The Dogs thought they had a nucleus of a possible premiership side
hence acquisition of guys like McDougall and Akermanis who was more
of a big name recruit to sell memberships than a guy who will win you a flag.
Big mistake you flops 1 flag in 83 season will be 1 flag in 88 season. Eade's bank manager must be very happy when looking at his FAT bank book.
The Dogs are much in the same vein as Essendon all these blokes who are in their top tier retiring and once Brad Johnson pulls the pin the pain will be palpable on the faces of those rabied Doggies supporters as the youth coming through in the last yr or so is not that crash hot. The Dogs are years away and when you take into account their poor list other than a select 5 or 6 then yes things will get nasty at the kennel.
I am sure either Peter Rohde might want his job back or Robert Walls might head a sub commitee of prospective coaches
