    I'm staying put: Eade

    I'm staying put: Eade

    WESTERN Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade says he will not walk away from the club before the end of the season if its fortunes fail to turn around.

    Former club champion Chris Grant, who played 341 games for the Dogs between 1990 and 2007, suggested Eade might consider resigning ahead of his contract's expiration at season's end as he was "very, very honest with himself".

    But Eade, whose team has won just three matches in his seventh season at Whitten Oval, says he isn't going anywhere voluntarily.

    "No, I'm going to stick through," he said on Thursday.

    "If the club think it's better that way and I get a tap on the shoulder, well, you do what's best for the club, but from my point of view, I'm going [to be] here for the long haul and I want to stick through."

    Great to see Rodney has gone on the front foot, this is a positive in at least we know he wants to be here and obviously he doesnt feel the players are losing him either.

    Rocket and Ward both positive this week. Good to see some solidarity.

    Only thing I didn't like about the Ward article was he basically said we needed to slow down our ball movement. Weeks after the captain had said the opposite after the Richmond game.

    Suggests a change of game plan mid-season which never ends well.

    Eade won't be at the club next year, no matter what he comes up with.

    I wouldn't put money on it. He's still a great candidate

    Would you have him back next year or would it depend on who else is available?

    I don't like him mentioning the fact that Adam is in constant pain.
    Matthew Scarlet, Baker, and others will be making a note of that one.

    If he did get his marching orders, it would be a disappointing end to a coach who I think has been very good for us and visa versa

    I agree with you on the sentiment, but anybody with two eyeballs in working order can see the bloke's playing in a lot of pain.
