    Our high performance team must be part of this review. Management and duration of soft tissue injuries has long been a bugbear of my
    mine.

    I initially thought of Lowe but he is known to the club and was Beveridge right hand man. Upon thinking further he certainly would have the trust of Beveridge to undertake a review. It seems he is still a consultant of sorts.

    Dunstall would also be a good option.

    Yep, agree. My apologies for confusion - my post was in response to why should the review be external. I think it should be.

    If we don't chances 2023 will be worse.
    Who do you get to review strategy and game plan, or match day tactics? Is this person going to be a credible person versus our current coaching group? If the strategy, game plan and match day tactics are found to be in need of major overhaul do you then get a second opinion? What if the second opinion doesn't agree with either our coaching team or the reviewer, do we then audit those findings?

    All this while you're putting the noses of the coaching team out of joint and overstepping the remit of the committee/ club management anyway?

    If you were to include these areas it would either need to be extremely light of touch or all in because you'd need to be committed and prepared to take on the consequences of the coaching group telling you to get *!*!*!*!ed if they didn't agree with the outcome. And then you're out of luck because you need new coaches.

    I would understand ensuring there was adequate governance and integrity in the selection process being in the review, but not much more than that as you start to get into really dangerous territory.

    100% this review is not about pulling Bevo's pants down to bare all.

    We need to take a holistic review of Bevo and not be seen to be scrutinising or questioning his ability to coach. The line of inquiry should be what does Bevo do well and where does Bevo need support?

    We don't question tactics if we feel Bevo needs support tactically we look at bringing in a specialist assistant
    or moving one out and bringing one in for 2023.

    This review is an opportunity to assess and identify areas of risk moving forward it's not a review to determine whether Bevo is the right person for the job. We've thrown our lot in with him and he's invested. He looks tired though and it remains to be seen what he can conjure up in 2023.

    Not game plan, would be about chain of command issues if any, communication, work load on Bevo, relationships across the org including coaches to players, support staff, fitness.
    You don't tell Bevo how to direct the movie you just make sure we have the right producers, actors, crew and culture to make the film.

    A review doesn't have to be necessarily an in depth critique. If we go down that route we may as well thank the current coaching group for their contribution and part ways. It could be as simple as questioning the coaching team what areas of the game plan are working and looking to them to assess where/how it can be improved and assessing the quality of the response rath than the response itself.

    I'm fine with this and would expect it is absolutely something that would be done throughout the year anyway with the coach/ football department regularly presenting to the board throughout the year.

    Re: Club to Conduct Review

    This shouldn't be seen as a head hunting exercise and it should be conducted more with a view what can we be doing better more than what did we do that was wrong.

    As a starting point lets have a look at:

    Coaching and player management
    How best do we allocate the additional 500K in soft cap spend?
    Are we scouting opposition teams, is that giving us an advantage on game days?
    Game plans
    Selection processes

    Sport Science
    How did or medical and strength and conditioning teams perform?
    What could we be doing better?

    Footscray
    What role does our VFL team play in developing and preparing players to become senior footballers?

    I don't think there need to be any changes to personnel but just determining if we are at the cutting edge of a footy industry that moves quickly and what do we need to do as a club to get there.

    Bevo might be stubborn on a few things but lets not underestimate that he wants us to win. He will listen to those who are well researched.

    I didn't suggest an external party review the game plan / strategy.

    You mentioned in your first post that there wouldn't be time to review in game strategy and tactical reviews which I disagree with.

    Luke Beveridge and the wider football department would undertake the strategy and game plan.

    I'm not stupid enough to think we bring in a third party to pick apart Luke Beveridge's game plan as that approach would certainly end badly.

    It’ll be a review of process and people. Can’t be a review of game plan etc.

    Other than a grab from channel 7 has anyone heard or read elsewhere a review is actually happening or is it pure speculation?

    We have most of the players and personnel at the club we need - but its absolutely worth having a process of review when you fall short of what you want to achieve - to think about all of the issues GVGjr raises

    Agreed - part of the reason for doing a review is to help the key personnel within the footy club learn and evolve. To get them all on the same page and feel buy in to whatever changes are being implemented.

    If they feel they are being reviewed as part of a witch hunt, that will be far less constructive. There may be a need for some robust feedback, but thats not uncommon within footy clubs, and Im sure they can deal with it.
