BAMF

Cant believe this thread is still going. There a few people on here saying 'if the right deal came along we should do it' Well of course if we win out of the trade we should. But Pettards current trade value is far below what he is truly worth. He is a match winner when on song. And how many games has he played? his best is in front of him. What do you think a club would pay for Ricky at this point? If you think its anything more than a mid second round pick you are dreaming. Why don't we just keep him and let him develop into the potential match winner he could become?

That is awesome. But its nothing compared to the NFL Fantasy Files.

He is injured. Check last weekends Casey matchday threads. He didn't even start the game last week. Might explain why he is playing in the reserves recently.

Horrible idea.

Lets have a look at the 5 man team the Bulldogs put together. Simon Garlick - CEO (Chair) James Fantasia - Football operations manager Geoff Walsh - Board member Chris Grant - Former Club Champion Tom Harley - Independent

I think we should have a representative on the Coaching Sub Committee. After all, we are clearly all die hard fans. Plus we would really appreciate all the inside info. I nominate Whispering Jack. Rhino, maybe you should tag along as well, just in case anyone gets out of line.

Wow! that's a lot of cash.

Agreed.

Surely they wouldn't reveal a new sponsor while there is 2 more games in the season with the current ones still paying for the exposure.

Viney and Lyon. Two guys how have both come out and said multiple times that they don't want the position. I would prefer someone who wants the position.

There's no harm in asking the boy if he would like to come home and play with us. If he says no we just leave it there.

We didn't really want to offload Scotty Thompson of the Wizard either. Sh!t happens!

Ughh.... Umpiring bashing after a loss. Seriously. We are better than this.

I'm surprised. Sylvia's was high but he was just trying to give a bit to richmond. Was unlucky to get him high. Thought it deserved a week for recklessness. Davey was fired up and lined the player up and raised an elbow, clearly trying to hit Morton in the head. Only gets one week.

As soon as he arrived I knew Scott West would return to the Western Bulldogs. No surprise here.

I'm on the same page as you. But your getting your left and right field terms round the wrong way. Eg. Rocket Eade is available. He has experience, has a good record, is affordable, is available and would no doubt win us more games than he lost. A safe choice. However the team selecting the coach have decided to go with Ben Cousins. He does not have any experience as a senior or assistance but the team think his work ethic and thinking outside of the square would be worth the risk. This is a extreme left field choice example.

I would much rather give Mark Neeld a 3 year contract than sit here for a year. Yes. Malthouse is the best option. But he is not the be all and end all that everyone is making out. I will be very angry with the club if this happens. It would be so frustrating as a player to have 3 different coaches with 3 different game plans within 3 years. They would finally perfect what Viney had taught them, knowing that Malthouse would most likely change it the following season.

We took applicants for the job. Weeded out the bad one's and made a shortlist. We then extensively interviewed the people on the short list and got them to give us a presentation. Bailey was deemed the best available by the selection panel. Thinking about who was available at the time, how was he a left field option?

Yeah, wishful thinking on my part.

I would put offers to Rockcliff and Jack Redden. Both absolute weapons.

Beat me to it old dee.

A year is a massive amount of time in football. If Malthouse wants to coach us then he I want him to start now or not at all. All this talk about Eddie suing is [censored]. I dont care if Eddie saves face. Viney has stated that he doesn't want to be a senior coach a couple of times now. Lets get the new coach in and give him a shot. A caretaker role for a whole year would do nothing to settle us.

Star is going a bit far. We needed a key forward. He is only 191cm tall. If we had picked up Darling we wouldn't have picked up Howe who is a similar size. We have a fair few players who can play third tall. Stats Darling vs Howe

Both good players. Both have bright futures. If we had picked Nik Nat we would big winners just the same.
