    Re: Our 2nd half of Season 2019 - what will happen?

    I wonder whether now is the time for the club to try and fast track the re-signing of Bevo?
    There are murmurs Saints could try and poach Bevo. The personal connection to the Saints sits deep within the Beveridge family. Nonetheless, i get the impression Bevo is a loyal character, and I don't see him as a cut and run guy; but he surely needs to feel secure.

    We've signed up a lot of our guys recently, I think given how the season is positioned, we need to remove any outside noise and allow players and coach to know we're on a shared journey.
    Get it done.

    I called for this a couple of weeks back so I hope we are in at least some discussions with him.

    Its not even the threat of a mega deal; I don't think Bevo is one for whom making maximum bank is the main driver
    I think its more that any interest coming from Saints being met with a 'Luke has an existing contract til next year' kinda statement from the ckub, might make him feel unsure as to where he sits going beyond next year. He may start to think 'how secure is my tenure? I'd probably only leave for the Saints, and that job won't be there in 12 months, if I'm not renewed here, so maybe I take the offer now'
    Even more important, we need all focus on the games ahead of us. No distractions from here on in.
    The guys have signed on; I assume thinking Bevo will be there beside them. It just seems a no brainer to remove any conjecture or speculation.

    Ok. Just did a scan of the news. I could've saved myself two posts by searching earlier.
    Herald sun caption (behind a paywall) indicates we're doing something in this space. Not sure if its just a club media spin in response to the Saints murmurs.

    Back on track. So win the next three and beat the Bombers at home and the Crows in the Rat and we have 12 wins? Is that enough?
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Think I might actually fly up and go to the Brisbane game at the Gabba, what's the go with using your members pass interstate, same as in Melbourne I assume?

    Depends on the type of membership you have. If you have a home and away membership, then yes you can use it.

    Rounds 20 through 22 will be massive tests but the Giants aren't in the best form ATM and who knows which Bombers outfit will show up that night.

    Massive chance to come how with a wet sail.

    Does he want to coach on? Just asking.

    14 wins and we are 100% in the 8 and percentage will not be a factor. 13 wins also in if our percentage increases
    12 wins still possible but unlikely and will 100% depend on percentage. 11 wins and it will need a miracle to get in. That's my gut feeling atm.

    12 will get in IMO, especially if we beat Essendon & Adelaide

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
