    Thankyou Macca

    The football world moves on too quickly and we need to take a moment to thank Macca for all he's done at the club. It hasn't been easy and it hasn't been as successful as we'd all hoped but the Whitten Oval is better for having had him here. It takes a courageous man to come in and try to change the culture of a place rather than just win games, he's made some hard calls that other would have shied away from. He's had his critics (me amongst them) but I think we can all acknowledge the hard, good work he's contributed.

    Thanks Macca.

    Thanks Macca, you will be missed.

    Another club is going to end up with a fantastic football person.

      I really feel for him. He tried to change the environment at a club that doesn't want to change. It was a brave effort, but sadly in the end a futile one, the club isn't strong enough to ever be successful.

      I've no doubt we'll see him again at a club that is successful, and I wish him well.

          Thank you Macca - you tried to introduce a strong club culture but evidently could not gain the support of people who wanted to maintain the status quo.

              Exactly the type of coach i wanted at the club after the repeated Prelim failures. I think i only yelled at him 2 or 3 times when we lost games that we shouldn't have. The other 98.5% i was behind him. As has been said, our loss will be societies gain (whatever he decides to do).

                Thank you Macca. Sorry you didn't get the full support you deserved. It saddens me that our club does not have strong leadership.

                  Thanks Macca, well in!!! You have set a competitive "crack in" basis to all our younger brigade, this will set us up for success in the future, and your efforts and contribution will be remembered

                    I wish they kept him, all the best Macca I was a believer.

                    If Griffen stays I don't know what my feelings will be. I would have liked for us to go the distance with the coach.

                    I hope they appoint a coach that does build on what Macca has started and does send us the other way.

                        I'm so sad and sorry that you're no longer a part of the Bulldogs family, but you will be remembered as the builder of the foundation of our future success. All the best.

                            Thank you for the hard work over the three years, a lot of work that we never see, not only at the club but in the community.

                            Good luck with the next role.

                              Good luck for the future Macca. You always took time to talk to the fans and in public represented the Club excellently. Your hard work did not go unnoticed.
