Western Bulldogs’ President Kylie Watson-Wheeler has backed the Club to turn its on-field fortunes around ahead of a Saturday night clash against Richmond at the MCG.

Watson-Wheeler was adamant that everyone within the football program is on the same page and working to improve performance and consistency.

“We are focused on supporting the group we have and really ensuring we are giving them everything they need to bring that positive result on the field,” Watson-Wheeler told ABC Radio.

“I think you need to watch what is happening on the field consistently and what is happening within the walls of the club. Everything I see, I see and feel that connection and we are in a bit of a phase of evolution within the team and determining how we can manage to deliver that high performance, that we have the ability to do (that) on a consistent basis.”

The President said she understood the member sentiment but asked the fanbase to stick with the squad as they continue their evolution.

“We are all disappointed and frustrated within the club, (at) all levels of the club,” she said. “As of course are our fans and we really understand that.

“What has been interesting this season for us is we have had three convincing wins and two convincing losses and then we have had three losses where we were right up at the line and just couldn’t find what we needed to jump over that and last night was one of those games.

“As a club we continue to connect to determine what we need to do to make sure we can win those games.

“I think the reality is when you think about the evolution of your football team and the game and where you are at you need to improve upon the previous year.”

“Given we just missed out on finals last year making finals is an improvement. But at our best we are very, very good. We just need to maintain that and bring our best more than we are at the moment.”

The Dogs face Richmond at the MCG on Saturday night, beginning at 7.30pm.
