    Someone, somewhere over the Nullarbor Plain was just heard to say, "Gee thanks Damien".

    I was surprised he's walking away without a farewell game.

    To climb the mountain again with another rebuild , does he really want to do that ? Tje



    We are fortunate to have Bevo

    I hate to be playing the tigers this. week

    He was a great coach. Basically implemented Bevo?s game plan and was able to, arguably, make it better. Pressure football at its best. Good luck to him for his next move.

    Pretty sure that article earlier said he revolutionised the game

    I think he's doing the right thing in that the build up to the game won't be all about him. If he came to the decision at round 19 or 20 I suspect he might have coached a farewell game. He left today on a really good note.

    Bloke is a prick. I have a connection to the whole affair scenario and I’ll hate the bloke forever for his part in it.

    Great coach. 3 flags. Can’t argue with that.

    Not gonna comment on his personal life. That’s his.

    I hope he coaches again. Always enjoyed watching him interviewed. Wonder where he’ll end up?

    He was a prick on the field. Good coach.

    Hubristic as success became ingrained, with the commentary about hating Docklands being the high water mark when they get gifted multiple additional games/ finals at their home ground each year.
