****,, I know..
Lets get Hird.. Whatever it takes!!!
I dont feel sorry for u guys. I think it was a dumb move to sack him. It was a dumb move for gc to sack mckenna. Ir was a dumb move by adel too. Destabilisation should be rooted out not end with sacked coaches. And coaches just dont get enough time to build a winning list anymore.I'm gonna bloody well spew up if I hear one more opposition club supporter say they feel sorry for us.
This is probably worse. At least when you lose a prelim you can pick it apart and hope to do better next season.Probably the most numbest day ever (even worse than those PF defeats) being a bulldogs supporter. Its up there with the 89 merger fightback
Shots fired. And he is spot on too.
First good luck for the future. I believe Brendan Bolton would be perfect for your club. However, I don't think he will fit the profile you are looking for, as it is too similar to that of McCarthy. Very important for you to get they best available.
I just emailed the membership email account. You normally get a response within a day or 2. That's just membership@westernbulldogs.com.auDoes anyone have Peter Gordon's email address? Please PM me if you do . This is a 1989 moment for this club all over again and 25 years on I am now in a position to help more than I did then - i am sure others are too - I do not want this club to make a second rate decision on a coach for lack of funds - we make the wrong decision now and the young talent at our disposal will remain unfulfilled - or worse find their way to another club. Its time for inspired leadership - not just off the field where I continue to believe we are in safe hands - but for on the field and in the coches box
Posted this on the main board by mistake. Apologies for duplication.
My summary:
1. Club does review and identifies problem with communication. Club address concerns and put measures in place to rectify.
2. Griff says all good - Let carry on.
3. Griff returns from Holiday and advises club he is out.
4. Club talks to players and other stakeholders yesterday (lets call it a review) and they decide Macca has to go.
WTF happened between step 1 and 4.
Not sure exactly, however Gordon mentioned that they all came to him last night to speak of their concerns with what is happening to the club. Stringer said he loves the club and wants to do anything possible to see it survive. Thats as bout as much as I got from that commentary
Rough and Morris had a brief chat with Gordon, they phoned Stringer who came straight in and had a chat with Gordon for about an hour saying how much he was looking forward to the future etc.
I think the captaincy issue was huge in Griffens thinking. Should never have been made captain.My summary:
I think it went like this:
1. Club does review and identifies problems with performance and communication.
2. Griff represents players at meeting and expresses concerns re Macca.
3. Griff agrees to work with Macca to resolve communication problems.
4. Club decides not to sack Macca as Griffen gives support.
5. Club address concerns and put measures in place to rectify.
6. Certain players leave the club dissatisfied with Macca.
7. Griffen sees he has failed and falls on sword.
8. Club talks to players and other stakeholders yesterday (lets call it a review) and they decide Macca has to go.
