News Bulldogs look to youth in 2020

None of those are great achievements.

You’re hard to please mate
Can you suggest alternative people, strategies and outcomes that would’ve landed us in a significantly better place?

No I can't, all I can do is make observations on what has and is going on and make a judgement. They've been slow and have done nothing out of the ordinary.

The members said they couldn’t when we voted them out. They were the ones that fucked up remember so zero faith for them to fix it.

You need to remember there needed to be a clean out of Hasler’s, Castle’s & Dib’s staff and friends. The election was only weeks before the season started. What organisation sacks everyone in one hit and who do you replace them with overnight? What specialist coaching are you referring to that weren’t there last year?

Fair enough they got voted out for messing up, but what the members think isn't always right and it's entirely possible they could've cleaned the mess they created.

Again with the excuses. They've been here for years and we're the fucking Bulldogs, shit needs to get done quick smart. Clubs have gutted and replace numerous staff far quicker than this, this lot simply haven't been anywhere near aggressive enough do get things done, and even when things do get done it's just a mate getting a job or someone else getting a new role.

Specialist coaching? Halves with shifty, backs with AFL, etc. These were things that needed to be addressed from the get go, not slowly introduced over years.

Shifty was there last year. Don’t forget we also had to pay Hasler out. You can’t flick all the staff under contract and pay them out

Natboy - 2022 be patient

Money is the main issue. I know I sound like a broken record but people are still overlooking that. Hardly anyone has signed for another club for 2021 and not 2020 and there are 15 other clubs. Be patient

Feel free to quote me in 2022 mate. It’s January 2020 now

He was barely there last season, was he even there for preseason? Also if he never replayed for the dogs would he have the role? Just curious. Everyone hired these days seems to be an ex dog or a mate.

Well it’s good you can admit that you don’t have alternative suggestions - most taking the same view avoid the question.

The fact is board work is largely in the background, unglamorous and very much thankless. I know first hand and I also know you can never please everyone no matter what you do.

Part of the problem with a footy club is it’s high profile, you’ve got a large base taking an ‘interest’ and having a view, regardless that they are largely not armed with the facts.

Anyway, we’ll soon enough see the outcomes and hopefully all of us as Bulldog fans will have something good to say.

I don’t see that as a bad thing, especially after trying to bring Manly into our club ended in tears in so many ways.
Shifty wasn’t available as much as the club wanted for personal reasons

I don’t see why using Canterbury former players is such a bad thing? Much rather that than a bunch of Manly, Parra who even worse any Rorter players getting gigs with us. Happy for expertise to come from OS or other sports like Union or even Mario ball if they have something to improve us.

 

[Teddybear]

There massive, just ask the party horn blowers on here.
Your right, most would just take it in their stride,but maybe it seriously is a massive achievement for this lot.
You hit the nail on the head, they are not aggressive enough.
Rome wasn't built in a day, but i have met committed and aggressive individuals in my time who could build it in 3.
Snails pace this lot

Who give a shit, the right person for the job is the right person for the job, having a connection to the club should carry that much weight in decision making.

The Hasler thing is a stupid argument imo, the mess up was Hasler gambling on the game heading a certain direction and failing to admit his mistake when it was clear it wasn't going to happen, the club also overcommited and made matter worse. How the fuck someone like Grimaldi is still at the club is absolutely beyond me.

 

[Teddybear]

I think i read somewhere he was doing off his own bat, so no time, until they started paying him recently, i am sure he would have been more available last year if they paid the bloke

Should only sign Chinese people from now on, too many whites and islanders at clubs like Parra, Roosters, etc.

That’s not what he told me

We didn’t just bring in Hasler though did we? You mentioned other clubs have done a complete clean out faster than us. Which clubs?

We literally did it when we brought Hasler over, don't need to look any further than that.

That was part of the problem with doing things so quickly though. It ended in disaster

That was absolutely not the problem, bloody hell. Okay Roosters 2013, oh but I already know your reply will be something something Roosters are cheats.

I know you’ve defended Hasler and his entourage but I will always disagree with you there. I don’t remember what staff the roosters sacked in one go. If only we had their money and contacts hey
