The Western Bulldogs have parted ways with coach Nathan Burke after a dismal season in which the club notched just one win.<\/p>\n

Three club sources with knowledge of the situation, who were not authorised to speak publicly, said an announcement had been made to club staff and players on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Burke and the Western Bulldogs have been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

Burke has been senior coach since 2020 and last year had signed a two-year contract extension and moved from a part-time role to full-time.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs made finals just once during his tenure, in season seven last year. They had seven wins and three losses but lost an elimination final. The only other season when the Bulldogs had more wins than losses under his leadership was 2021, when they had a 5-4 record.<\/p>\n

Early in October, before the Bulldogs had won their sole game for the year, Burke slammed his side\u2019s sub-par professional standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not fit enough. I said that to the girls in there, we\u2019re not going to make excuses over that because I think there are probably things outside of injuries, within our control, that would make us fitter,\u201d Burke said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust understanding the level of professionalism required now \u2013 skipping an ice bath or not eating properly, that doesn\u2019t cut it anymore … I\u2019m not going to point fingers at anyone, it\u2019s general across the group. The whole league has raised the level, and we have to accept that and go with it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added the group was \u201ctoo nice on the football field\u201d.<\/p>\n
