How did Barrett let Foz go and replace him with Flanagan of all players? It is criminal.
He could have less pressure on him with Burton. This is the problem, quality players leave us Bulldogs and shine.Foran not doing a great deal tbh... He's just doing a simple role while Schuster and Tommy T are the real attacking threats on that left edge
He has stepped it up when Turbo & Cherry Evans have been out..Foran not doing a great deal tbh... He's just doing a simple role while Schuster and Tommy T are the real attacking threats on that left edge
There is no need for that rubbish.Hindsight is 20/20 and OP is a dumb ****
You got your wish.Do you forget the 3 years he played with us?
He was injured for the first 2, then didn’t want to injure himself in the 3rd year so he didn’t play that well.
I wouldn’t have taken him for any amount of money.
You are half correct.Foran was offered a one year deal, he wanted more so he followed daddy des to Manly (after promising to repay our club for all they did for him and his lack of footy played).
We didn't release Foran to sign Flanno, we signed Blake Green in between all of that. If Blake Green plays one year for us we probably never sign Flanno.
Like he did for the Bulldogs. He was a liability for our club. 12 months more would’ve been more pain for us. Everyone has an opinion, and I personally feel the Club and Foran needed to part ways. Somehow he seems to have got through Manly without too many injuries so far.Give him time will break a toenail and injure himself
I vividly remember that.I was a huge advocate for resigning Foran. So many absolute fuck heads cut me down when I said we should re sign him. If anyone remembers -I put up ten thousand bucks as a bet that the Dogs would finish behind Manly. As you’d expect all the gutless pricks on here didn’t want a bar of it even though they ridiculed me and I’m about a million times smarter than them all combined.
Not signing Foran was a monumental fuck up and if we couldn’t have got the deal done-then everyone in the club should be exiled never to return. Would have been one hell of an easy negotiation.
As for Dickovich, he just seems like a grade A dick head who knows SFA, so best to ignore people that have no idea about probably anything in life if his football smarts are anything to go by.
Thanks for the info mate. I must admit if I was looking at the previous 3 years I wouldn’t be comfortable with signing him for any longer than 1 year but interesting that Barrett showed no interest at all. I don’t know what next year will look like in terms of who partners Burton.You are half correct.
The club did sign Green
However the club withdrew the 1 year offer as soon as Barrett was appointed coach for 2021.
It was no coincidence.
It's true Foran's management did ask for two years. If the club had keep the negotiations open highly likely Foran would have agreed to a similar deal he struck with Manly.
Foran was injured a lot.
But I still think it was a ridiculous bad call by Barrett.
And if you remember at the time Foran was one of the few players Barrett never called.
It was 100% Barrett's call however.
That's the million dollar question? I have no idea.Thanks for the info mate. I must admit if I was looking at the previous 3 years I wouldn’t be comfortable with signing him for any longer than 1 year but interesting that Barrett showed no interest at all. I don’t know what next year will look like in terms of who partners Burton.
