Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge

[ReLoad]

Welcome aboard Luke, lead us unto the promised land.

Fingers crossed he doesn't get shafted like the last bloke.

Best of luck in the senior coaching game Luke - looking forward to going the journey with you. (Impressive presser.....).

[whythelongface]

Congrats Luke on your appointment. Looking forward to the journey and the success your tenure will bring to our beloved Bulldogs (no pressure).

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.

Looks fit enough to still be playing!

I was kind of "meh" about him at first, until I read up on his achievements over the years. Very glad he was chosen.

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.

[LostDoggy]

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.

[F'scary]

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.
