Excuse me sir, but you seem to be. You are already dead set on us needing a new coach. You are looking at current numbers and making predictions on the future of McCartney's coaching tenure based on this. This would be fair enough, if you actually looked at the numbers factually, and not to twist them to support your own agenda. I will address this fact.
Other teams that have shown patience and support for a "youth rebuilding program":
Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Fremantle, GCS, GWS, Hawthorn, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda, West Coast. I have left Sydney out because they are afforded concessions by the AFL which allow them to remain at least semi competitive.. You see, it's the circle of football life.
I am not sure why you are implying that Bulldogs supporters are being more patient than any other club who has gone through this exact position, particularly after falling heavily after a successful period of playing finals.
Continuing to ignore evidence that he took over a once competitive side on a serious decline is incredibly foolish, and it only adds fuel to the fire that you have an agenda against the man.
You also ignore that Rocket took on a list that was factually in an upward trend. More importantly, you also ignore that McCartney took on a list that was factually on a downward trend:
Looking at results in isolation from 2011 (not 2010) when we won 9 games, this included 6 losses by over 40 points, which included a 123 point loss. Do these results indicate a team on any sort of positive trend going into the next season?
Since you have been predicting the future throughout this whole thread, I am going to make a small, somewhat safe prediction for what's to come for the remainder of 2013. We should win a
minimum of 3 more matches for the season. I don't care where they come from, but we play Melbourne x2 and GWS x1. I am comfortable in making this prediction.
Having said that:
The graph indicates that by the end of 2013, the Bulldogs should be trending in a positive direction re: wins per season under Brendan McCartney.
I, as a responsible, level headed person, will wait for this time to re-assess which direction the club is actually heading in.
