Coastal happenings

Whilst training for tonight's game against Essendon, the Western Bulldogs' Jarrad Grant - recruited from the Dandenong Stingrays - was stung on Port Melbourne beach. 

By a stingray.

 

Today is also the birthday of renowned Australian wildlife antagoniser Steve Irwin. Who was fatally wounded by a stingray. And born in Essendon.

Now if their family pet was a bulldog named Jarrad, the words "Macabre" and "Perfection" could at last meet.
