Mr Bowers sent the letter on Monday, and is currently awaiting a reply from his favourite Bulldogs player
‘I have sent you my poket munny so you won’t have to go. You are the best.’
The plea includes a $20 note sticky-taped to the piece of paper.
The money was a reference to a 1996 20 cents plea from a seven-year-old boy to Chris Grant to reject playing for Port Adelaide and stay at the Western Bulldogs.
The difference this time is that David Bowers is not a seven-year-old boy, but in fact a 53-year-old father of three.
‘It would be ridiculous to get rid of him, he is just a once in a lifetime player,’ her told Star Weekly.
‘He is the most exciting player out there.’
