Only a few young players, to take over from these 1st class players
What are your thoughts
With these years of mediocrity i suggest they will be better than they are now.
The Dogs will continue to survive until it becomes completely infeasable for them to continue, in which case the AFL may ask them to relocate or merge.
If they start winning more games, they will absolutely survive. Another year in the bottom 4 may be trouble.

Why would a club go under, just because of a few retirements?
This post will do nothing but let other teams fans wynd the doggies up !
Unfortunately its gonna be a hard road ahead for them to survive.

I think the AFL will try their hardest to keep the Bulldogs alive, I don't think they want to lose another club like they did when Fitzroy went.Freo Shark said:

With the government spending a considerable amount of money on Whitten Oval, the survival of the Bulldogs seems almost assured, which is a fantastic thing. They are a club with a long history, and a considerable supporter base, regardless of poor membership numbers as well. If the Bulldogs were forced to relocate, if would mean that a huge amount of the Westen suburbs of Melbourne would lose their football club, and after seeing the Fitzroy supporters put out like they were, no one should wish that upon anyone.

Less of a "loss" more of a "push out because we want a shiny, new club".
The hypocricy of the AFL to say it wants to retain all clubs now it has the competition it has been angling for for over 20 years is stunning.

The AFL need the doggies in the competition representing the Western Suburbs of Melbourne. The AFL will not be same if the doggies died and the AFL must do everything in their power to make sure this never happens. GO DOGGIES!!! Woof Woof !!!

How do you explain 20K+ members every year from 1997 to 2003?
The Doggies will survive.

How many games did you win this year?
As for this thread, it's silly to suggest that a club will die based on a few retirements. We've seen many of their good players retire during the 90's, and they're still here aren't they?

So you don't care about your ladder position? You don't care about making the finals and winning a flag, just as long as you beat us?
The whole season counts, not just one H&A game.
