Maybe Bevo doesn’t know it but...

Leftfield suggestion (because he's a very different thinker to most football types) but Brett Kirk seems the guy who would have a knack of really connecting to some players and getting the best out of them.
Woudl be quite the change to have a Buddhist/meditator in the camp but we need different voices if only for a different perspective.

Hey, in this post-Rocket world maybe this is an approach the likes of Schache and Boyd might respond to.



Can you imagine the look on Moz's face though?

Leppa - didn't make a pigs ear of a coaching gig a little while back?
Harvey - no thanks. Too long out of the game as a player with very little direct coaching
Sanderson - yeah ok
Knights - are you kidding?
Rattan - as an assistant yes. Not sure about him running the whole shebang

It's time for the silver fox. Guido, come on down.

I reckon Libba would be thinking “And people think I’m weird”!

Kirky was a tough inside mid and a weird unit. I imagine Libba would produce his best football with Kirk as the official 'Assistant coach for spiritual inspiration'

I seriously couldn't watch the last ten seconds.

Pretentious much?

I tried picturing Kirky exchanging energy with Libba but had to stop before my mind melted.

No doubt Bevo has been trying things this year. Some good results, many poor results. He could've been truly pigheaded if he wanted to. But credit where it's due, he made some traditional moves and common sense moves. I'm happy he did, and including:

- Playing a second KPD. Trengove kept Lynch goalless. As I posted when I was following Cordy around in the TAC Cup, he can play tall but he's a good runner, rebounder and link man. He showed glimpses of that last night, despite his visually unappealing kicking technique, he's an accurate kick. Broke his best for handballs and hit outs. I think this mix of Trengove & Cordy (right now at least) with good team defence is a better mix.

- Dunkley to the guts. Sitting forward and missing easy goals is frustrating for all, especially since late last year he was smshing it as a midfielder. Last night he broke his AFL FP's career best playing in the guts.

- McLean also seemed to spend a bit more time up the ground.

- Bont also seemed to get a bit more forward time, and made his presence felt.

- Opportunity. English & Smith just keep growing week to week. La Young is raw, but there's a lot to like. Not sure I see much in Hayes at this level yet.

So the moves have been good, a lot more conventional in nature, but common sense and good. I think the one last structural change to me is a another KPF to be another target and a tall foil for Naughton. Dickson isn't giving us more than what Schache could, so if Josh can tick Bevo's boxes, a spine of Trengove, Cordy, Bonts, Schache, Naughton (& English) I think gives us great flexibility and structure.

We can't expect Naughton to kick 5 goals every week to win games, that said the entries were better last night. Schache and eventually Boyd will help the forward line. The improved mix in the guts and up the ground will help going ahead. Bevo has been experimenting and the results weren't great, but credit where it's due, making the changes he did got the mix right.

Bailey Smith is the big one. He keeps getting better and better each week.
Now he’s picked up the tempo of the game he looks like he belongs.
95% of supporters had him dropped in round 3 or 4. I was one of them.
