Was listening to KB on SEN this morning and Greg Denham was on his soapbox about how the Bulldogs are in strife.
He kept going on and on saying, "They are in trouble", "You've got to worry" and other doomsaying quotes.
His only points for the argument were:
* The Bulldogs are going to lose Brian lake and therefore we are going in be in trouble.
* The Bulldogs can't afford to keep Aker
* We have the worst membership in the AFL
* Our supporters are all blue collar supporters from the west and we can't attract new supporters
* We can't even afford to pay the extra expenses fee for the players.
Hello Ad Nauseum!
Sure we need money, we always have, and the club has some interesting decisions to make about the list at the end of the year. It may need to be a balancing act and we might have to delist some of the older players (Welsh, Eagleton
or even Aker).
Lake obviously wants more money and the club will do everything it can to offer him a good deal i'm sure. But at the end of the day if he wants to leave for $100,000 or so more a season that Sydney are offering him then I say he is filth and deserves everthing that Nathan Brown and Terry Wallet have got from leaving the club.
If he is prepared to let his mates down and play for a team that won't play finals just for a little bit of extra cash, and to be despised by the red white and blue army then good luck to him.
If this does happen then i hardly see this as the end for the club as Greg Denham was proposing on the radio this morning. He was going on and on about how we will be in trouble and we can't keep rattling tins every time. Sure our membership figures aren't great this year but we are not the worst in the AFL as Greg has suggested.

To me it looks like both Sydney and Brisbane are worse than us Greg.
We all know that the clubs add their figures differently as well.
Is the club in such dire circumstances as Greg Denham predicts?
or do you think he is just trying to stir people up to create a story?
