Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
It's official!
I've got a good feeling about this bloke & obviously wish him all the very best on behalf of many hungry Doggies fans!

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Me too. Lead us out of the wilderness Luke (no pressure)

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Impressive presser . Thought he played straight bat, elbow up and left the good ball.
Hasn't tailed off post career either by the look of it.
Good feeling about Luke and the best of luck .
Gutsy call by the club to go back to the untried coach

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Welcome Bev.
I like him on first impressions and have a good feeling about him based off the number of reports I've read and heard, however as always, proof will be in the pudding.
He does sound/look a good fit - if that makes any sense at all.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Good start from Luke
In looking forward to him getting stuck into his work with the team
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Not welcome. Welcome back Bevo! Wish you all the best and congratulations.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Welcome Luke, our destiny is in our hands. This is the era we make the most of our opportunities. As a supporter and member, I offer you my allegiance.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Was it Luke Beveridge that put Melbourne in front in the '87 game at Whitten Oval that put them into the finals or am I mixing him up with Ricky Jackson again?

Google is your friend.
In this instance so am I. Beveridge debuted in 1989.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Congrats Bulldog Bevo!
Lead us to the promised land!!!

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
All the best Luke really happy for you think he will be a great fit for us.
Loved watching Luke play for us when I was a kid gutsy little player,
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
From what I heard in the presser, it seems clear to me that Bobby Murphy is the next captain of the club.
As he should've been already..
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Welcome aboard Luke, lead us unto the promised land.
Fingers crossed he doesn't get shafted like the last bloke.
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Best of luck in the senior coaching game Luke - looking forward to going the journey with you. (Impressive presser.....).
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Congrats Luke on your appointment. Looking forward to the journey and the success your tenure will bring to our beloved Bulldogs (no pressure).

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I was pretty underwhelmed when I heard Luke was the front runner for the job, but now he has the job he has my unconditional support. God luck Luke.
On a side note, a former player I know that played on him a few times said pound for pound he's the strongest player he ever played on. That can't be a bad thing.

He looks like a tough bastard.
From his presser, I like the cut of his jib.

Welcome back to the kennel Bonox.

Looks fit enough to still be playing!

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
"I like the boy!" <-- Remember that response? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtxB0Kh0BCY
I was kind of "meh" about him at first, until I read up on his achievements over the years. Very glad he was chosen.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Good luck Luke.
I think some underrate his pedigree as a senior coach before coming into the AFL assistant coaching ranks. His C grade flag in the ammo's was about par with what B-Mac achieved as a senior coach, while his B grade flag put him a bit in front of it. Securing an A Grade flag on top of those two consecutively puts him miles ahead. It's one of if not the best competitions in the state aside from VFL, and he nailed it year on year.
Most of the favoured assistant coaches (when coaching jobs come up for grabs - Leon Cameron is a good example) don't have that sort of experience behind them.
I'm still in wait and see mode. So, I suppose I'll just wait and see how he goes.
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I agree, one thing I can't understand is the actual level of VAFA they won at? When I played it was in divisions not grades, does the A grade title he speaks of equate to the Premiers division?
Good luck Luke, if anything it seems we've got ourselves a genuine bloke.

Yep, he needs a strong number 2 and a director of coaching or he'll struggle like the last bloke.

He looks like a legit 'ard bastard. I like it.
I hope he does well. I'm not concerned about him being untried at the top level. Diamonds have to come from the rough, maybe we'll be lucky enough to have the next Clarkson success story?
Anyway, I'm glad it's done and our club can focus on being a club again.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I actually like the fact that he played for us for 3 seasons in the mid 90's.

Correct, it now goes:
Premier A
Premier B
Premier C
D1
D2
D3
D4

He also made the Greek AFL Team of the Century. Maternal Grandfather is the connection.

I knew there was an unusual fact about him tucked away at the back of my head.. Cheers FS it's been kind of bothering me since he was first bought up in discussions.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Like the fact his game-style is dependant on the squad's strength and weaknesses. This is what all the great coaches do, adapt to what you have, as opposed to imposing a game-plan that may not be best suited for the squad and hence, overall results.
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Good press conference so that is something. I don't know about his footy but he has a great head. Looking forward to not drawing him very well next year.
-
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Congrats & Welcome back Mr B.
Looking forward to 2015 pre-season.

This could be a big point of difference with Macca's approach.

Have you given much thought as to what sort of animal he will be? He'd be a great Lion with the hair and all but that's a bit Brissy.

He looks like Quagmire.
