Upgrading it to ripper line, given the avoidance of question.

What avoidance? There were enough responses but none prepared to commit. I think you've had a few too many to be thinking too much right now ld

Clarkson talking about the evolution of the game that they need to change their style for next year. Dimma trying to perfect hawks 2008 game plan.

Frighteningly accurate.
Every time he's tried to innovate we've had a terrible start to the season. Then goes back to the ol Clarko notes.

Gulp! Leysy certainly would have. Spook wouldn't.

Burp!

Spew!
 
In the second quarter with the Bulldogs trailing by 22 points, Luke Beveridge, the Doggies coach, swung the changes. He moved Bontempelli and Jason Johannisen forward. He threw Jake Stringer into the midfield and pushed Josh Dunkley into a high half-forward position. Picken was thrown into the middle and the Bulldogs swarmed the opposition with fierce pressure. Suddenly the game turned and the Western Bulldogs' confidence grew. They ended up kicking more than 100 points for the first time since round 17. That is called coaching Hardwick. Something that eludes you on game day and begs the question, “what the hell do you do on training days, because it sure ain't coaching?”

Yeah, I’ve had a gutful of this fraud and my club that makes every excuse possible to keep the mug.

Hard to disagree with that TD. How's your chest now ?
 
It's getting to stage now he is being hated more then Frawley. He is really big trouble.
Side loses, he is screwed
Side wins, he is still screwed
 
Club honchos know zero about football.

How do they expect the players to rally around Dimma one more time?

Particularly when so much unrest is evident within the playing group?

To build Rome around a stinking garbage pit doesn't make any sense at all.

Why is this happening?

If only Focus on Footy had the smarts to base their platform on Hardwick.

I'm just bewildered with our club at the moment.

Exactly.
Hardwick just doesn't measure up.
Obvious for all to see.
 
Caro applauding the Balme appointment as "brilliant".

Balme is a relationship mender, not a head kicker.

Nothing to see at Tigerland.

We'd rather spend two million to keep Dimma around than one million to pay him out.
 
yep. watching last night when Bevo changed things up and the players responded i thought wow, that is what it is all about. the relationship between a coach and his team. intent and application. it was as good as it gets. Hardwick should, but won't, take a deep look at it.
 
god woke up this morning to check the news and read PRE. This shocking dud of a coach is still coaching our rabble. Just get rid of him because if the club don't will lose around 20k members.

Yep. Good point.
That's the root cause of the problem at our club.
The lack of talent at the top end.

I would say that we need someone to make a hard decision.

But the reality is, it's not a hard decision at all. The decision is easy. It's obvious. We all know what has to happen.

The fans can see it, the media can see it, and so can the players judging by how many are contemplating a move away.

My only hope is we are working on something behind the scenes - when did McCartney leave? Middle of trade week?
