Coach resigns

Re: Coach resigns

Officially, dunno.

But it seems unlikely.

Griffen has got to go. Any other players that don't want to be here have got to go. New coach, clean slate, fresh start.

It's a bloody mess!

Re: Coach resigns

So I've been at work and missed the presser. Is Griffen staying?

I'll fill you in

PG started talking about Griffen and advising how at the Bulldogs we honour contracts and take them extremeley seriously, despite being at a press conference of the senior coach being shown the door with 2 years left to run on his contract.

The rest was pretty much saying how great Griffen is and the great leadership qualities he has shown throughout this saga.

And some more Griffen love.

Yikes, worse than I thought. Thanks mate. I'm trying to piece it altogether. This helps.

Why blame Griffen, there is a long line of players, senior and junior that are not happy. Griffen just represented them as a spokesman.

Listen to the press conference and you will change your mind about the resignation. Basically for 6 months Macca's communication to the players was woeful.

I said it before, when your only A Grade player and captain wants out there are serious problems at the club.

Griffen threatened to walk out, our captain. I don't blame him for what's happened today although he hasn't helped either. I just can't see how he can continue to play for us after this. How do you come back? He's got to go IMO.

So every time an a grade player wants out the coach should go?

When that same player agrees to and buys into new terms and ways of fixing the issues only to come back days later and ask to be traded... Then there's serious problems with that player.

He has to go, and has still made his intention to go .
The club will be a laughing stock of the footy world taking him back.

Re: Coach resigns

I redact my comments from the other thread. In the space of 2 hours we've wrecked everything.

That press conference was as shit as we are.

Re: Coach resigns

I think he is referring to some saying that they have switched allegiances to other clubs. But I also take issue with people "throwing in their memberships" because they get a bee in their bonnet (not for financial reasons, that is totally understandable). Our club desperately needs members and you'd think they would have a memory long enough to remember a time when the club nearly went under (or just a few years ago when we won 18 or so games a season for a few years in a row). If they were truly passionate about the club they would want to ensure its survival and contribute financially given the means, no matter how hard things are at present.

There are constructive ways to voice your concerns that don't mean turning your back on the club. Everyone has the right to do the latter, but don't expect full respect from people that would like this club to be around in the long term.

Who has said they would switch allegiance to another club? What gets said at times like where your club is potentially self-destructing are often off the cuff remarks. It is not a time to question and make judgement on people's loyalty due to a few remarks made on an internet forum. Again how would you know if one is truly passionate or not about the club simply by a statement during a time of crisis, on an internet forum.

Where did I say that. Just accept there were problems at the club, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are. You have to be a manager of people, not yell and scream at them. I said this a mo nth ago, but I was shot down by Webby and a few others. if you have ever managed people you would know what I mean.

Personally, I want him to stay, but I can understand how people don't.

How many of those guys lied to the President & Chris Grant, made an agreement 2 days earlier then reneged on it while talking behind the club's back to GWS for months?

I don't know how he can stay.
