    My fear.....

    Absolutely spot on! Now that the decision has been made, and Aker gone, the emphasis should shift to how the playing group, and especially the leadership group responds. Footballers first and foremost should perform on the field, not just talk in team meetings and behind closed doors...

    Is it time to get rid of 'Western Bulldogs'?

    I much prefer "Footscray" or another more pertinent name than "Western Bulldogs". I never refer to them as "Western" and hardly refer to them as 'Western Bulldogs'. I only refer to them as "The Bulldogs" or "Footscray". However I still follow them fanatically and don't mind if they...

    Hall and Minson

    I rather see Will used predominantly in the ruck and then position himself in the hole in defense providing coverage at CHB, much like Wynd did so effectively. he doesn't need to take a clear mark, just contest and ensure the ball comes to ground for a defensive sweepers to carry away from the...

    Bulldogs delist O'Keefe and Lynch

    If O'Keefe has so many "off-field" issues, then why was he selected as an emergency so many times? Doesn't make sense to me. He's only 19, at that age you can make rash, immature decisions. I would think the club would try and work them through during the off season. If Geelong did the same...

    Bulldogs delist O'Keefe and Lynch

    On face value I believe the club has made a mistake with O'Keefe. I've watched him several times at Willi and he has impressed me. I reckon he can make it as an AFL player. I'm not privy to the reasons why he has been delisted, but I sure hope that he is redrafted as a rookie or late ND...

    Why was Gotch sacked ?

    Agree with this. I went along to the Willi vs Collingwood semi-final at Teac Oval. Listened to his qtr time address at the huddle after the Pies absolutely pantsed Willi in the first qtr (they had a strong wind). Gotch's opening statement was something like: "ok boys, forget the...

    Is it time ?

    Or maybe the coach and match committee made drastic errors...which translates into a loss to a bottom side with nothing to play for, as opposed to us with everything to play for on our home ground. Addison was hopeless last week playing in the forward line, why was it going to be any...

    Sometimes the Coaching panel need to put their hand up.

    I couldn't agree more with what has been stated in this thread. Last week I was frustrated at the forward line setup, especially Addison at FF. It didn't work last week and it sure didn't work this week. Basically, the loss today can lay squarely on the shoulders of Eade. His was out...

    Lets look at the positives

    Another positive is that our destiny is in our own hands. We must gather momentum over the next month heading into the finals. It's time we stood up in the big games and outplay at least Brisbane and Collingwood. My main concern is our dysfunctional forward line, albeit with quite a few...

    Enemies of the Bulldogs

    No.1: Ian "nazi" Collins - My blood boils at the mere mention of his name. I hate no-one else on earth except that Collins. Saying he robbed Chris Grant of a brownlow is an extreme understatement. He did all he could to prevent Chris Grant from being cleared of suspension. To this day he...

    We could have had Palmer instead of Grant!

    I had a chat to Grant at the Family Day, he seemed very grounded and friendly. Good bloke I would say actually. I have every confidence in him making it at senior level. I would rather the club try and unearth a potential match winner who may indeed lead us to a flag, then play it safe...

    Ins and Outs VS North

    IN: Ray, West (if fit), Callan OUT: Hill, Tiller, Wight/Williams We need the extra two midfielders in the rotation and Callan's hardness down back. I don't think we can carry both Wight and Williams in the side at the moment. Williams is still under done and Wight while being...

    WILLIAMSTOWN vs SANDRINGHAM

    Got to the game at half-time after Mother's Day lunch with the family. Overall I thought our players did well, Willi got some soft free kicks in the 3rd qtr but dominated the last, especially in the middle. I agree with most here that Callan Ward was very impressive, took a beautiful mark...
