This administration has a lot to answer to! We the fans deserve better than what's been dished out for the past 5 weeks!
Yes we don't have the players that other teams have, but this club was never successful because we had the best roster in the comp, it was built on passion, commitment and pride in the jersey, none of these were on show tonight! What was on show was how much we're lacking in those departments. Canberra are in a similar position as us, yet tonight they beat us in all of those categories, which included losing players throughout the game and making their final interchange with 20 minutes to go!
Mental and psychological challenges were never an issue at this club, and I mean NEVER!!! Come 2018, and these are the primary factors we are lacking! Reading posts such as, "not even Bellamy or Bennett would be able to save this team", which I agree with, but do you think the players would be having issues turning up with the right attitude if they were coached by Bellamy or Bennett?? I think not!
We have all these motivational posters around the club that were developed to boost the players mentally, motivate them, show them the proud history that the bulldogs have achieved, a daily reminder, obviously it's not working! What we're suffering doesn't just relate or is limited to the players only, this is an organisational issue that stems from the top down!
Steve Mortimer is the Bulldogs, and whilst he is still around he needs to be involved within the club in high capacity role! The current administration needs to get off their high horse, apologies to the greatest bulldog ever born, and bring him to where he belongs, to help fix what has the potential to be the beginning of the bulldogs worst era of the 21st century!
