Re: Luke Beveridge and our challenges
I voted for no change but sound out options.
I think that’s a prudent step and I’m sure most clubs are doing this - surveying the landscape and who is available or might be gettable. It doesn’t mean we make a move, just that we are doing our diligence.
Bevo often does his best work when you least expect it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we finally got a response in a few days time and get this sEason back on track. If we have another 10+ goal loss it will be hard to swallow though.

You don't sign up a coach for a further period and then two games later say goodbye. I know you are not advocating that, but even looking around is pretty bad in my opinion. What changed in a month?

Given the absolute lack of response in games to date and the apparent lack of skill and fitness (which both always look worse than they probably are when the team isn't giving sufficient effort/ concentration) it would be negligent for the club not to start thinking about what they might do if the rot continues.

We'd trade you to Bomber Blitz and you'd have to post after saying how amazing the forum is for your worn out posting knuckles, like the Tullamarine rubber floors were for Cooney's knees!

Re: Luke Beveridge and our challenges
We have had a terrible fortnight no doubt about it. Saturday loss was one of our worst in recent times. The next month will be interesting in how we respond. I’m not big on making any rash decisions right now. I need more of a sample size.

Re: Luke Beveridge and our challenges
honestly, its a bit early to be calling for his head for goodness sake. In another post I pointed the finger at several glaring ongoing issues but it hardly means his head at this stage. We lost the first two in 2020 by a lot, and made finals. Were you calling for his head after those first two games? Followed that up with a GF in 2021 so hadnt gone backwards at that stage. Last year again lost the first two and again made finals. Ok we look pretty ordinary so far to say the least but not headhunting YET. Yes I voted option one

Re: Luke Beveridge and our challenges
We can't backstab Bevo. He orchestrated a flag for us and gave us a crack at another one. I'd take that over 8 years of top 4 finishes and no GF appearances.
Think he's deserved the opportunity to see out the year. Who knows what will happen on Thursday night it's a long season.

Voted the first option as well. Need to wait and then definitely review.
