    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...

    Easton Wood's First Game

    It's called..no forward structure!

    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...

    Fox Footy Commentary

    The commentary was absolutely disgraceful, only overshadowed by the deplorable and amateur camera direction, extremely frustrating watching superfluous replays while live play was being missed. Even my wife commented on how biased the commentary was towards Sydney, especially the highly crap...

    Membership Crisis.

    I find Smorgon's plea frustrating, he says he knows who the lapsed members are and where they are, but at the same time says he doesn't know why they haven't signed up. Wouldn't the obvious thing to do is call them and find out! Setup an outbound telemarketing campaign and call each...

    Angry - very angry

    You are delusional. I saw plenty of shocking free kicks paid to St.Kilda throughout the game. The game was turned around due to the Doggies winning the centre and running the Saints off their feet. You really have no idea.

    Rocket

    Apart from Lucas who did Essendon have down the spine? As far as big bodies is concerned, we were bigger than Essendon, but still got smashed in winning the ball, chasing, harrasing, pressure etc. The problem is our players are mentally weak and don't have the application to go hard for four...

    Rocket

    I'm becoming increasingly worried about Eade's ability to make us a true premiership contender. The slide for me started last year when his game plan was dismantled by the other sides and he had no comeback. On face value, this seems to have continued. However I 'm willing to give him the...

    Can West, Boyd and Cross play in the same team?

    The only player good enough at this point is Griffen, he really needs to be played full time in the midfield. The next guy with the ability is Everitt, who can play an Adam Goodes style of midfielder. Griffen, Cooney and Ray need to form the nucleus of our midfield. Cross, Boyd and West...

    Number 2 Ruckman

    Based on form I would select Minson as my second ruck behind Hudson, then Skipper. I would never play Street again unless the others are injured. Skipper offers more around the ground, whereas Minson (in form) would be better in the ruck. Wight should only be a chop out if injury strikes...

    All is not rosy in relationship between key Dogs

    The key relationship from now on will be between Eade and the new Football GM. To me, it doesn't matter that Rose and Eade don't meet eye to eye. I have worked for many CEOs that I personally didn't like, but still carried out my job to the best of my abilities and for the good of the...

    On-field leadership

    I believe the leadership group at a club is largely overrated and ceremonial. A premiership team has 22 leaders, each with a role to fill, each with the desire, commitment and attitude to assist teammates and show leadership qualities at all times. Whoever rocks up to a press conference or...

    Thank you and farewell Chris Grant

    A magnificent career by a magnificent footballer and spectacular bloke. I hope one day the Brownlow medal he so richly deserved is eventually bestowed to him. Class, loyalty, respect, toughness and skill are a few of the many attributes Chris Grant possesses. Long live our number 3!

    "2008" by Smorgo, Rocket and Grant

    I really couldn't care less what is said at a B&F. What matters is the performance on the field. Actually, I would be much more assured if I heard nothing at all from the club and just saw hard work and commitment. Words are just words at the end of the day.

    Grant stood tall for the Dogs & Other Grant Articles

    Re: Grant stood tall for the Dogs Happy retirement Chris. Enjoyed watching every minute of your immense skills on the field. We have lost our talisman and you will be missed by all. Retired with dignity unlike the 353 send-offs Archer and Hird had. You were the greatest bulldog I...
