Game records

Plympton’s colours of black and red were adopted at the instigation of the club’s founder, Robert McGhee, who originally hailed from Victoria, and was an ardent Essendon supporter. As late as the 1970s his wife May made all the club’s lace-up guernseys. Nevertheless, they are known as the Bulldogs, not the Bombers.
