I can't believe it's over, the Board voted for it to last,
But now it's the end of September and the time for Des is past.
Most of the Doggies fans are rejoicing..it's the end of the evil dictator they cry,
The coach who changed it all..and saw the Dogs attack shrivel up and die.

So how did all this happen..cause it wasn't always so,
There was a time at Belmore when he was greeted, with a warm and fuzzy glow.
Heck he took the Blue and Whites to a Grand Final, in the first year he was there,
He revolutionised their forward play, he was a breath of fresh air.

But the seeds to his demise were probably sewn in that first Grand Final,
That coaching master from down south completely out coached his rival.
He set up a game plan that stopped the Dally M winner in his tracks,
All Dessie did was look on, and did nothing to alter his team's attacks.

This would be a recurring dream, a nightmare is probably more like it,
No matter what was happening out on the field, Hasler had a game plan and he stuck by it.
To the press he'd talk about all the completion rates and present all the stats,
But in the end it only made sense, to the people in tinfoil hats.

And then he got rid of him, Ennis, the heart and soul of the team,
A guy who had led the boys and who wanted to stay it seems.
He went on to take a premiership, with the boys from the Shire,
His skill in attack was reignited, the man was literally on fire.

To replace him Des recruited a young Sharkies Hooker with a reputation so high,
But in the three years he was in the Kennel he delivered nothing but a sigh.
A funny thing happened though, right at the end,
The boy turned it around and started to run again.

And this is why the fans were rejoicing at the news they'd seen Hasler's back,
They wanted a coach who changed his plans and not just work the stat.
The players he had were good enough to earn a premiership ring,
He just didn't wanna to change his plans, not one single thing.

So who will be the new coach..is a question all the fans will ask,
Who will take up the challenge, who's willing to take on the task.
Whoever it is must surely know when they listen to the fans roar,
It's time to start again and bring back the 'Dogs of War'!

You should have a look at his script for Indy.

And the way he wrote the script is even more impressive and awe inspiring.

he is our very own williams wordsworth.
