Fuck off dumb ****
CRACKing response David :D.

Give it to him davy boy. Any **** older than 10 would be over the shit surely
Any **** older than 10 wouldn't try to fight someone in real life over comments made on an internet forum too... but hey ... I hear it happens!

;)

Another item that came up: the future of Belmore. No specifics but the local council are in discussions regarding the future of Peter Moore Field, Terry Lamb Reserve (either side of BSG) and there’s some talk of the future of the bowlo next door too, tied in with the conversion of the train line to metro by 2024. Don’t know that there’s anything significant on the cards but Hilly did say that they are working towards ‘what’s next’ in terms of the high performance centre so they don’t ‘fall behind’ in years to come given that the Dogs were well ahead of other clubs when we built ours in 2011 but several other clubs have or are developing them now. He did endorse the ANZ re-dev plans and since I’m a member there too I do have to say the plans look impressive, so I think the Dogs are committed to ANZ for quite a while yet...
Hate to say it but I honestly think the longterm plan for that land will be knockdown and apartments to the highest bidding developer.

Councils love their developer kickbacks these days.

Spoke to Meaney - he and Reimis are swapping sides so working together quite a lot on that right now.

Q&A about to start...
Awesome stuff hope he's moving Hoppa to that edge with him though...

I'm guessing that's why we signed guys like Biondo etc to fast track this a bit. Basically to knock a little time off the process of having players we've had a hand in developing progressing into the top 17. We already have seen a few players get chances. Ogden, Too'omaga Wakeham Okunbor etc all got a taste of NRL. We recruited a few good young players too in CHN, DWZ Cogger etc. We'll have to wait and see how Stimson Britt and Katoa factor in next years team. But it's easier to criticize if you leave out those details.

The long term goals are different to what they're doing now. We all want to see the team have success and we're entitled to be critical. But I'd encourage you and others to apply a bit of a wider point of view.
Agree - and - a number of players are off contract at the end of 2020. Some will be retained, others won’t be. That’s a work in progress and they won’t say much about this until well into 2020.

On that note, interesting absentees tonight: Tolman and Elliott - part of the leadership team... Might be nothing in it, but all players are back training now...

No but realistically they served up the same rubbish as start of last 2 seasons. Full of secrets big promises and chinese whispers of absolute hot air. Lol fuck me im worried about these clowns
What promises?
What Chinese whispers?
If you’re worried you have two choices - continue to rant on a forum or join the footy club and vote. You won’t be able to vote in Feb 2020, but you can by Feb 2022 if you’re unhappy with the direction. Additional membership from true Bulldogs is always welcomed...

Cheers for the updates tonight.. much appreciated for those of us that couldn't make it out there.

All we can do as fans is hope that the board make the right decisions on and off the field, I'm past getting all worked up over it (because it amounts to nothing anyway).

If anything it'll be interesting to see the direction we take in the future, and they have 2020/2021 to really get things happening, given the constant talk of 2021 being when we will be "in the clear".

Good stuff DD !!
Absolutely agree on the media strategy and have always believed it. It’s a work in progress it’s clear to see - and they are deliberately not saying stuff publicly until they’re ready. So those scribes who need to fill their column inches will write whatever they want. As Hilly said and in Donald Trump terms: ‘fake news’.

Thanks for the thread/updates. I really hope they get everything right. Actions speak louder than words so we're just going to have to wait and see.

Thanks for the updates Mr Dog,
I couldn’t make it due to work commitments but was reading up all night.
You are like the old union secretary taking the minutes of the meeting.
A very honest and unbiased overview mate.
Fantastic work.
