      I'm going Saturday, looking forward to it - although not nearly as much as I'm looking forward to beating the Crowbots!
      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          I think simply having Bont in our team will guarantee a few Friday night games next year. That's my silly theory anyway.

            Just read the fixture and was amazed, Melbourne, Richmond and the Saints all get a Friday game prior to us.
            I realise we were at the bottom of the pecking order on the previous years form but we have achieved a lot more than two of the sides and are just a step behind the other.
            They talk about equality but it is just getting so much worse.
            It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

              Look at the membership ladder and factor in the style of play we were putting up with under Macca. No wonder we get no love.

                Absolutely, the way we played last year, the grinding force a stoppage tactics, no wonder we can't get decent billing this year.

                  I love the Dogs and I didn't even want to watch us.

                    I must admit a little part of the supporter in me died watching us the last couple of years.

                      It was tough watching that rubbish played. It was worse than under Rhode.

                        Lot of crap been thrown at McCartney on here ( yes he had his faults )
                        But the best aspect he brought to the table was the players hunting the ball.

                          Talk about flog a dead horse . McCartney left one legacy and Rohde with a better more experienced list left no legacy .

                            He had them playing footy at the end of 2013 no doubt.
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                              Was discussion this coach centric after we let go of Rhode? I mean seriously, surely it's time we let bygones be bygones, Eade is still a regular discussion point nearly half a decade later! I shudder to think we'll still be talking about Macca in 2019. The bloke developed some good kids, instilled a drafting culture that will bring success and laid the platform for a competitive brand of footy. That's enough for me.
