Just like this one.I love that half the idiot opinions here in the Bulldogs forum are from fans of other clubs.
LOL Dragons fans attempting to throw shade.The real deal? Bunch of grubby chockers
It's not looking any better for 2017 either.
It's not that hard. It's a change of game plan that will ultimately decide how we go. Big forwards obviously do work to a degree. But you saw as soon as we needed to play catch up, that cause we never play that game, we had no idea.
I remember watching the Sharks play a few weeks ago, they actually play a similar style to us, the difference is that they don't soley go up the middle. Once they have put that dominance in, and forced the defense to compress, they start attacking the edges. But we don't do this, and when we try, the ball just gets there too slow cause it's mainly going through the forwards. This is where the hooker needs to have a bit more brains.
I would like to see Mbye to hooker, need to find a halfback - this person really just needs a great kicking game cause that would help us no end with the forwards we have and an attacking speedy fullback.
You really think Des will change his game plan? Teams have figured his game plan out the last 3 years. GF loss in 2014, 2nd week eliminated 2015, 1st week eliminated 2016. We're going backwards and haven't signed anyone. And where the f**k is our juniors?
We have no juniors, and those we signed as development players haven't developed at all.
Though Des did play a different style at Manly than he is playing at the Dogs. So he does have another game plan, and thats what he needs to re-evaluate.
He is a good coach, you only have to look around at other teams and how much they struggle in the coaching department to know that. I think it's about getting behind the coach, and maybe changing up some of the assistants around him so they can help influence Des.
Don't get me wrong, things need to change. But they aren't as bad as you think. The style has changed, but not for the better over the past few years. Mainly due to a crappy hooker we bought who only likes to pass the ball to the forwards for some reason and who doesn't have a kicking game.
And who signed that crappy hooker? Des.
I don't understand the need to crucify Des or demand he leave/get sacked.
He isn't the core issue - I think our recruitment (for which Des holds part, not all responsibility) is the issue at the moment. We need a better spine, as suggested above a new 7 and move Mbye to 9. Lichaa can go wherever. Even Garvey would be a better option, we played far better footy with him there IMO
I don't think Des was the sole person who made the decision on Hoppa.
