All class.
Sad to hear him talk of the Bulldogs as "them", "they", instead of 'us'.

Re: Eade won't coach Dogs - Williams to take last 3 Games
Don't blame him one iota. It would be very uncomfortable, pointless, and most of all a feeding frenzy for media for the next 3 weeks. Imagine if he coached and we beat the Hawks (yeah I know, snowball's chance, but bear with me) then the media would be all over it like a bad rash, “Sacking premature”, etc.
I just hope I get the chance to shake his hand. I hope he coaches Melbourne so I can duck down to training for Melbourne one day next year and say my thanks.

There were a few “us”es, and he even kept coaching, talking about Port's forward line, etc.

True, I guess the others just stuck in my mind. Originally Posted by BornAScragger

I'll be doing just that - ten minutes from Casey Fields, I'll head down to say thanks if he goes there. Originally Posted by BornAScragger

I wouldn't think that would be the case. Originally Posted by comrade

Re: Eade won't coach Dogs - Williams to take last 3 Games
I agree, Rocket deserves our thanks for the effort he put in and the results the team achieved under him.
I can only echo the words of one of the little old ladies on the boundary fence, although she was talking about the sacking of Alan Joyce at the time.
"What a shame, he was a bloody gentleman he was". (High praise indeed coming from this group of supporters).
Well Rodney you too are a gentleman and I for one was proud of the way you represented the club during your years as coach.
Thanks Rocket.
