WESTERN Bulldogs president Peter Gordon said yesterday it would be a rollercoaster year for fans.
The passionate second-time president, speaking at the Bulldogs family day at Whitten Oval, described supporters as "gold, our family, our heart and soul".
"I want you to know that over the course of this year, we are all - on the field, off the field, on the board, in the management - going to be working our butts off to build, to rebuild, to make this club improve on the field and off the field," Gordon said.
"Stick with us. There's going to be great moments this year; there's going to be tough times, too.
"As long as you know we're working our butts off, that's what our commitment is to you."
Kicking let down the Bulldogs in their NAB Cup losses to Essendon and Collingwood on Friday night. Coach Brendan McCartney hoped that was an aberration.
"We got all of our bad kicks out of our system in one fell swoop on Friday night hopefully," McCartney told supporters.
"There's still five weeks to go and people have got to remember that.
"We've got some great champions of the club that have been here for a long time who want success and want to go back up the ladder in a hurry, and we've got a big group of young people who just want to be good at the game."
Young midfielder Clay Smith expressed optimism.
"We want to be in the top eight for defence and we want to look to play finals this year," Smith said.
"We don't want to rely on the older boys all the time.
"We're trying to get a nice even contribution from everyone. The younger boys this year in the midfield have come along a fair way in the pre-season.
"We've put on a bit of size and we've all got a fair bit fitter, so it'll be good."
