SEN radio host and former Melbourne forward, David Scwarz, says there is disunity among the playing group at the Whitten Oval.
Schwarz said on SEN radio on Monday there is infighting at the club, which is contributing to the side's poor form so far this season.
After shocking the football world winning the premiership last season, the Bulldogs have lost four of their last five games and currently sit ninth on the ladder with a 6-6 record after 12 games.
โThere are players down there that arenโt seeing eye-to-eye on a number of issues, and some of them arenโt footy related,โ Schwarz said.
โThere are other players down there accusing other players of things, whether that be goalkicking or decision-making.
โYou go through these things at sporting clubs but it is rare that happens on the back of a premiership given theyโve been so united and so well oiled.
But Schwarz said he expects coach Luke Beveridge to come down hard on the issue and sort out any grievances between players.
โIf its personality, and theyโre not happy with each other, theyโll sit in a room and work it out or theyโll move one on because they need to fix it.
โLuke Beveridge doesnโt put up with rubbish. So whatever it is, and whoever is expendable, will probably be moved on. They wonโt let this linger for too long.โ
