Is Bevo burning out?

We are likely to drop the next two with a line in the sand game against the Crows. Drop that and it's going to get ugly.

Oh god. Don't even go there. If that eventuates, yeah all hell will break loose.

We all remember the first half of last year and we were asking the same questions. 2nd half of the year we were scary good with a young side. I feel Bevo is going for all in type of game style and knows we have the players that can stand up, but can we sustain it is the question. My biggest concern is when a team works us out early and makes us play the way we don't want to can Bevo change it up .. Port and Brisbane will be a true indicator of this.

Very true points, we have eroded the buffer we had built and the next 2 games will play a large part in determining if we can be contenders this year or not

Hopefully our best football is still in front of us

I still think it could be. I was very encouraged that after a stinker against the Tiges, they came out with hunger and were fierce and desperate. I was even more encouraged that after blowing our lead and everything going wrong in the third quarter, we still played with belief in the last quarter. There were games over the past couple of years when we’d have allowed a 10 goal thrashing.

Not a lot has gone right. We’ve had little continuity and a key link man Hunter missing as well as our most exciting key position player and a hard nut Dunkley who was in good form. It’s a real shame we didn’t pull it off last night as it would have done a lot for self belief which is often a fragile thing in BulldogLand but isn’t it strange to think that even with a diabolical forward line we outplayed the flag favourites on their own turf and were 3 or 4 skill errors away from beating them .

We shouldn't be too disheartened with our performance last night. I thought Bevo did well from the coaches box last night and watch other teams copy that blueprint when they play Port over the next few weeks. We were beaten by a good team on their home ground and as you have pointed a few things didn't go our way especially our composure and skill execution cost us. I remain optimistic that we can still get something positive out of the season.

Bevo desperately needs to get the selections sorted out though. The changes aren't making a positive impact although Dunkley )Of course) was pretty good. Weightman and R.Smith though didn't perform

If we can build on our performance against Port and tweak a few things we might give Brisbane a run for their money
