Less is more for the Bulldogs

Re: Less is more for the Bulldogs

Yes really, I have been waiting a long time. I was born after 1954 and very few of us saw that one or even the 1961 attempt. I don't care how we get there (except cheating of course).

Um...with respect, so buying a flag is not cheating?...just to clarify.,

Re: Less is more for the Bulldogs

Lol very nice come back ill have to wait and see..


I dont have anything against us spending more on facilities ect.. but if we are going to put our club in a massive debt (alot bigger then what we are already in) then I would rather be a battler as you put it.. Flags dont bring money or members, just look at port and north for example.. We have not won a flag for a hell of a lot longer then all of them, but man the battle would be worth the wait.

I here what everybody is saying, and yes I would love to see a premiership sooner rather then later, but the fact of the matter is I will still support this club no matter what. Just dont think that winning at all costs is worth it in the long run. Would rather work our way up to it, rather then throw all this cash just to win 1 next year, when we can wait another 5 to build it up.

DragzLS1..I love your work. If this were facebook, I would be pressing 'like' with great enthusiasm.

Sam Edmund - Herald Sun - 8 December

Chief executive Simon Garlick said new coach Brendan McCartney and his team would receive a "reasonably significant" increase, but stressed the Bulldogs didn't believe in buying premierships.

How is it cheating?

I think using the word 'buying' makes it sound like it's cheating.

Spending more money on the footy department is not cheating, but by 'buying' more resources, staff and facilities we are placing ourselves in a better position to be competitive.

Re: Less is more for the Bulldogs

Agreed! You would rather do it the right way!
Then you can tell all the others to stick it where the sun dont shine coz we didnt buy our premiership, we earnt it I would rather win 1 in my life time then 10 shortcut premierships!

would you rather sleep with 5 fat ugly women over a 30 year period? or 1 gorgeous women over a 30 year period! I know what I would pick

Peace

Not sure how you compare premierships and women. Premierships are all counted the same.

There are many of us that have a lifetime already and haven't seen one. We are trying to win just 1 now, let alone 10.

Not sure how paying more is a shortcut?

I would love to buy a premiership.

Me too, personally I don't care how we get it.

Re: Less is more for the Bulldogs

I would rather win one than not but not if it means selling our soul. Unfortunately footy is all about the money even at grass roots level.

Re: Less is more for the Bulldogs

What's wrong with spending more money to get a result? Not interested in cheating in the Carlton way but if we could spend more on the football department and recruit an A grader or two using borderline strategy I wouldn't hesitate. This is hardly a shortcut. Don't get corrupted with ambition but be fierce and determined competitors who will not let other administrations out wit or out deal us. Resources may limit our ability to achieve every result but it should not effect our attitude.

This desperation is a negative; a monkey on the backs of everybody who pulls on the guernsey. I've gone my lifetime too, mate, but as long as we're improving on- and off-field I'm happy. It's worth the wait to do it the right way, and earn the only respect that really matters: self respect.

Absolutely agree.

You have a point, but as I get older and bitterer, I just want a flag.
To many rello's who were members have passed without seeing one and I don't want to be put in the same class.
I could go the high moral ground, but knowing some of the insides of our club and what we have attempted to achieve very little.
Lets just put 100% into winning a flag and then worry about the rest.

I agree with Maddog. I want to get it the right way.
