The Western Bulldogs will be stepping it up to play on the big stage tonight against Collingwood in the Dogs first Friday night fixture for the season.

The boys are calling on Members and Fans to don the Red, White and Blue and support the team in full force in what has been termed Mission Possible.

Over 43,000 tickets have already been sold for tonight’s clash so make sure you don’t miss out on being a part of the action.

Bulldogs ruckman Will Minson believes it is important for fans to get to Etihad Stadium to help the boys lift.

“It is very important [that fans turn out]. They want to come and enjoy football as we all do and hope that we play well,” Minson said.

“The more that are there to witness it… against Collingwood with a big crowd. Our home game. There is nothing better.”

Thanks to the Bulldogs match day sponsor Mission Foods, Mission Possible will see a large number of fan activation activities in what will be a new football experience.

Activities will be ramped up at the Footscray end of Etihad Stadium while a number of competitions and videos will be on the big screen throughout the match.

One lucky fan will also be given an exclusive first class seat upgrade to the Etihad Airways Skydeck thanks to Etihad Airways.
