Remember when Griffin left the Bulldogs? Remember when there was a mass exodus at Brisbane? Change the culture, let those that don’t want to be there go.I actually found his after game press conference intriguing. He was in obvious shock. Really deflated effort. Looked embarrassed.
But he obviously cares alot reflected by how devastated he came across.
If he could come across more angrier, it might be enough to start changing peoples minds. Drop a few 'f' bombs, publicly demand higher standards something, anything. But Im thinking he got on the aeroplane and cried all the way home.
But the club cannot sack him even if they don't win a game - which is an unlikely possibility but still possible. They are obliged to back him in another two years and that will make three (including last year).
But if the team loses more important payers, namely Zerret and Parish at the end of the year on top of Danihar, Fantasia and Saad last year, he better look out.
We handled Fantasia and Daniher poorly and it put our rebuild back a year with added drama.
Merrett has become a front runner. If he wants to go, let him, just make sure we replace him with someone who runs both ways.
