Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
If we sack the coach after 3/4 of a season what kind of club will we become, we will be on a fast track to no longer existing. We have had our up period, we didn't make the most of it and our list is guttered, its time to rebuild, guess what? it takes time. We need to stick fast with the coach and if we are still not improving after 2-3 years then yes in all right we would look to move him on, sacking him at this stage is just reactionary and stupid.
Suck it up people, we are in for a tough period.Comment

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
I'm a little concerned, but I'm willing to be patient. I'll wait till next year to make a proper judgement. Mac especially needs to encourage players to move the ball with more risk. Less focus on the inside and more on the outside.Comment

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
Again Flags
Hawthorn 1
Bulldogs 0
Finals dont count, flags do. It is the fact that the successful clubs expect wins and flags, the smaller clubs, like the Dogs just say well we tried hard...What I am saying is that we as supporters need to change our mind set and start to demand more not sit back and say "oh well we nearly got there"...Second best is no good anymore, nearly there does not rate.
I just want supporter to say enough is enough and put some heat back into the club, make them want it and let them know that we as a membership will no longer sit back and watch sub-standard performance from what are meant to be the elite players of their ilk.Comment

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
Yep the safe option is certainly not getting us anywhere so a few risks can't hurt. Not like we're not getting thumped as it is!
If we're trying to learn a patient build up game style at all costs, we will become unwatchable. Actually we already are unwatchable!Comment

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
Matter of fact to make the point even better...Geelong won the flag in 07, 09 & 11 so they must be rebuilding now too then... see how we as members just sit back and go well we had a good three years, these teams have had good ten yers stints.
I ask what is the core of our problem, coaching?, recruiting? board? or the members not expecting much?Comment

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
I'm trying hard to find a point in what you've been posting. The closest I can come to one is you think that after Hawthorn won the flag in 2008 they have been a power and we have been poor.
The facts are Hawthorn have been little more than an also ran in recent years. 1 final win is a massive under achievement given the list and age demographic they have. The Bulldogs have won 2 finals in the same period of time and our list, due to a long list of short term list management decisions, poor recruiting 4-7 years ago, and the lost of 2 of our most promising players to expansion clubs, is completely undbalanced and in need of a total rebuild.
If you think Hawthorn have been a shining example over the past 4 years I am gobsmacked.[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Starting to get worried about our coach
I'm not saying 'oh well we had 3 good years' I'm just explaining why the media is hammering Melbourne and not the DogsComment
