Re: We all LOVE Bevo (of course), but SOMETIMES...
I quite like his press conferences. People may think he went OTT on Morris but heck, I enjoyed it. Reckon I watched that presser 3 or 4 times.
I'd like the role of Ruck to be looked at differently though.

What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

His stubborness when he makes a captains choice in selecting players. Some are not up to it but he continues to play them and leave them on the list.

I mean, its either Match Committee or his dogged commitment to XS shirts to show off the guns

Track-watchers this pre-season note Naughton was taking ruck contests in the F50 - you don't use a Ferrari to plow a field.
Agree with this most of this but.....
Ferrari do make tractors and other farm equipment haha.
The curse is dead.

Re: We all LOVE Bevo (of course), but SOMETIMES...
Yep like 65% of us. Just play rucks and stop stuffing around Bevo.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Re: We all LOVE Bevo (of course), but SOMETIMES...
It's not like we're the only team that has its best forward rucking in the forward fifty.
If we win possession a quick kick to the top of the square can be contested by the taller forward, brought to ground or marked.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

This is Bevo in a nutshell
Who could have coaxed such footy out of Fletcher Roberts, Joel Hamling, a Clay Smith held together with elastoplast, Zaine Cordy starting up forward in prelim and granny, backing in rookies McLean and Dunkley
When everyone doubts him, he often doubles down in his belief on a player, or what a player could become - e.g Gardner

Nah you're right. Zaine Cordy was always the right answer. One ruckman was always the right answer. Apologies for saying something that implies Beveridge might get some things wrong occasionally.

Re: We all LOVE Bevo (of course), but SOMETIMES...
It has to be the ruck issue, an ongoing frustration that exists for me on on a continuum from "Geez this isn't working" to "Danjul."

Cordy - who replaces him? We have never had a decent KP
Ruck - who? Please don't say Sweet
