No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 4

[ossie_21]

Could also say Collingwood 2022 = Bulldogs 2015, with a first year coach and a frenetic game style

We backed up ok the following year

Hey Siri, remind me what happened with the Western Bulldogs in 2016

**** how good was Caleb in the forward half.

Maybe they need to move him back there.

I love Caleb but he is a train wreck in our defensive 50...and taking kickouts. Please play him up forward Bevo. You want JUH and Naughty leading to Caleb kicking the ball inside 50.

[bresker]

Shaun Higgins had retired.

Will always be a premier….. oh wait

Nastiness aside, I enjoyed watching him play . Skill .

 

[goodcop badcop]

Shaun Higgins had retired.

Elite pointer.

 

[bobs head soup]

Shaun Higgins had retired.

We should get him as an assistant coach

Not serious, but isn't that what we say about every fricken retiree

 

[bresker]

Reckon Matthew panos would be a good forward coach and could sit outside the soft cap?

 

[geoffjennings79]

Shaun Higgins had retired.

Actually retired 2 years ago, he just neglected to tell Cats, who still played him last year, but penny started to drop for Chris Scott this year when Higgins ran through the banner for a game wearing slippers, smoking a pipe, and holding an Agatha Christie paperback.

 

[ScragCity]

Higgins was an absolute gun player. One of my favourites when he was at the Dogs.

 

[LittleG]

Hawthorn always talked about their great culture. How indigenous players wanted to play there….

Lies. Plain lies.

Family separations and pregnancy termination: Hawthorn racism review reveals shock allegations against former coaches

Alastair Clarkson and Chris Fagan are named in a Hawthorn review into how First Nations players were treated during Clarkson's time at the helm of the Hawks. Warning — this story contains details of self-harm, pregnancy loss, and intergenerational trauma for Indigenous people.

www.abc.net.au

This is a particularly disturbing read, allegedly involving 2 current head coaches. Hard to believe it could happen.

Potentially raises some uncomfortable decisions for North and Brisbane too if the allegations are substantiated, unfortunately through no fault of their own.

Absolutely wild and imagine if this had come out with Brisbane about to play in a Grand Final (not that it should be the priority but I wonder if this story was being held until Brisbane’s season was done).

While appreciating these anecdotes obviously don’t apply to all clubs, I find in bizarre that clubs will inject their players with PEDs or tell players to make their partners get abortions all in the pursuit of sporting glory but won’t use the ****ing pre-season draft to poach good players.

Wonder if there's any link with Petty's sister as someone said about the Zorko slag to Petty in that game.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Just trying to imagine on what planet indigenous players (or any player) would want to go to North or Brisbane...

Good luck to Dunkley with that 'professionalism' up in Brissy. Real class act (allegedly).

 

[Sentinel]

The report mentions 'a group of coaches'. Would hope this was not during Bevo's 3 years there.

The article only mentions Clarkson and Fagan but it could be much broader then that. Other coaches including Bevo, Simpson and some highly regarded assistants spent time at Hawthorn during Clarkson’s period there.

Both coaches will need to be fired.

 

[Sentinel]

Both coaches will need to be fired.

Would think so. Difficult to see how their positions would remain tenable.

In North's case, Clarkson doesn't officially commence duties until November 1 so might be a big month to play out before that date.

 

[Sharpiesadog]

Both coaches will need to be fired.

Doubt that will happen. AFL review, lessons learnt blah blah blah.

 

[Sharpiesadog]

Absolutely appalling behaviour if true though.

 

[TiAn_]

None of those involved will lose their jobs over this. But, subject to the levels of involvement, I don't know how you'd feel comfortable with employing someone that participated in that stuff to work with your indigenous staff. Abhorrent abuse of influence and power.

Presumably the investigation (but perhaps not the report) was already completed before North hired Clarkson. Surely there was an element of due dilligence which would have meant they at least questioned him on this, they must have had some level of knowledge about the investigation you'd think.

That is pretty disturbing. You wonder how this can be true, but then if it is true how the hell can people act like that?

Unless the allegations are proven to be untrue or exaggerated I can't see how those mentioned survive, no matter how prominent they are. Will be following this closely.
