    Those are two of the poorest back to back performances I can remember in the Bevo era. It is amazing how he can tap in to emotion at times - and at other times it feels like there is no connection between coach and players at all.

    Re: Sharp Axes

    Tonight was an example of what I'm talking about. Lyon has had 6 months with an average list & the saints had system & intensity. They also believe in the system. We've been seeing these issues for how bloody long? Six months to have some semblance of a defensive system & all we've seen is this anti-defence system.
    I can't see us sacking chompers! All we can hope for is more smashings to force change. Either chompers is gone or chompers finally realises his anti-defence philosophy is done & needs to change.

    Gets things done. Very good offensively.

    I'd argue that the GF was nowhere near as bad as tonight because a) at least we turned up for more than 12 minutes and b) the opponent was good.

    Tonight we were beaten by effort and system. Horrible.

    In a dream I had Brad Johnson, Dale Morris, Matthew Boyd and Bob Murphy as the coaching group

    Tap him on the shoulder. Play the kids for the year, get as many quick young mids at the draft as possible, pick up Leppitsch, Yze or Cox as head coach for next season, move on deadwood, go again in 2024.

    This year is done under Bevo.

    By design we are the 5th most experienced list. Playing the kids isn't the answer.

    I'd prefer to see games in the Clarks, Bedendos, Cleary, Buku types than our guys who are going to be retiring in 1-2 years.

    Leppitsch, was with Richmond during there run of 3 flags, now with the Pies. Probably one of the best system based coaches you could get considering how both Richmond and the new-Pies play. If he could bring even half of that to our team that would be a great start.
