Is this code for relaxing in the stands while your teammates get chucked out in straight sets?

Because we could definitely use some of that. The whole actually playing finals bit I mean.

And straight sets means top 4. Cheap for a future third

[jeemak]

So contrived your contrarianism.

Maybe go to a game or talk to a player?

Or maybe take it in the spirit with the caveats provided.

Not all of us are privo enough to get access to players, some of us don't like going to games all the time because the experience is shit.

Maybe take on board a view from which the source or reasoning isn't telegraphed.

So players are saying Bevo is poison?

Which players exactly and what concerns have been expressed?

Naughton sounded pretty in love with Bevo, Harmes too.

This is something we just don't know. Players and coaches will try and say the right things and you will very rarely hear a bad word said about anyone. There would be players that like Bevo and players who do not, we'll never really find out the full story.

No doubt some wont 'love' him, but those two were pretty genuine with the way they talk about Bevo.

But then again im not in the Bevo is cancer camp.

Well Naughton signed on for 8. I doubt he has issues with him. Dunks tried to leave twice so I doubt he has much time for our coach.

[1eyedog]

What metric points to us contending?

The not making finals?

Or making it and being destroyed by Freo.

This is a land of make believe

That was 2022-2023 next season is 2024. We can't always be looking behind us.

I think Dunks had more of a problem with the party boy element of our team rather than Beverage, from the mouth of an ex forward of ours.

I had the impression Buku didn't like Bevo (normal for someone on the edge of the team not getting a game) but then he signed on again when there were offers elsewhere so maybe that's just the person who knows Buku and not the man himself?

An inherent problem with getting 3rd/4th hand info

[ledge]

If Bevo was having problems with personality . The club would hand picked up on it with players going to the board about it .. eg the McCartney syndrome.
Remember the rubbish rumour about Naughton not wanting to go back and being upset about it all ? Well that proved to be some way out there rumour of no substance and he signed another 7 years .
I think the supporters are all pissed off about not reaching our potential this year and vent up rubbish like the media.
Sure we need a review on what went wrong and to fix it but it doesn’t mean the worlds falling apart.
I’m good with this review and it should happen every year anyway.
I think Power is doing a great job the players we have picked up in the draft are 2-3 years away from being at their best but they are top of the tree players .
Jamarra is about a year away now Naughton and Smith are about to explode and Darcy a year away but we will start to see him move up now . Croft will be maybe two years away .
So if you look at the future in two years time we will be extremely good.
Just need to shore up some decent midfielders to take over from libba, Treloar and Macrae .
We have two years to do it either draft or trade .
Harmes looks like he will be the elder statesmen by then , I hope he is a good teacher and leader.

[Grantysghost]

What about the metric of adding one goal a game in 2023 would have had us top 4.

Ha. Classic. So if we were better we'd be better.

I get your point but not sure that's something you can build a framework or process around.

You come across as very anti player Jee, I'm not sure if you think it's all down to a player issue?

I get you want to assess when the dust has settled and that's cool I just think it's fine if others want to go a bit sky is falling at times.
That's why we have this awesome community.

Love your work

He has the ability to impact come finals time make no mistake, we need to get the best out of him.
