Ask Des - "Isn't it the role of a coach to IMPROVE the game of every player ?Can we consolidate our best questions for Des?
Here are questions I would want answers to: -
Are you disappointed that key spine players have not developed and gelled in their roles? Like Lichaa and Mbye?
How did you try to get Kasino disciplined so he can realise more of his potential and play more minutes? And why do you think it failed?
How do you address poor discipline from individual players?
What skills training and mentoring have been applied to help Mbye develop his game and why do you think he is not responding?
Why is our kicking game consistently poor? What is the repeat set statistics for our club compared to the rest of the competition?
What are the top 5 things you are doing differently to change the lack lustre performances of the team?
Have you lost confidence in this year being a finals year for us? What reasons are you using to maintain your confidence?
Do you think attitude is contributing to incompetence for many of the players?
What questions would you ask? And can members of the kennel take the best questions that represent our core concerns for the past couple of years to that meeting?
If so then why under your coaching did Tony Williams fail to live up to the form he displayed at Manly while at the Dogs for 4 years. Did you take any action to rectify this - to adjust his game like you did when he was at Manly by going right back to the fundamentals like catching and passing, stance, running style etc ?
Why does Will Hopoate fail to play as well as he did under you at Manly.
Why does Michael Lichaa play poor under you when he was a junior star capable of scoring 3 tries a match (in Holden Cup game against the Dogs just before we signed him)
Why does Moses Mbye play worse under you ? He used to be capable of creating 3 tries a game before he was coached by you (Bulldogs trial game 2014 I think)
Why is Moses still incapable of decent attacking kicks, decent goalkicking skills, cut out passes etc - why does he not practice these enough ? Can we not afford a dedicated coach to teach these skills because of your salary or does he not have the time because your emphasis is on lifting weights and video sessions, etc ?
Why does Matt Frawley now play worse that when he first came into first grade (anything to do with your structures)
Why does Adam Elliott no longer score tries from running good lines (anything to do with your structures)
Why did you piss off Shaun Lane for poor attitude reportedly when Tony Williams was repeatedly selected for first grade despite stats like 5 runs and 9 tackles in 80 minutes, and Kas and Eastwood repeatedly selected despite being way overweight and unfit.
Have you lost the dressing room ? Why do even your half time sprays fail to motivate our players to perform. Remember in the semi against the Panthers last year. We were leading at half-time, the Channel 9 cameras showed you giving it to the players in the sheds at half time (prompting even the commentators to make comment) but in the second half our team collapsed.
Are you just with the Dogs for a paid holiday and to receive millions of dollars compensation / pay-back for that grand final loss to the Dogs as a Manly player in 1995 ?
Seems funny that the only 2 sides who have thrashed us this year (Manly and Penrith) were both teams you played for ????
Under you the Dogs are particularly poor performers at Belmore Oval. Are you trying to piss off Dogs supporters as much as possible ?
What did your mate Noel Cleal do for 5 years besides eat meat pies at games. Our juniors became so shit under him. He never signed anyone of note although there was a big headline about him as "the master recruiter" at the time signing Kerrod Holland. Wow he was centre of the year in the reserve grade team that year - I could have spotted him and sorry he's an average first grader at best who doesn't practice his goalkicking enough either obviously.
What's with the stats. How about looking at the ONLY stat that really means shit like the fact we have won what 5 of our last 17 games isn't it - and we would have lost 3 more if Frawley hadn't come in fresh at the start not playing to your restrictive dumb **** structures.
Why are you incapable of change or seeing the need for change. Do you actually have Aspergers ? If so, please take your pension retirement fund and hand over the reigns to someone else.
