      Re: Coach resigns

      Would love to know what Gia's thoughts are on this.

      Is he with the players or the coach as he has seen both sides due to him sitting in with the coaches and being coached by Macca.

        Re: Coach resigns

        I'm wondering how we attract players from other clubs when they don't even know who the coach will be.
        I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

          We will struggle big time.
          More of an In Bruges guy?

            This is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever to happen to our club.

            So what happens now that we have pandered to the old cronies?
            How do we keep hold of the kids who Macca was turning into legends?byhe ones who got what he was doing? The ones he was sticking up for?
            The Bont will want out like griffin?

            All they have done is removed any sort of conviction our club had.

            Utterly disgusted.

            I love Turtle and PG. they bleed Bulldogs but this is seriously shit. Sorry boys if you cannot see through with the plan then it's time to go. - I can't believe I just said that!

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.
              There has been one poster on here that I have seen and several on Facebook state exactly that.

              I would argue that if people don't have the emotional intelligence to control their typing when they are a bit frustrated then they need to be accountable for that, it is not up to those reading their comments to censor for them as they read.

              If someone comes on and rants that they are "tearing up their memberships" then on face value, in my opinion, they are less loyal and they will lose a certain amount of respect from those that would renew their memberships (if financially able) no matter what the crappy circumstances.

                  Just mentioned this in conversation about 10 minutes ago. Not just no coach but such an unattractive environment. I wouldn't want to play for us.

                  Picks, picks and picks. We've got to start this climb again.

                    Sorry the Facebook page is seriously pathetic and I refuse to read comments from there as it is full of trolls.

                    WOOFers are a bit more measured and I think you can cut someone some slack if they go a bit over the top on the odd occassion. It is their little protest and they are entitled to that viewpoint surely.

                    Anyway we will agree to disagree.

                      Instead of concentrating on trading for key players or picks & making our club attractive to coaching staff & potential players, we have to listen to this crap play out! I'm very disappointed in Griffin & other seniors! Get rid of the assholes who put us in this position!
                      Thank You Macca for trying to put us in the right direction, sorry to see you go.

                        So the question is, who are the a- holes that put us in this position??

                          One thing that has irked me with this is how poorly it has been handled by all involved.
                          The writing apparently has been on the wall for a couple of months now, very poor to bring it to the fore in trade week.
                          If Griff wanted to leave it should have been decided weeks ago,If Cooney, Dahl or any others wanted to leave it should have been sorted weeks ago, if Macca was not going to coach it should have been decided weeks ago.
                          Now I understand the domino or butterfly effect but this did not happen overnight and it seems to me it has a sniff of ' let sleeping dogs lie'.
                          Now we trying to trade without a coach, captain or a paddle.
                          It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

                            Don't even waste our time in trying to get players, just go for drafts. We will have 2 inside top 10 at a minimum.

                              I was thinking the same thing. I was surprised one of the journos didn't call him on it
                              If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                                Because then the immediate reply is 'he has resigned'. (Obviously we know it wasn't purely a resignation....but it's the club line).
