Rhode Sacked
« on: August 04, 2004, 02:50:18 PM »
Looks like Eade may have a job after all.

Gee if we don't land Wallace and loose Eade to the Dogs well.

Things are panning out as I predicted weeks ago, which was:

Eade to dogs
Wallace to Richmond
Craig to the Crows.

Lets hope so.

End of the Rohde
04 August 2004   Herald Sun

THE Western Bulldogs are today expected to announce that coach Peter Rohde will stand down at the end of the season.

The Bulldogs have called a press conference for 4.30pm (AEST) today at Whitten Oval.

Rohde, 39, will become the fourth coach to lose his job during this season, following Adelaide's Gary Ayres, Richmond's Danny Frawley and Hawthorn's Peter Schwab.

The Crows, Tigers and Hawks are all looking for replacements for next season.

Rohde won his first game as coach - in round 22 of 2002 - but has endured a difficult past two seasons.

The Dogs won just three games in 2003 and finished last and this season have won just four games and are 14th.

From 41 games coached, Rohde has won eight and lost 33.

Well I don't think we have to worry about the Doggies being interested in Wallace. :lol

I would doubt that the Dogs could afford Eade.

I think a rookie is more likely or Ayres. Ayres is a cheaper option than Eade

Just goes to show as well that you can't rely on the data given by David Parkin as well. He was emphatic last night on Talking footy that Smorgon would never sack Rhode. How wrong he seems to have been.

I don't think it will a "sacking" per se - he will step down a bit like the way we did it with Frawley - he wasn't sacked - he quit :shh

That may well be true techniquely but it is a sacking politely nonetheless ;D

Another victim of the "President is right behind you" statement. Although Rohde was on seriously shakey ground, the timing of this decision sounds more like a political one with Simon Beasley and Co breathing down Smorgon's neck in the last week.

The good news is this might spur the doggies in the last 4 weeks to win 2 games and miss out of a priority pick  :thumbsup

ANd don't forget the other President cliche regarding coaches - he has a contract and we are going to honour it ;D

Not sure where the doggies are going to find the money to pay out Rohde as well as hire an experienced coach. Apparently the assistant coaches are gone also.

If Beasley and others had anything to do with the decision, maybe they should get their wallets out.

Some people have lots of good things to say about Mick McGuane - would come cheap too for the Doggies.
