I'm trying to say this with a straight face but how well have the Anderson's ticket gone so far.
Are they the mob to carry us from the ruins with their 9 pillars for suxcess

"we love the Anderson's gobble, gobble slurp slurp"
The OP like a few on here has an agenda but if you are looking at it in this way it should be viewed more like a mid year report card even though we are 3 years into 4. 2021 was THE year we were all told we would once again be competitive so with pre-season 10 weeks away the pressure is on.
Pillars 1, 4, 6 , 7, 8 and 9 are the main ones that need to targeted, pillars 2, 3 and 5 should be a given;
1. Engage with members and fans.
3 years on there has been some progress with forums etc but compared to other top clubs and organizations in other professional sports we are miles behind and this should be given some priority moving forward. The Kennel makes more upgrades and changes to its website (good or bad) than the bloody club does. Less fluff and more meat is needed with all communications.
4. Become a once again best practice organization.
Some governance and management structures have changed but still well short of the "Best Practice Organization" call.
6. Develop our people
Hard to say with some many staff being turned over and poor on field performance.
7. Develop a strategic plan.
This is my bugbear as I dont believe there has ever been one other than bring back the DNA and support our Juniors, both are good things but should be results from a well planned, targeted and implemented strategy that everything in the last 3 years should have been directed from with all parties in on it and reading from the same page. It should be a work place employee handbook for all to acknowledge, and not a secret document...
8. Focus on our Junior League
This is starting to happen and we should see good things ti the next 3-5 years develop from it.
9. Bring respect back to our club
While ever we have off- field Port Macquarie/Mad Monday bullshit, boards and factions ripping each other apart, Chairman under investigation, and rubbish on field results we will never get respect back. It needs to be earnt.
So if reading like a half yearly report I would say out of ten its a 5 but a wobbly 5 and that the next 9 months there needs to be some serious and noticeable improvements in team performance on and off the field with us at the half way mark in 2021 at least on the end of the 8 or just outside.
A stable board and management with strong and regular communication to fans, members and sponsors and improved media presence and not just fluff story's.
A stronger roster and a happy playing group, and the return of players from other clubs wanting to play for the Bulldogs again.
The question is and will be, can this current board survive and also deliver the above in that time frame?? It will need to be PRO ACTIVE like never before and not reactive like the last 3 years..
