Only one premiership cup in the trohpy cabinet
A team littered with high draft picks
A team that has strung together it's longest winning streak ever...
all this great stuff is happening to the Doggies and so what do they do next...
they sign as many of their players up mid season so other clubs can't raid them...
I just wonder whether it would be better for a club in the Buldogs postion to say to their current crop, hey win us a premiership this year and you will all get automatic 2 year deals with options and variation thrown in where negotiated.
I mean why should a club in the postion the Dogs are in be concerned right at this very moment in the season about other clubs poaching their players. If any of the Bulldogs players can't see that they are more than likely going to win a premiership in the not too distant future then why would they want to leave. Brisbane and StKilda have proved that you can get players to stay at a club for reduced pay in exchange for a good chance at a premiership
To me it seems a team like the Bulldogs has rewarded their players with contracts before they have reached the organisations ultimate goal. Has anyone got any insight into this issue or hindsight
