Does being able to win a contest and kick accurately at goal go against him?
He doesn't have that flair we appear to love, perhapsca dribble goal or two would better showcase his talents

We are still the worst goal converting side in the comp I believe, and he's going at above 90% personally. Imagine how bad we'd be without his ability to kick straight.

We need drafting picks for academy and f/s . Yes. Yes this is the case.... If you even look at the possibility of securing Khamis and west. We would be silly not to secure them..... But sign Wallis FFS. Plenty I'd offload before him

We need to get a second and third rounder in my mind for my strategy. If Geelong are offering Dahl the rumoured money and Roughy has many suitors, we can cover these guys and take the compo picks for them. Sign up Wally & Libba who at their best are elite, as opposed to heart and soul effort types who when a bit off their game are a liability to the side. I understand why Wally has been upset by a few things, but the club should repair things starting with a decent contract tomorrow morning.

Everybody hates a smart arse.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

It's a strange one - he was dropped after the game against Adelaide, a game he laid 10 tackles. The week later in the coach's review Bevo bemoans our lack of tackling pressure.
I love Bevo but you get the side you select mate.
Every player has flaws but if we only look at what players can't do than Crossy would never have gotten a game and he is one of my all time favourites.

Maybe you hit the nail on the head as to why Wallis will leave at year end. the relationship between he and Bevo is not the best.

There's something to it. Not a guess. But GVGjr said he heard Mitch will likely sign soon, so maybe their relationship has been repaired. Which is a good thing for all.

I was told yesterday that the club is very happy with Mitch and are hopeful a deal will be done.
Roughead might a harder decision and that the club isn't that close with Dahlhaus at the moment. Also Roberts is clearly struggling.
Having said that who knows how things might shake out and I suspect it to be closer to the end of the season before things might be clearer.

Re: The Case For Signing Mitch Wallis
You will not find a more upstanding football citizen than Mitch Wallis. Of all the 'rift between players and coach' rumours you hear, this one concerns me the most. Who the hell does Bevo get along with?

You're assuming that there is some legitimacy to it. Don't assume...

There's always going to be ins and outs in a fairly large organisation. Doesn't necessarily point to a problem.
