Please define a true bulldogs team? I thought the bulldogs were a team that were always at the top of the game.... Last time I checked we weren't called the Parramatta bulldogs winning wooden spoons.

And I might not have 50 yrs of Bulldog blood in me but I have enough to know our forwards dont all look like Sonny Bill Wiliiams.

Robert Relf
Barry Ward
Darren Brit
Dean Pay
Jim Dymock
Brohman
Bella
Mason
Omeley

And that's just off the top of my head.

And that Manly mole has almost won u a couple of premierships.
Almost is not the same as winning a grandfinal sorry bro but that's how I feel.

You are right mate. You are a real Bulldogs supporter, the rest of us are fake. But before you talk about what the club based its foundations on, maybe go back in time and tell me if they are still the same foundations bullfrog set. But as long as your enjoying your time as a "real" supporter, you shouldn't be worried as the current management share the same views as you do. Enjoy making the top 8, because that's what the current "real" supporter and money minded management consider success, because that's about all you got to celebrate about in the coming years.
Because I never watched a bulldogs game or saw how the club was run 20 yrs ago hey. Obviously things changed, as time changes all things but to what extent i guess depends on ones perception. Did u ever consider that maybe if the club didn't take a new direction the club would have gone bankrupt? Did u ever consider the fact no other Sydney team besides the rorters are finically stable?

And once again if u think whining and whinging because we aren't winning every game in style aint bulldog than maybe u should go back and recap past dogs seasons because I can remember many years where we were just as sluggish and far less impressive.

Your a hard one to impress bro.. I agree we have been waiting a long time to feel success and we are overdue but sometimes shit just dont work out. Like playing Melbourne who were hungry for redemption and a South Sydney side hell bent on winning on winning their first in 43 years wasn't in the script.

Our club would never go bankrupt even if you were in charge. The leagues club is to powerful, and the brand is very marketable.

Blind loyalty is stupidity.
Bro u think I cant see were playing half arsed footy. You think its not frustrating watching your team play footy like its a game of pool and poker. The difference is I can have faith until the end and at least acknowledge we don't have million dollar players and immortals directing our team around. I dont sit here thinkin we can throw the bank at such players and when we cant we sit here and bitch about it.

Bro that's always a worry but if we win I personally dont care if we play this footy because if it works till the end then i guarantee every team will be doing it next yr which is probably why the NRL is trying to drop the interchange rule by stopping this footy from happening.

If it doesn't than I'm sure Hasler will change things just like he changed after 2012 because it became an old and unreliable game plan.

He hasn't changed it since 2013 I wish we can play like 2012

Its been building since 2014 and we made the GF that yr. 2015 was rubbish and 2016 looks weird and confusing as hell.

2012 footy? You need Barba for that, look at the sharks.

Des and Raelene are safe whilever we have suporters who feel close enough is good enough.

I have no idea why people want to force me to feel a certain way.

If you're happy with what's being dished up good luck to you but don't tell others they're not good suporters or that we should ignore the clear shortcomings of the club.

If we didn't love the club we wouldn't feel disappointed about things.

So what Happened to the Bulldog supporter? I'll tell you what happened, they turned into a Chihuahua

For a while now I have been reading the opinions and suggestions of many of you "supporters", "fans", "clubmen/women" or whatever you choose to call yourself. During that time I have been wrestling with the fact that nothing comes good from you other than negativity.

The bulldogs club both on field and off is one of the strongest and has been for a long time. We are a club that prides itself on being supportive towards each other through thick and thin but recently it has come to the stage where if we are not number 1 and doing it with flying colours than its not good enough. Where this culture has come from is beyond me.

People here tend to think just because they like the Bulldogs they can say whatever they want regardless of its consequences. Its not right! People here suggest they know everything about the club when there are several closed doors between them and the word that was spoken. They think they know how to run a club as if they are veteran CEO's. They also tend to think they're coaches and know every single player and everything about them. The worst thing of all is the fact they make comment on certain issues when it is bleatingly obvious they have never played a team sport in their life.

For example this whole Hasler issue. We have played 2 GF in 4 years and are looking for a 3rd. You must be insane not to support that coach and you must have issues to think we should be the best team in the comp playing with a rookie hooker, Half and a make shift fullback. The fact we are even up there is outstanding. Hasler is an innovative coach who constantly changes the way the game is played and most of the time he either wins the competition or comes close. He is a top coach and will probably be better than Wayne Bitchnet when his done and that's without having an immortal or two in his side. Once again don't underestimate the coach that has taken to 2 GF in 4 years and isn't far from making a 3rd.

Then come the comments about game plan and structures. I will just say this, you are not coaches and you don't win a poker game by showing everyone your cards. In 2012 our cards were laid out on the table and we all know what happened then.

In saying all that the worst part is and I've said this once already but ill say it again that there are people here worse than a gang of angry bi polar feminists on their period. If we win you agree with Hasler like he made you cum 62 times and when we Lose they turn into a scorned whore. I hope most of you realise you look like idiots and hypocrites when u do it and it would be embarrassing to see what u would do if u supported a shambles of a team like a Knights or a Parra or any other team that struggles to pay the bills or even make the top 8. When it gets to that point then by all means Scream at the top of your lungs!

My point on this issue is STICK BY YOUR COACH< which YOUR CLUB chose to lead because you have every reason too.

As for the CEO, I'm sure Peter Moore ( for those old enough to know who he is ) would be impressed with Raelene. She keeps the club clean, puts the image of the club first which in return brings in larger financial returns which then enables us to stay a strong team. Wealth brings power, just ask uncle Nick.

I will end by saying this, its time to start supporting YOUR CLUB and be a TRUE SUPPORTER by trusting and having faith and stop bitching about everything or having hormonal swings every time we lose pointing fingers and playing the blame game. That is primary school shit seriously.

We are bulldogs and we keep our heads held high and keep moving forward not Whinge and Whine like its 40 degrees and the air con is broken. We are about to hit the business end of the season and this is when the dogs play their best footy so until we get knocked out lets let the club do their thing and let everyone support in peace rather than getting ear fcuked by negativity.

So don't be a Chihuahua, be a BULLDOG!
Thanks for your feedback

I still think we can win the comp this year. The dragons did it in 2010 and they were very boring to watch. We are an awkward side to contain even though we are predictable. We must avoid the Sharks and Raiders in week 3.

Some supporter's definition of a 'supporter' isn't limited to being a cheer squad for everything the club/coach does.

Where's the incentive for success if all your members and fans accept and agree to everything?
There's always a limit in support, nobody is saying we bow down and praise just dont bark at everything that goes by.

So what are you saying... You happy that we don't have immortals and million dollar players. Or your happy that we sent throwing that sort of money at them?
Plus I always like to look to the future. Are you happy with the direction the club is at with the junior levels? We once had stars coming through the ranks like water. What's happened now?

We better go close or I will definitely be hating on Hasler's tactics too as it obviously didn't work.

Believe me or not I only care about effort bro. Win or lose I want them to play like Bulldogs. Show us that they care and actually want to win.

I can honestly say I haven't seen effort for a while now.
