthorn sides of the 80s and 90s were read out, they invariably started with A Collins, C Langford and G Ayres.

On Tuesday night, Port Melbourne coach Ayres and West Adelaide coach Collins match moves in a Foxtel Cup match at the MCG.

The winner will progress to the semi-finals in July.
