    Dissension in the Kennel?

    It was reported on 3AW tonight by Scoop Maclure that there are rumblings of discontent among certain senior players with Macca.

    it was reported that Will Minson walked out on his end of season review, he added that although this was denied by his manager, his sources within the bulldogs claim it to be true. When pressed further Maclure said other senior players are not happy with Macca either but did not say who or why.

    THere have been other murmurings of discontent online and on talkback. Wonder if it's a case of where there's smoke.....

    Just like a bloke aligned with a big club to start putting it out there during trade time that we have an unhappy camp....

    If anything, this just confirms that Higgins is talking to Carlton.

    McClure can get stuffed.

    This is the first I have heard of any discontent except for impatient supporters.. Not so sure Maclure has any idea.

    I think there was some belief that when Macca was first appointed he was too soft on the players. Given the season we had I'm hoping he is taking a harder line with the players. Obviously this needs to be done professionally but it can be confronting for anyone to have a boss demanding that you do more. I'm sure some players wont want to hear an improvement required assessment of their season.

    Sam Maclure, is a reporter on 3aw who has a regular spot on the Sports Tonight program with Gerard Healy and Dwayne Russell. His segment is breaking footy news, gossip & rumours.

    His Dad was respected journalist Geoff "Chook" Maclure who ran a column in the Age called 'Sporting Life' for many years and previously an editor with Sports Monthly magazine back in the 90's. I used to know Geoff & worked with him for a little while, but not Sam.

    Thanks Doc.

    What do you make of it all? Obviously something is going on, otherwise the SEN crew wouldn't have aske Garlcik a similar question in yesterday's interview.

    I don't make anything of it yet, but you have to wonder. I doubt they would just make it up. I think a lot of folk at the Bulldogs will be unhappy with the way the season ended and maybe venting some steam as they look for answers. it is kind of the opposite to last year when we finished well and were upbeat

    As for the Garlick interview I didn't hear that. But lets face it, you are not going to get much journalistic intellect from The Ox and his sidekick golf guru Mark Allen. if there was anything Garlick would easily sidestep these buffoons.

    I would love to hear Patrick smith interview Garlick however

    The SEN crew read out a few texts which had questions to Garlick.

    I am not liking this as I do think where there is smoke.

    I wonder if the op has anything to do with Wood not re-signing yet? And if he's going?

    FWIW, there are persistent rumours on BF that Talia wants out.

    Yep, that is my thoughts also.

    I have seen other snippets which make me also think trouble may be afoot.
