I’m confident most Bulldogs voting members know the score leading up to February’s election of football club directors but since we have a few agitators on here like @04 Dreaming, @Polly Power, @Flanagun and some others I thought it would be useful to provide some non confidential insight into some things going on behind the scenes to strengthen the Dogs future.

Last night Ciraldo and Burton attended the St. Gregory’s Sports Dinner - neither of them are old boys and you’d think being in Campbelltown St. Greg’s would be Tigertown. Apparently they’ve been snubbed by the dysfunctional lot from Concord in favour of Eaglevale High School who have their sights set on being a sports high school. Subsequently St. Greg’s, as most know being a long time nursery of RL talent are favouring the Bulldogs for their students to lean towards. It’s also happening at some other clubs in SW Sydney such as around Menai. Gus is pushing the Bulldog boundary all the way to the Shire to get the best new talent from Sydney along with areas we know about including Northern NSW, Kingsland and NZ.

I know we’re all starved of success for our NRL team - it’s been years and we all want better. But to disrupt the momentum again would be taking a step back that could cost even more years to see success. We’re yet to see if a rival ticket even surfaces for the election but not only do I think the incumbents are safe with the investment in the CoE, two lower grade premierships in 2023, a waiting list to join our kit sponsorship and gradual improvement of our NRL squad, it would take a rabbit out of a hat for me to vote for anyone else.

Stay strong Dogs fans - better times are ahead.

Don’t tag me in your Pom-pom waving bull shot, Fam. Tigers have a great junior catchment, and look how far it’s getting them. Our pathways are already pretty strong, as evidenced by the success we’ve had in lower grades… success we were enjoying long before Gus was here. It’s not going to translate t to I too grade success so long as our development programs, systems and the way we treat young talent remain this bad.

Take no prisoners Doogs! :-).
What I should’ve said was ‘From the SW through to Menai’. And yes, from what I understand Aquinas are another club favouring the Dogs through strengthened relationships. Endeavour would be Shark territory.

Getting nothing from Aquinas except maybe a decent accountant. All the sports kids down here go to Endeavour until they get the shits and then off to St. Pats.

Maybe so far - but it’s good to see the relationships strengthened regardless and that the Dogs are viewed favourably in areas where you’d think other clubs would have an advantage. We won’t get ‘em all, but we might just get the next Jackson or Finucane.

Damn, that was salty.

Guess the truth doesn't gel with your rhetoric.

You give these morons more credit than they deserve. They don’t even vote let alone have the ability to try and influence an election [emoji23]

You are one pathetic short sighted excuse of a fan . Results in juniors is not a form of success when it comes to development of 1st graders. That’s is very narrow sighted. Tell me at what year do you think the club started to fail ?
