It's been done to death.

And so is blaming the poor decisions at the time.

A little while yet. Eade and Clayton left our list in disarray.

Clayton? Wow, that's kind to McCartney, Clayton's been gone for five years. Our lack of development in the last 3-4 is the concern.

On the upside I have found the player I love to hate the most - Harley Bennell.

That's all u can stomach. That bloke fumbled twice, had a cuppa and still no Dogs player tackled him. Unforgivable.

I need to see improvement in the second half. We've been competitive this year for much longer than we have in previous years but efforts like we're seeing today are not good enough for any team.

You can deny it all you like AP6, but our list was left in a disgraceful state after Eade left and we're paying for it now.

It's not about denying it, it's about saying "Well, the past is then past, let's move on". Many aren't capable of that, but blame the decisions of the past for way too long. We can still blame Eade and Clayton, at what point do we blame the current regime for the predicament we're in. Dud draft picks don't account for the current ineptitude.

GC have lairised their way through the second half and they have still embarrassed us completely.

This has to be on the players. No way can a complete drop off like this be the coaches fault. The players are not up to it and our seniors are pathetic. If we had Hayes/Reiwoldt\Montagna we would win more games

Clayton? Wow, that's kind to McCartney, Clayton's been gone for five years. Our lack of development in the last 3-4 is the concern.

And if he made good decisions 5 years ago it wouldn't be such a mess. Clayton and Eade destroyed us.

That was 4 years ago.

The list was in total decay, and when we fell in 2011 our first pick was 17.
Then you've got all the 17 year olds ( cream of the crop) and uncontracted players Ward Harbrow losses have killed us.
Bitterly disappointed, but to put all our problems at the feet of McCartney ( like a few here do ) is not right.

Then there are those who look on the past with rose coloured glasses and continuously blame our current staff.

2010 we were expected to play finals.

2011, 2012, 2013, 2014

Don't forget in Eade's last year 12 players debuted.

Re: 2014 Game Day Round 10 - Gold Coast Suns V Western Bulldogs

Been a fair bit of criticism about having Gia in. Him playing as sub is far from our biggest concern at the moment.

That's horribly disrespectful to the guy who lead us to three PF's.
