I can imagine reading that as a non-bulldogs fan and you would say, "Yeah that makes sense, this bloke has it figured out".
I find it completely a washed though from an invested Bulldog fan's perspective and pretty much just a click bait article. You have done yourself no service sir. You wrote it from a clinical stand point providing all the necessary excuses we have heard all season long and for the past 5 or 6 seasons. We played a good gritty game, I stood there while you guys faltered, I am better than you! The one thing you missed was what matters the most, it's the fans who make this sport as big as it is and without them we would still be in the park.
You have not taken one single point from what the fans have gone through following these events, just condemned them. I know for a fact that on here most of the criticisms have not been aimed at simply winning or losing but more the head space and effort that has been shown. We did it against Penrith, awesome. Most have known that we could do it all along and that is what we have been asking about. Regardless of our situation this team, club, coach and Board have underachieved and have not shown the values of what it is to be Bulldogs....and proud of it. It has been the self inflicted crap that has fired and lost fans. The fans largely aren't stupid and we knew/know that times were going to be hard but that does no excuse some of the idiotic decisions made especially this season with regards to the team selections and favourites.
Good for you sir, you put up an article turning on your fellow supporters, your famous. Anyone could have written that by copy, paste, rearrange from any of the 1000 articles in the last 5 years. We played a game (which I thoroughly enjoyed) showing what use to be the minimum expectation of our teams. I too hope we are on the up but I fully acknowledge our supporters and the mental torture our own club has self inflicted on it's own fanbase without apology. Our fan's, who are still around have followed and are still following considering all the BS and whatever stance they take is there own to decide and not for you to belittle from your glass house. Peace.
