Bring back Terry Wheeler, he was ahead of his time.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

My dream appointment would be Malthouse and if there is any chance at all we should move heaven and earth to get him. I have heard things like he would never come back to the club, maybe some more knowledgable woofers can fill us in as to his bitteness towards our club.
I've also heard we can't afford Malthouse but i would of thought whatever you pay him you would get that back with an increase in membership and sponsorship.

No thank you, never had his heart in the bulldogs previously and walked out when the going got tough. Rocket is a mile better person than Malthouse and would have had 5 premierships if he had the resources and playing group Malthouse has. (maybe exaggerated but I am angry at the moment)

I wonder if German get's Willy up for the VFL GF he is in with a shot?

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

Hate to be pessimistic, but...

- We have and probably will continue to spend the least on our football department out of all of the clubs
- Our list has a glut of players who have played <25 games, and another glut of players close to 30 - injuries or burn outs to younger and older players possible
- We also have a professional and demanding board, CEO and president (nothing wrong with that) who wont accept mediocre performances.
- 2 of our superstars (Cooney and Lake) have big injury clouds over them
- Our financial situation, smaller supporter base etc mean that we cant bottom out

Tough assignment!!!

Is Mark Williams under contract at GWS?

Premiership coach. Has coached a club that bears similarities to ours in the way of budgets...

/sarcasm on We may entertain Bailey for the next 3 seasons to 'develop' young players in various positions until we have drafted enough talents. We will then get a decent coach to coach for a Premiership.

I have been a financial member since 1983 ... If Leon Cameron is appointed as Senior Coach, I will not be renewing my membership.

Now Lisa, I know you're angry right now....

I've also been a financial member for some time and regardless of who is appointed, I WILL ALWAYS continue to contribute to the club financially. I'm going to assume that you're just angry at the moment?

Ledge he is not up to it. He has never experienced Grand Final day and he still needs more development. Surely we want someone that knows how to prepare for a GF and has coached or been an assistant coach at a club winning games (yeah I know the Hawks are currently winning lots)

First, I do not understand the decision to get rid of Eade. I have stated publicly that I believed he was the best man for the job ... that aside, appointing an un-tried senior coach sends this club backwards.

Appointing an un-tried senior coach who has not been a part of a leadership team that has tasted that ultimate glory is ludicrous.

I have no ill-feeling towards Leon, in fact, in all my dealings with him, he has be very nice and very approachable ... he is just not the man to lead this club.

I am very angry right now, and I will probably renew my membership regardless.
I was willing to be part of a rebuild under Rocket ... four or five years to taste that ultimate success was worth it. Yes he has been at the club for seven years, and had his chance ... he got close, but injuries, retirements, and deserters hid harder than first thought.

To refresh under an untried coach ... stinks of Rhode.

I really hope we have learnt from that experience but can't help thinking this is the path we are on right now.

BD, no doubt you are hurting, but having worked alongside Mick at the Dogs through the mid to late eighties this claim is totally unfounded. He was passionate about the Bulldogs and equally passionate to deliver us a long awaited premiership and he still does have a soft spot for us.

Its going to be a guessing game by the press and us, just who are the names available?
Cameron seems to be first up , any others?

The best available coach on the market is Rodney Eade. With 3 preliminary finals in the past 4 seasons, a proven ability to develop a list and a proven tactical specialist on game day he ticks the boxes required GIVEN a strong support structure around him. Without the later it wont matter who we get as head coach.

As Fantasia has dodged a bullet for the time being, watch the Demons pounce and see their 2012 prospects rise significantly.

Talk about a case of throwing the baby out with the bath water after an injury cruelled 2011 coupled with the disruptive pilfering landscape we're stuck in the middle of i.e Harbrow, Ward etc.

Re: Its done now,who will take over?

The Rhode situation was totally different. It was all about money. He never had any significant creditials and to refer every up and coming coach in the country to him is a joke.
