    I agree with this in principle but can't go past the 2016 PF as the greatest Bulldogs performance ever.

    Re: Sharp Axes

    An opening loss to the Demons which was beyond poor
    A solid win against The Suns, an improving team, but still not complete
    A great win against WCE, a team that is about as poor as you can get
    A loss to The Cats, a game we were capable of winning and should have won
    A loss to the injury depleted Bombers in another insipid display

    We are 2-3 after 5 games. Its time.

    Re: Sharp Axes

    How long he's given will be interesting. Feels we're delaying the inevitable though.

    Would he be gone at 2-5? Does he make it to the halfway point?

    Given the big changing to the coaching group I find it hard to see them doing it soon, but it's impossible to see him survive. We're in a crap position.

    Reality is he's contracted to the end of next year. There's no way he gets posted five rounds in.

    That being said, it wouldn't surprise me to see him resign before seasons end if we're struggling.

    Is it end of next year? I thought it was end of this year?

    Bevo will need to be told.

    He won’t walk regardless of the win loss ratio
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    I love Bevo. I don’t want it to not work and I think that’s what holding me up from wanting him to be taken to the town square.

    Is it kind of unfair to a really talented list to essentially cede a season in round 5?

    It would be unfairer to a talented list to allow them to underperform and do nothing. AFL careers are short. Some guys play a handful of games. The way we are playing we are mid table. Not bad enough to bottom out, but not good enough to play finals and win. Is that fair?

    Re: Sharp Axes

    There's no real point to bottoming out this season anyway - we've traded away our first rounder.

    For mine the question is - do we think a different coach with no pre-season and without much time to implement their game-plan will get more from this group than what Beveridge will this year?

    If the answer is yes, the sooner we make the call, the better. If the answer is no, we might as well give Bevo the bulk of the season to see whether he can get this group into the 8.

    I think we probably made the wrong call by not sacking Beveridge at the end of last year, but we didn't and now we probably need to dance with the one we came with.

    I’m with you.

    It’s time. A professional club, that exists to win, would move him now. This season is wasted under him. 1% chance it’s a success under any one else, but we shouldn’t fall into the trap of letting the season play out. Under the current regime this season is over. Change is required.
