Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
What a crack up. Beveridge announced his signing during his mid morning media conference!
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
So we've locked up English, Daniel, Naughton, Hunter, Dunkley, and Bont is on the books for another 2 years and now Bevo.
Heading into the off season we've put ourselves in the most attractive position to be hopefully able to attract some high profile trade and or free agency talent.

In what context was Cornes saying he hates it? Was he saying its a bad move by the Dogs, or that he thought it was a bad move by Bevo to ignore overtures from elsewhere?

He claimed Beveridge is coaching poorly.

Thanks Azabob.
Up til a month ago, I'd say that was a position he could argue with some level of evidence. However the last month with wins against Port and Geelong, and a good showing against the Pies, would suggest otherwise.
Kane's just a month behind the facts.. situation normal for Kane!

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
With these signings, certainly going to be entertaining for years to come with this list and after all, it is entertainment. High marks, running-half backs, gritty, dour,full-backs, blue -chip stars, moneyball gets of diminutive stature, dextrous ruckman, and a solid coach. What a team.
Can't think of a more varied and interesting list. Example we are the only club with the balls to give Caleb a fair go.

Wonder what it is that happened in the last 3 weeks to upset Kane?

He appears to be one of those guys in the media who wants to remain relevant by being contrary for the sake of it. Gets people talking.

I seem to remember a similar story some years ago. And that ended with a Brownlow medal, and a father/son selection in a Premiership team.

It's great news that we have retained his services but I do hope we revamp his role to narrow his focus.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
He has forgone extra coin elsewhere and the chance to give himself a honeymoon period, effectively resetting the scrutiny he will be under if things don't keep tracking the way they we want here. I applaud him for it, it's a brave move & suggests he has some real confidence in himself to get things going.
Personally, I had him sacked and he had me very frustrated from about R2 last season to R6 this season. Putting the axe away now. Might point it at someone else, or sell it and use the money to add an extra support in.

It's a funny thing, I thought his confidence in himself was going to be his undoing this time around but a bit like last year he's put together some good form on the back of what seems to be more conventional and settled player positioning.
Last year it was apparently the players who got into him in the run home about playing players in their proven best positions, I wonder if the same thing happened this year, whether other elements within club got the message through or whether he realised himself that things needed to be settled.
Anyway it's a big show of faith for both parties and I'm happy each side has the confidence to back our club and its players in.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
