Embarrassing blunder sums up Bulldogs' woeful season

The Bulldogs plumbed new depths with their awful display against Parramatta, but nothing was worse than this Josh Morris clanger.

While the gulf between the two teams wasn't reflected on the scoreboard, due to the wet and difficult conditions, the Bulldogs were never in the match.

Des Hasler described his side's performances as "unbelievably undisciplined" after they were comprehensively beaten 20-4 at ANZ Stadium on Thursday night.

The Bulldogs made 11 errors - four of which came from Morris - and had just 42 per cent of possession.

One of Morris's four errors was arguably the worst of his career as he somehow managed to knock on while taking a tap restart.

Hasler's face in the coaching box said it all really.

Despite being re-signed on a two-year deal just four months ago, Hasler's future at Belmore is uncertain unless he can right the ship in the remaining four rounds.

He was forced to front the club board last week, while Jim Dymock, Trent Barrett and Paul Green have been linked to the Dogs' head coaching job.

However Hasler, with his side sitting in 13th with just seven wins this year, denied the scrutiny had taken a toll on his players.

"I don't think they'd cop that excuse," Hasler said.

"We just dropped the ball didn't we? We executed poorly. We didn't play wet weather football.

"I don't know how you want to dress it up or beat it up, the second half, I thought we were a lot better."
