At least among the sources AussieRulesBlog listened to, there seemed to be a certain unanimity that Brendan McCartney was doing a terrific job at Whitten Oval and the future looked quite bright.
Despite Chairman Peter Gordon's protestations, it's hard to escape the conclusion that the tail was wagging the dog when the Western Bulldogs did nothing, at least in public, to dissuade their coach from submitting his resignation.
It's hardly a surprise that in mid-November, the club still has not appointed a replacement. Who would put their hand up for the job?
It's three-quarter time and the Bulldogs are ten points down. How does the coach appeal to the players to put in an extra effort? It seems the senior players didn't take kindly to being told they needed to lift, so who could you appeal to? Ask the Chairman to give the address and kindly ask the players if they wouldn't mind trying just a smidgin harder?
For years, AussieRulesBlog has had a soft spot for the team of the mighty west, but we fear for its future in the wake of this post-season schemozzle.
The Crows may have been caught with their pants down after sacking Brenton Sanderson only to find favourite son Simon Goodwin was signing up with Roosy, but they quickly got on with things. Perhaps the Bulldogs don't have any applicants?
