    Re: McCartney to coach Bulldogs

    I'm happy with this appointment. The easy choice for the panel would have been to select Cameron. By going with McCartney they have chosen to be bold....something the club needs to be. Now to put the support structure around the new coach.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

      Well done to the club and I think this might be a sign of where the list is at.

        A little more information on his background, from The Age earlier this year http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-new...430-1e25z.html

              Good luck to him.

              He has had a long stable apprenticeship with the most successful club of the modern era. Is obviously widely respected and was head hunted by the Bombers. Now if Leon Cameron had that on his resume.....

              The Club has done what it said it would do and 'refreshed".

                Without knowing anything about him as a coach, his appointment gives me confidence the process was legitimate and the club has appointed the man they believe is the best candidate.

                Good luck Brendan.

                  That's a pretty effusive write up. Seems to be pretty well respected and the teaching aspect of his background and coaching career is very much in line with what our list needs.
                  On face value, I like it. Now to see what he can do with the list available. Be interested to see what happens with the Williams, Monty and Dean.

                    I am very, very impressed with the appoitment of McCartney.

                    The club has shown that it is willing to be bold and ready to take risks in these difficult times. It would of been easy for the club to rest on it's laurells and pick Baker, however they chose to go outside the square and stick to a genuine process of picking the best available.

                    He sounds like just the man to help heal the many rifts that have been emerging between club and player.

                    All that is left is for Fantasia to be given his marching orders and for McCartney to be given the resources to get the best out of his group.

                    Well Done Dogs!

                        Good Apointment, James Hird was full of praise for him and Harley would have spent a fair chunk of time with him at Geelong so he seems very well respected and credentialled.

                        Now that it is done, i feel a bit bad for Leon Cameron.

                              If he is as good as being reported then he will have his day very soon.
