The Bulldogs in 2016

[BulldogzLegend]

Yeh Grub only

Mbye fluked one I think as well

 

[Dogtime]

The only thing these players will do in the offseason is learn to dance, sing, play the guitar, twerk and take Hitup after Hitup in the opp 20. All that with music playing from some shitty tower perched above Belmore sports ground

We are best dancers in the league but suspiciously absent from the Footy Show Grand Final Player Revues. Where were they?

 

[magdog]

In 2016 you would think BMoz, Lichaa and Mbye will all grow and develop, by virtue of the fact they now have their first year of FG in their respective positions out of the way....that there is virtually our whole spine.
So it is conceivable (no matter how hard it is to believe based on the shitty performances dished out this year) that the team should work more cohesively than last year.
Regardless all of our spine need to work extensively on their skill level as they were pretty much one trick ponies in 2015, need some variety and options in attack.
Challenge is that we need BIG improvements in their performances, a la Hunt and Milf to be a real threat.
To me , next year is a real test of what Des is all about as a coach. He's had long enough to shape this roster, he's made the calls, it's all on him.....5th year has to be time to deliver , it's just hard to see how from where we sit!

2016 is our year lol we have to believe or we might as well wait for 2017

Under normal circumstances what you have in your first sentence is straight logic. It should happen.

However we have Hasler as our coach; enter the unnormal circumstances. Hasler wants his no.9 to be a tackling machine. Attack triggered by go forward from dummy half is a totally unacceptable concept.

Then we have our halves. No matter how hard Reynols and Mbye try to put it together doesn't matter. The point is that with a pussy cat, no go forward pack in front of them they are doomed to failure. Toss in a lousy kicking game and the future gets bleaker.

At the back we have BMoz. With no go forward, no kicking game and no game plan all I can say is "All the best BMozzle".

 

[Barba]

Reynolds has the best kicking game out of all three halves and that says something...

 

[CBDog]

If that CEO with the bad haircut reckons we have not signed or not going to, players of some significance for
next year, plus Des's reluctance to change in both selection and coaching is bad enough.

Couple that with we just snuck into the semis along with, if you agree that the other teams in this years top eight will
be there next year will make it even badderer if you look at the probable improvers outside this years eight.

Warriors - Has to be there with their signings and retched year with injuries.
Panthers - They too had a bad year with injuries and have Trent Merrin coming and youngens getter better
West Tigers - Could be a surprise packet without Farah interfering.
Eels - My opinion, fresh looking forwards and Foran. Will definitely be in the 8
Eagles - Who knows?............depends on Barrett and post Toovey. Could make it.


The rest in Raiders, Gold Coast and Newcastle a big fluke for one of them to make it.

Some good news will hopefully come this summer or we will struggle big time

 

[KLil]

Don't bother with worrying about 2016. The Dogs will never win a GF until we have a First class ball playing FB.. FULLSTOP.

Our halves will 100% be Reynolds and Mbye with Lichaa at hooker... Creativity and Direction will be like a fatigued prop steering the team around.

 

[jamma01]

With a spine of abbey , lichaa , moses we could be set for the next 10 years they could also flop , only time will tell all have big potential

How did we just sneak into the finals? We came fifth and missed forth by points diff. You don't have to make up lies to make your point that you don't think we will make the eight lol.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

There is really nothing exciting to look forward to in 2016.

 

[FaceBreaker]

2016 is going to be one of the worst years to look forward to as a dogs fan.

- no new significant signings
- some key losses (Pritchard)
- no fullback (bmoz is a winger)
- inexperienced half
- dud five eighth
- A lot of forwards with a bad work ethic and we are losing a key trainer
- Perrett + Lafai joke on right hand edge

Bring on the fuking cricket

 

[speedy2460]

People say we have no kicking game, we have no attack, we have no fullback, we have shit wingers, we have a shit centre. Well who is responsible for these shortcomings?
The guy who is earning $18K a week, thats who. He has failed us and we deserve better. He has to go.

 

[south of heaven]

I was thinking when cook filled in , next year he may be able to add a spark to our attack comming of the bench he showed hope and hope is what we needed now thats gone ive got massive concerns about next year .
We are light years away from the teams last night and our window for a gf is fading fast. I hope des has a big fukking ace up his sleeve

 

[Trafford10]

We are a long way off the Cowboys, Broncos and Roosters.
Hopefully we see a lot of improvements in the halves from this year?
It is a worry that the roster appears weaker next year.
We are not going to the challenge for the premiership so the rest is sort of academic.

 

[LordSidious66]

This has to be the backline for 2016 for us to go anywhere (I'm gonna get shot for this but anyways)
1. Brad abbey
2. Bmoz
3. Jmoz
4. lafai (unless anyone can think of an alternative)
5. Rona
Halves
6. Reynolds/Mbye
7. Chislom

Forwards (starting)
8. Tolman
9. Liccha(well cooks gone we have no other choice)
10. Graham
11. Jackson
12. Lane
13. Eastwood

Interchange
14. Klemmer
15. Kas
16. Browne
17. Fulalo

 

[Horny Wog]

Would like to see the club stamp down there authority and strip back the coaching staff.

Leave Hasler & Dymock only and bring in a Michael Hagan or the likes to join the coaching staff.

piss off egan, cleal and the likes and bring in Mulholland.

If Des is letting go of good players for reasons only he knows, the club should let go of coaching staff for the obvious reasons

 

[Realist90]

We really need to find the ingredients we had during the 80s and 90s that made us a powerhouse club. Can everyone state the ingredients I.e. Coach, players in positions, style of play etc

Honestly we need a good recruitment/ retention officer and Mulholland would be nice( again) but contracted to St Merge until end of 2017.

We will be getting a new high performance guy however with Harry Harris gone. Hope he/she is a good one because the effectiveness of the one we had was debatable.

Find a good halves coach.

A clean out of the coaching ranks may be in order and I would agree to keep Jimmy ( that is unless he wants to leave)but honestly what does Kelly Egan really do?

 

[sgodllubsti]

facts are we have a spine like a jelly fish, no proper fullback, no halves, an average hooker
