Reed Mahoney has come out in defence of coach Cameron Ciraldo after a player walked out for being made to wrestle all his teammates for being late to training.
Bulldogs captain Reed Mahoney has shut down suggestions there is a cultural problem at the club following revelations this week that a player took indefinite leave after he was lined up to wrestle all of his teammates for being late to training.
“I definitely think he’s [Ciraldo] a mate before he’s a coach, and that’s what everyone loves about him. He’s easily approachable, his door is always open, and a lot of boys go and talk to him just about life advice, and then footy comes second, and that’s how he is. Mahoney said the playing group had spoken about the criticism, and said if they were winning games there wouldn’t be so many rumours.“If we were winning, I don’t think we would be having these conversations, but when you’re losing, and the amount of points that we’ve conceded during the year, quite obviously we look at it every day [the culture] and for us to get better, ourselves [we] have to get it right,” he said.
