The Bulldogs - Up or Down?

Which way will they go, interested to hear thoughts.

Irrelevant or REALLY irrelevant?

 

Mate guys like Libba and Dalhaus and Stringer have a future, but holy my goodness they have a long way to go.  Bottom four next year for sure.

Down for a bit first. After that really depends how they draft. Got good, young midfield talent, but ■■■■ all key position players. Basically they've got to draft/trade in a spine. That's tough to get right all at once, but at least they should get some decent draft picks to do it.

15th placed side after losing their 1st and ~4th best players and having another best 18 player leave and the coach.
Flag chance, clearly.

Who cares.....not me.

All they've done it gotten rid of some senior players that weren't taking them anywhere.

However, they were only ones keeping them competitive.

You could be forgiven for thinking they couldn't get much worse than fifth last.

I see them becoming 'Melbourne 2012' bad. 'Sack the new coach 10 games in' bad.

Then they'll get better. Slowly.

Their spine is woeful. Bottom 4 next season.

Nah I reckon they will have an ordinary year in 2015 but will bounce back when the inevitable priority picks kick in.

Fabric torn. Down for 2015, then up.

Dunno. Bontempelli, stringer, Hvorat and libba have all shown enough

They have a REALLY good set of young mids who already shown a lot.

But like Robbo said, the spine is poor. Will be down for the next 2-3 years IMO.

Have they been up over the last 3 years?

Not a lot of room for them to go down.

Rebuild in progress.  Bottom 4 I reckon.

They’ve got Crameri to hold them together and lead from the front.

What about the other 18 ■■■■■?

Who cares? They're not Essendon.

From their website:

“Bontempelli is a tall midfielder with great endurance and the flexibility to play almost any position”

They may ruin this kid by not knowing where to play him and using him to plug gaps.

More likely to be ruined by having to play for that shitpot club.

Thought they were tracking pretty well. Not sure now.
