    Former Bulldog Libby Birch revealed as subject of ex-Bulldogs coach Paul Groves’ cryptic tweet

    You didn’t have to be Inspector Clouseau to join the dots.

    A minute after Channel 7 ran a feature interview during the halftime break of Friday night’s Western Bulldogs-Melbourne game, a tweet which rocked the AFLW world was posted.

    We’re tipping former Western Bulldogs premiership coach Paul Groves was on his couch at home enjoying a nice bottle of red wine when he saw the interview.

    It clearly hit a nerve with Groves deciding to drop this bomb on Twitter: “Most selfish player I’ve ever coached. Ungrateful. Cracks were caused by said person. You play footy to create friendships. Shame.”

    Understandably the tweet caused quite a stir among Bulldogs officials whose first thoughts were that he was aiming at someone at the Whitten Oval, given he’d made a shock exit from the club last year for “family reasons”.

    The detectives on social media went into meltdown as they tried to work out the identity before it became very clear who the former Dogs coach was taking aim at.

    Libby Birch was the subject of the halftime interview, given she’d crossed over to the Demons this year after three seasons at the Dogs.

    Birch is understood to be disappointed and hurt by the actions of her former coach.

    She had been a mainstay of the Bulldogs line-up, gaining a premiership medal in 2018 and not missing a game for three years.

    In the interview, Birch took a swipe at her old club suggesting that “cracks were appearing” and that she had “needed to go somewhere where I could challenge myself”.

    She also said she no longer felt like she belonged at the Kennel.


    This was clearly too much for Groves to digest, although he did take down the tweet from his protected account after 10 minutes.

    By then, though, plenty of eyes had already seen it.

    Groves, who was the inaugural Dogs coach, quit in June after three seasons.

    Yearly reminder that Carlton went out of their way specifically not to endorse the Yes vote.

    I've never had a migraine but looking at our jumper just may induce one.

    We've pulled back into the contest now but we aren't playing good football. Conditions are near perfect and another bumper crowd has turned up.

    Well we need to contain the Blues this quarter and then make the most of the wind in the last.

    Blackburn was quite today basically poor for her standards.
    McLeod's run was brilliant and to get a goal moments later was great play.

    We are a long way off the mark at the moment. Our skill level lets us down every game

    Recruits Hannah Munyard, Britney Gutknecht and Ash Guest will make their red, white, and blue debuts on Saturday when the Bulldogs face expansion club West Coast at Leederville Oval.

    Munyard, a two-time SANFLW South Adelaide premiership player, Gutknecht, a member of the 2019 Northern Knights premiership side, and Guest, a former Dee and Giant, will all start on the bench.

    They replace Angelica Gogos (knee), Deanna Berry (concussion) and vice-captain Brooke Lochland (quad) in the line-up who will miss through injuries.

    Both the Bulldogs and Eagles will enter Saturday’s clash on the back of losses, with the Eagles yet to record their maiden AFLW win.

    The match will also be leader Kirsty Lamb’s 25th AFLW appearance.

    The game will be televised live on 7mate and Fox Footy from 7pm AEDT, with the first bounce at 7.10pm AEDT (4.10pm AWST) at Leederville Oval.

    I think the girls are likely to give West Coast their 1st win.

    Travelling is a problem with only Adelaide and Brisbane having recorded an interstate victory. Both, interestingly, recorded against Geelong at Geelong.

    This is West Coast's 1st hosting of an interstate team.
