Bevo and our efforts

Re: Bevo and our efforts

Whilst I agree, the same can be said for any side of quality. No contending side does it easy - that's why it's hard to maintain strong form and win finals.

I'm more concerned about our inexperience/kids fading through the year.

Lucky it is a short season

Re: Bevo and our efforts

Bevo coached teams make up 1/4 (5 of 20) of our 20 highest ever club wins, scoring effort, despite this era only being 7 years out of nearly a century:

1. North 128 pts (2021)
3. Saints 111 pts (2021)
7. Essendon 104 pts (2019)
12. Melbourne 98 pts (2015)
20. Essendon 87 pts (2015)

Plus 5 more 60+ wins.

Ratten doesn't look flash and I think he carries a lot with him on and off the game.

I actually thought he was pretty good compared to a whole bunch of other coaches who have been in the same situation. Called out the need for change in personnel, but didn't whip them in front of the media like other coaches have done in the past (possibly a long time ago).

Also, it was interesting to note that his view is it's all between the ears when it comes to pressure, sticking to plans etc. A few around here constantly said the same thing about us when it had gone pear shaped, and as much as I think Bevo is probably coaching well our group seems to have matured and or is just that little bit better at taking ownership for what is happening on the field this season.

Yeah whatever it is, there has been a marked change in our effort and intensity this season. Let's keep it going.

Re: Bevo and our efforts

Found a quirky stat, prior to the Saints game:

Bevo the player: Won 57.2% (118 Games)
Bevo the coach: Won 57.3% (143 Games)

To play for that long and then coach for that long and then be a mere 0.1% off an identical success rate.

I know it was another good one. We need an "awesome" button.

We haven't even hit lockdown yet and already I'm bored and antagonistic.

Yep, that's exactly what I meant.
