What with all this players chuckin' a sookie and the coach goes bullcrap? Seems to be catching on.

Maybe but Griffen has damaged his brand at the Dogs and will be moved on. Not sure the Dogs would want to lose Captain and Coach

I liked that article with Andrew Travis. There seems to be a clear idea what they're doing now; namely fixing our depth (i.e. our NEAFL side) and getting mature-aged players to act as mentors.

why didnt we sign josh hunt as a top up player

Because he's a piker.

It won't be at the Bulldogs that's for sure. I think there may be a clean out of the Geelong influence after today.

 

[Bazza37]

WOW another coach bites the dust
Players have all the power these days
The Bulldogs have never been the same after they turfed AKER.

 

[Covertackle]

is this usual all these coaches leaving etc? Im new to AFL, but ive noticed the priority in junior development (16-22) seems more vital and public than what happens in thr NRL.

But is it usual to clean out coaches as well and so much as this season??

 

[Covertackle]

They say ' when the tide is low, all the ships are lower in the water...'

Are coaches getting a raw deal?

 

[Bazza37]

Bolton to the Doggies for sure

The Dog on 360 that hates Acker, would have a personality clash with Bolton. Murphy only thinks he's smart, Bolton is....

 

[Experimental]

The Dogs just need to get rid of all their older blokes and start over. They've caused shit for years. Pathetic.

 

[Iva Bigun]

So the Players have turfed Sanderson, Bluey and now the Dogs coach, TOOOOO MUCH POWER

It's Gen Y, times have changed. They need hugs....

Let's have a Sando/McCartney duel-coaching scenario. YOLO.

You know what else only happens once? Startup list concessions.

That is an interesting topic, and needs its own thread, not in the GCS area, but on the main board. It may be possible this equilibrium has been coming for some time for he good of the game. Time will tell.

The players are treated like slave gladiators. flogged, traded, pitted against each other, all with a use by date. Perhaps there has been too much slavery, too much of being told where to live, how to live, what to eat, where to go, who your friends are, etc. Control at every point. Is that not slavery of a kind? Very interesting topic.

Has the draft done this? Was this inevitable? The Lions got a taste of player displeasure. Perhaps its beginning on a wider scale, and if its not addressed, unrest will get worse? These are kids with a dream being slowly squeezed to be robots of little pleasure, no fun, no, freedom. I can see a revolt from all this in a few years. Historically it has been kids who revolt. And usually get rewarded for it, like Ian Chapell, Tony Greig, Richie Benaud, etc. Shit happens, money sees opportunity. It happened to Cricket, the NRL, Boxing. You think it cant happen to AFL? Kids will not be slaves. Are they revolting? Are the ships low because of the tide?

Rumours seem to suggest that the bad apples at Footscray are senior players, apparently the youngsters liked McCartney. Players shouldn't complain too hard, in North America you can be traded anywhere until the trade deadline whether you like it or not.

Trouble with your argument is that its the veterans that are driving all this crap.

Would Macca be a good fit at the Suns?

As a development Coach, definitely.

Not so much as Senior Coach.

So as a Developmental Assistant Coach, yet not as a Senior Coach of a young group of men?
