It's incredible the advancement using keyhole surgery. Back on your feet much sooner.

Sounds like bullet wounds are healing well :grinning:
Sure are.
3 of them almost complete heal.
2 are still kinda funky still.
Internally still bit sore but nothing I can't handle.
Back to work Monday.

Lol the thread wore well :grinning:

Been saying for several years, on here and other Dogs sites, that Gus was the ONLY hope we had of re-building as he was the ONLY league aficionado available with the biggest ego and reputation with Bulldog knowledge and Bulldog cred to be effective in deconstructing all the various factions and forces working against our success to path the way to harnessing all these factions into working with single purpose for the good of the club.

Success should drive out the troublemakers and make negatives irrelevant.
I thought there were 2 Gus & Bellamy. Bellamy could have certified legend status if he had taken the job & won, but he will get out whilst on top. The Bulldogs set him up well with Melbourne.

True also.

Bellamy couldn't have enough sway with the politics of the club tho probs.

I didn't hate him.
I recall when literally everyone else was sticking the boot in over the salary cap rort, Gus defended us.
He pointed out we didn't go over the cap by paying overs and buying talent.
That we developed our own talent and chose to pay them overs.
He pointed out our squad wasn't an over the cap level squad
That many of our players were being paid way overs their market value.

Gus defended us when no one else would.
The Hughes brothers were on double on what they would have been paid at another club. All we did was look after our own.

Please....EVERY Bulldog fan hated him in 2002-2004
True, but I don’t blame him.
When you get sacked as coach after your second year when you were a first year premiership winning coach for nepotism it’s a fairly natural response to go to a competitor and try to help them succeed.
