    Spot on. What you've omitted, probably tactfully, is what happens when the ball inevitably spills, the opposition then waltz out of F50. Where are your "Naughton. Ugle Hagan, Lobb, English, Bontempelli and Weightman" ? Wandering 'round, hands on hips, at best jogging in the direction of the escapee. Job done. Disgraceful yet Bev's head ?

    Plenty of evidence is there from 2015. No tagging, selection policy, rucking options, Naughton as a forward, drafting Gowers, etc etc. It was a good thing too until it stopped working.

    And don't get me started on how he almost ruined James O'Donnell's career by playing him forward for a few weeks, or picked fringe players in weird spots that I didn't agree with and lost countless games because of it because fringe players played in odd spots make the world of difference......
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

    No worries again. We’re going sensationally, Bevo is great at accepting advice, changing his ways that aren’t working and not stubborn at all.

    Can't take the L? You just listed a bunch of things you don't like. Whether they're working or not you didn't give any evidence to BAD that Bevo is ignoring his senior assistants.

    Did anyone catch this? Brad Johnson is fairly adamant Beveridge has a big summer of contemplation. Starts about the eight minute ten second mark.

    Clearly something is wrong at the club.

    It is probably a combination of everything players, footy department, coaching team and something needs to change over summer.

    Reality it is the three people who need to shoulder the blame is Luke Beveridge, Christ Grant and Marcus Bontempelli.

    Didn’t he have a big summer of contemplation ahead when we bombed out of the finals after leading by 6 goals last year? We were sold a more accountable game plan which lasted 4-6 weeks and since then it’s put too much onus on the performances of our best players and rotate the hell out of our bottom 4-6.

    It’s just rinse & repeat.

    One of if not the most dysfunctional forward line in the AFL.
