Since Hasler has been here 2012, this 2017 squad is the weakest to date, while the majority of the other teams have strengthened their squads year in year out and have adapted to the rule and interchange changes better.

Definitely not expecting a top 8 spot, but would love to see Tolman & Graham fuck off from first receiver, No Tolman on the fourth, Abbey given a chance at 1 since the other two options are broken on the sideline and at church, Lichaa not falling forward over his own feet, no eastwood on the left edge and a grubber into the in goal atleast once in 3 games.

Thats Canterbury, great culture, plenty of fight and desire, we want the 2017 side to watch the 1980 GF and see who's jersey's they are wearing.
That prob won't work... Tolmn in 13, liccha in 12, graham in 11, Jackson in 10, Eastwood 9, klem 8 (this one works ;))...

Today on the Bulldogs web page Jimmy dymock has declared that the dogs are working on
1. new structure in offence
2. new look team
3. high fitness level
Adding to that he quoted we have tinkered with the offence a little bit.
Could that mean
1. M. Mbye
6. J. Reynolds
7. J. Cleeland/M. Frawley
12. J. Morris
or
1. B. Abbey
6. M. Mbye
7. J. Reynolds
12. J. Morris
Your thoughts ?

if all the other teams get caught cheating the salary cap by millions we may make the semis

This is exactly right and why the Dogs will not make the 8 this year.

We can make the 8 if changes are made off the field as well as on the field, young men need to be properly prepared for war and not subjected to disheartening elements, you cannot allow their determination to be affected by treachery, they must be mentally prepared each week, a coach is also a sports psychologist.

Do any of you actually no des or just like bad mouthing him cause it makes you feel better???
So the anti Des brigade...including Turvey who thought because of the coach we had lost what we had formerly stood for and thereby had lost our DNA just talk because it makes us feel better? Your a gee up surely. All we want, and we STILL HAVENT yet seen it is DES to take responsibility for our atrocious end to the last 2 seasons...our ineptitude in defence and inability to score points, our lack of leadership in the halves and lack of an offensive structure.

OWN it DES...YOU fucked up bigtime. YOU need to fix it. ADMIT IT..........

I contrast Des to Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold. In the most refreshing interview id ever heard, Arnold explained on radio last night that HIS performance in 2015 WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. He said he went away before the current season and rethought every strategic decision....he rethought the roster, training, game structure, fitness levels, tactics, the development program, the use of the salary cap, how he communicated with players and the media...in short EVERYTHING. Is it a fluke that Sydney FC are travelling so well this year? Of course its no fluke.

2016 was unacceptable Des.

totally agree.

The team needs to play together as one force .. We could have the best halfback and fullback and hooker in the world but if the players aren't on the same page then its pointless. On the other hand we could have an average halfback , average fullback and average hooker ( yes average hooker ) yet smash teams off the park re 2012/ 2014 bulldogs.

The key is unity , Ennis brought unity to the team..

Ennis also brought unity to the sharks .

Mbye is the key. He was a major disappointment in the back half of 2016. If he can find some consistency the dogs will be a force again.

That was Canterbury. Under this leadership group PC BS and community programs are more important then football. Hopefully with what's happened in the last few months they've got the message that we want the old culture back.
