McCartney obviously can't coach. Neither can Hird. Bomber was his ghost writing coach for the past three years. The jury is out on Buckley.
But the fact Griffen wants to go to GWS at his age (28 ) seems to tell me he thinks he has a better chance of winning a flag with the Giants than a club like Collingwood. _________________ Rain or hail, I wag my tail |

If he wanted to win a flag he wouldn't be looking to sign with the Giants. This is all about a pay day, that of which he isn't going to get at the Pies. |

Hmm, yeah I agree. Bulldogs captains are historically such great judges of premiership winning sides. I don't have the stats on hand, but I'm sure they've got a proud history of success. Though not as good as Hawthorn's of course. |

Hoping the Dogs do get pick 4. They'll go tall where the Giants would have likely gone for a mid. _________________ Well done boys! |

Quote: | I have today read a statement issued by Ryan Griffen’s management. It requires clarification.
Ryan Griffen raised with me some concerns about our Senior Coach the day after our best and fairest. I then organised for him to immediately relay those concerns to our Chief Executive, Simon Garlick. We both took Ryan’s concerns very seriously as did Brendan McCartney when he was informed of them.
We arranged for Ryan to meet with Brendan and our Football Director, Chris Grant, and they discussed his concerns. Brendan acknowledged some faults and agreed to work on them. At the conclusion of the meeting, Chris asked Ryan if he was happy with the meeting and agreeable to working with Macca on an ongoing basis.
Ryan answered yes to both questions and added that while he was on leave he wanted to reflect upon whether he was best suited to captain the Club in the future.
Having returned to Australia on Tuesday night and without any further discussion with us after giving that agreement, Ryan informed us that he had changed his mind. We were also informed that he was seeking a trade to GWS – with whom we now understand he was in communication during this time.
We are extremely disappointed at his approach and have no intention of indulging it. |
This was Bulldogs President Peter Gorden's statement regarding the news that Ryan Griffen has requested a trade to GWS! There's some serious problems internally for the Doggies if all of this is true. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Serious problems that might lead to a club not playing in a grand final for at least 54 years? Who'd have thunk it? |

What a soft, weak, piece of shit captain he is. Captain of the club quite prepared to shaft the whole club because he doesn't like the coach. Phucking prima-donna players are really getting way ahead of themselves. _________________ kill for collingwood! |
