We all LOVE Bevo (of course), but SOMETIMES...

[MrMahatma]

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.

Do you coach outside 5 MJP?

From the top of d50 to the centre I do...that ‘control’ zone where the oppo is trying to switch and set up theor attack. Inside d50 I want to press and apply pressure to the kicker - make them feel uncomfortable - and forward of centre I just feel it gives the kicker more angles to work with if you drop back...

OMG can you apply for an assistant coach job please.

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.

[The Underdog]

LOL.

I wanted to add 'Magic Committee Bingo' as an option but figured that is the ultimate 'Bevo-ism' and when it works (like it did particularly in 2015) then it is pure magic.

So I couldn't include that because it is part of what makes Bevo who he is. Outside 5, Caleb at Full-back etc - those are tactical changes that he could EASILY reverse field on. Well, I think he could.

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

Non-ruckman in the ruck - Hannan or Buks getting murdered doesn't help us at all.
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.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Yep like 65% of us. Just play rucks and stop stuffing around Bevo.

[jeemak]

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.

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

Sometimes he sees what no-one else can.

Sometimes he sees what no-one else can.

And sometimes he can't see what everyone else can.

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.

[SonofScray]

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
