Who would you have JMac target this year?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

The CEO is out the door too?

I have read this a few times but where has it been reported?

BTW, he is not out the door, that sounds like a sacking. It is acknowledged at the club, Gary has done a fantastic job to stabilise the role. Gary was a board member who stepped into the role after a couple of disasters.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Seems Bevo has bought in a few mates from his amatuer days over time , are they up to AFL standard and Have experience of the pressure involved?
I wasn't keen on us changing things after the premiership , the old saying don't change what isn't broken.
Does anyone know why Montgomery went?
He was very solid for us for years in all his roles.
We also had Stephenson moved on.
Garlick went suddenly.
Whats happening with Dalrymple and JMac?
If you actually look at our past three years there has been an issue ever year with someone .

* The only person I believe Bevo brought over was the women's coach.

* At the time it was reported Montgomery was chasing a senior coaching position, but who knows.

There are issues at every club with personnel, just like any wrk place. Let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Wasnt the VFL coach one of his old mates and I believe he bought in one of the boys from the amatuer team that plays in a band to some role as well.

Well looks like we have another disaster on our hands so it hasn't stabilised long term. And now he is leaving ?

The VFL coach came from Collingwood and was previously with Freo.

STEVE GRACE - SENIOR VFL COACHSteve Grace joined the Western Bulldogs at the conclusion of the 2016 season, recruited to take on the role of Senior VFL Coach for the 2017 season.


Arriving from the Collingwood Football Club, Grace previously filled a number of development coaching positions at Fremantle Football Club from 2011 to 2013 before moving to the Holden Centre in 2014 as Defence Development Coach, and then Assistant Coach – Forwards in 2015 and 2016.

The easy solution is to stop listening to rumours. Discipline is important in what you choose to believe ledge.

The sky won't fall in. We'll be fine.

He'd be a good get. Just keep him away from the girls.

Libba and Dahl aren't going anywhere.

Neither Stringer nor the club has publicly said anything. I agree that the sheer amount of noise on him indicates its probably true but could be a ploy from his manager to get more money. Perhaps we low-balled him during the year due to his performance.

Don't know what is happening between Jmac and Dalrymple.

CEO was always in a transition role.

The rest is rumour and speculation at best.

I don't believe them all but it's not good , I'm not even on Facebook and it's getting through and most come from this forum !
We all tend to believe the Stringer one though and he hasn't said a word!
nothings actually come out of the horses mouth or the club except to say stringer needs to be more committed.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Article on the herald sun saying Libba and Dahl no chance in leaving. Libba assured the club he'll return to preseason 2 weeks early and in elite condition. Club apparently happy with where it sits. Stringer still gone.

Link is behind paywall but easy to find. Who knew Tom Williams was managing Libba? Couldn't be in better hands surely?

For anyone who hasn't seen it:

Western Bulldog Jake Stringer may be on the move but Tom Liberatore plans to return to 2016 form

TOM Liberatore will return from a European holiday to start his pre-season early, adamant his long-term future lies at the Western Bulldogs.

Liberatore had an indifferent season where he was dropped at one stage. There is speculation about his future given the club’s determination to trade Jake Stringer.

After the side’s Round 23 loss coach Luke Beveridge said Liberatore had to work harder to maximise his undoubted talent.

But while the Dogs’ premiership hangover will see Stringer as collateral damage, Liberatore will stay put.

His manager Tom Williams told the Herald Sun he is determined to return to form next year, with the club on the same page about his future.

“Tom is happy at the Dogs,” said player manager Williams, a former key position player at the club.

“It might be people connecting dots but from our end we have got no issues. We haven’t requested anything from them.

“It was a tough year and he said (in his exit interview) he was looking forward to a break and he is going to come back two weeks early to get fit for pre-season.”

Liberatore and Luke Dahlhaus are both free agents next year but despite midyear discussions will park negotiations until they return to form.

Both parties are happy with that arrangement but it seems certain they will embark upon massive pre-seasons keen to rediscover their 2016 momentum.

Liberatore is overseas on holidays but has committed to returning to the first day of the pre-season in elite shape.

The Dogs have also made it clear to the Liberatore camp they have no plans to put him on the trade table.

Stringer, 23, has kicked 122 goals in the last three years, the 15th most in the league despite his ups and downs.

Beveridge has seemingly given up hope that he could lift his standards of professionalism.

The Dogs want as high a draft pick as possible with Essendon, St Kilda, Geelong and Collingwood all expressing some interest.

Essendon coach John Worsfold has spoken about Stringer.

“There’s not a big list out there, we’ll sift through those and say one do they fit into what we’re trying to build (and) are they possibly available for us,’’ he said.

“If Stringer is on that list, obviously, an All-Australian player we’ll have to seriously consider what he might offer us if he’s available.”

St Kilda coach Alan Richardson also said the club would have to consider him given his immense talent.

Teammate Mitch Wallis said last week of his future that “it’s still up in the air and he still has to really commit to the club”.

But the move to trade him has come from the club, with Stringer coming around to the fact he will have to look for a new home.
