Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I was listening to Peter Gordon this morning on his segment at 774 and when asked about Bevo and his contract, he didn't say much and changed the subject. He actually had me worried.
This is great news and as BT said, with 3 vacancies, they were coming for him.

Terrific news. Like BAD I heard PG on 774 this morning and was worried about his silence on the subject.
Another premiership please Mr Beveridge.

He got finals the year after he actually signed a contract, and a premiership two years after he actually signing a contract. Ergo, 2020 = finals, and 2021 = premiership.
Let the good times roll.
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Great news! I wasn’t ready for Bevo to depart us. That closes all those rumours down now.

Similar sentiment ;)
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Fantastic news. With the coach and many of our star players locked in for a few years we should again be contending for the flag.

I don't think they were ever in the running. Grant Thomas loves him so came out and said give him 10 years, media pushed that way and made it sound like Saints were trying for his services. Bevo was contracted until the end of next season so they'd need an interim coach until then or for a contract to be broken. Neither were going to happen. I think Ratten was always going to be the guy next in line and he'll be coach of St. Kilda beyond 2019.
I'm happy to have him sign on for a little longer, despite my grumblings about how the team has been selected and performed early on this season I've never wanted Beveridge gone. I'll admit I did have my doubts at stages but was more on the side of getting better minds around him which I still hope we do after this season.
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Great to see the club ensuring some stability for the future.
Now we need to build a dynasty, a la Clarkson and the Hawks, on the base of our current young players.
Build it, and they will come; aka a destination club for top class, mature recruits.
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Phew. Glad to lock Bevo in for a few years longer. I couldn't see him wanting to leave just when this team seems to be starting to come good.
Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
If we have reacted to external noises I'd be rather disappointed.
Lets hope we aren't 3-8 at the mid point of the 2020 season with Josh Dunkley stationed in a FP, etc..

Without being one-eyed, has a decent record in his time at our club.

I don't think we have to be honest. Pretty sure the club said very early in the year that they are working with Bevo on a long term deal. Well before the changing landscape of senior coach positions opening up around the competition.
Given the number of long term signing of players throughout the year, I have been thinking this would occur. Seems only right to give players certainty as well as coach.
No deal is a sure thing. But I'd rather stay the course right now.
I do agree that the assistant coaching ranks need a freshening up. The club and Bevo need new voices and ideas.
