Michael Potter announced as interim Head Coach of the Bulldogs...

[Bazildog]

Plenty of work to be done and trash to be put out before the real coach officially comes in.

If I was that coach I would want to involved in all of that.

 

[Bazildog]

TBH i dont think a new coach would want to come in now, they would want a full offseason and players. Potter will do a good job

I tipped Mick to get the interim and I am sure he will do good. But to be fair to him he should be given some time (5-10 games) to show what he has so maybe we dont look elsewhere at all?

How do you know "whoever" the coach is hasn't started working with Gus already?

Let's be honest, Gus has picked the coach about 3-4 weeks ago.

Some rats jumping/booted off ship can prove that.

thats a possibility but i think if all goes well, he will be added next years like hannay was at the sharks

My only problem I see is that he knows he is temporary.

If he is smart he should go hard to find a head coach job at another club that will be booting their coach this year too.

The most he can hope for is an assistant with us.

Quality comment from him, says a fair bit about him as a person:

"I'm very honoured to be back at the Bulldogs. I wish it were under different circumstances as I've known Trent for a long time and I really feel for him.

Better option than the Barrett look alike or Furner. Hopefully he makes sensible team selections, all the very best to him, now to dodge the spoon.

Not an ideal time to step into the role, but I don't think there's much chance we go downhill from here.

Potter's job is just to take the heat while Gus works in the background, I'm happy with that.

Probably only mission is to finish 15th or higher to avoid the spoon.

If he replaces the duds at 7 and 9 the odds are in his favour to avoid the spoon.

I really believe he will just play the role as coach for the public and Gus will be pulling the strings.

I know JJ has come out and said they are aiming for finals still but the main aim of 2022 is getting ready for 2023.

I really want the permanent coach to be appointed soon. It will give us something to look forward to even though it will probably be for next year. Seems like every year we’re looking forward to a change so hopefully it’s for real this time and we’ve turned the corner.

I don't care when we find out, I just hope the players know for stability.

My view is that this was planned early this year and the roosters game was the lynch pin.

 

[DaBulldog]

Surely Furner goes now? He was never the assistant coach that Bulldog needed. Bulldog needed assistant that was energetic, high attention to detail, innovative thinker, etc. This guy is none of these things, he is just "steady as she goes" .....

He’ll be gone by the end of the year. The new coach will want to bring in there own staff.

 

[Scoooby]

Good to see what he can do… get to See a different style of footy, and the boys get to try some new tricks, relax and have some fun.. More than We’ve all had of late thats for damn sure. !!

 

[The DoggFather]

Ok so what's the Kennels nickname for him?

My suggestion is Harry.

How much more worse would it look on Barrett if Potter strings a few wins together first up
