New head coach

[SonofScray]

Re: New head coach

Have changed my mind, again, for now.

Things I like about Bevo and his footy:

1 the defensive system is robust, I love when the men of mayhem clicks in and we squeeze, smother and suffocate.
2 the ceiling is perfect football, fast, cohesive play.

I don’t like:
1 he is verbose
2 stubborn
3 slow to react


But whatever my feelings for him are, there’s never any wavering in my hatred for the Essendon Olympic Committee. Bevo has an opportunity play a part in doing something I’ve always wanted to see us do, inflict serious trauma on these scum rats in a final. It’d give me great joy to see our Club eviscerate whatever embers of hope are starting to emerge across the Maribyrnong. To put these arseholes in their rightful place, which is eternal ineptitude. They shouldn’t even be in the league anymore, let alone a chance to win their first final in yonks.

The schadenfreude I’d get from this victory will tip the scales back in favour of Bevo. Credits in the bank sort of stuff. I’d be:

1 grateful
2 happy to accept that at 15 H&A wins and at least one finals win, there’s been improvements
3 relaxed


The flip side can be gleaned from my previous commentary.

I can get down with all of this.

Big week for Bevo.

Re: New head coach

I’m definitely in the keep Bevo camp.

Would be interested in getting a fresh face in the group though. I wonder if Teague will want a break, or will be keen to stay involved in a coaching role? He could be an interesting type to add. Yes, limited success in W/Ls, but has carried himself relatively well as a senior coach and has plenty of experience.

Matty Boyd coming back to the Dogs has a bit of romance about it too.

Re: New head coach

At the start of the year I had a pass mark for Bevo was to make fnals and win one. Bevo is on target.

And I think that is a reasonable level of expectation given the strength of our list and keeping Dunkley and adding Treloar.

I typically start every year wanting us to never lose two games in a row. Unlit the last few weeks we were right on track to achieve that.

That was a reasonable target and still is. 2 finals would have been par based on season form.

Re: New head coach

If we bomb our first week, at the very least we need a clean out of line coaches and some fresh ideas because the status quo isn’t cutting it.

We also need a review into high performance and medical. Our injury list is *!*!*!*!ed every year and recovery times have been stupid long this season (Treloar and Martin prime examples).

Martin was smashed and beaten up before we got him. only played 8 games last year as well.

His body is just about stuffed and we got him in pure desperation.

Re: New head coach

Win this week and we are back amongst it and on par with the teams who lose the Qualifying Final.

Beside Clarko there is not a great deal of options out there. Geelong and Port have stuck with their coaches and they have one flag between them over the past 10 years.

Would rather be in our position than a lot of the other clubs.

Agreed he needs to get someone in to challenge him rather than yes men but this is something the club need to do. He needs to get back to the basics this week of picking horses for courses as there is no tomorrow.

Alright, let me pose this question to everybody then.

Assistant Coaches, who would everybody replace?

I'd be getting rid of King, Smith and Hansen and if we were going to go full cut, probably getting rid of Chris Grant and promoting Sam Power to Head of Football.

I'd be looking at Teague, MBoyd and if we could somehow get Mont back from PAFL, to replace the out-going three.

Complete clean out of assistant coaches should 100% be on the cards for our offseason, although, who knows what their contracts look like.

Re: New head coach

All assistant coaches are in contact for next year.
Our assistants are always in contract

Bevo has spent all year complaining about how hard it’s been for the coaching group and all the extra work they’ve taken on. Given he is loyal to a fault, he won’t be moving anyone on.

So.. zero changes happening during the off season to coaching panel, staff, assistants, whatever.

Far out...

Monty would never come back while Bevo is there

Re: New head coach

I think Bevo has been a great coach and no way I would like to see him go. This is the 5th year we have played finals, so he has given the players every chance to go out there and win. You are only as good as the players that are available.

This year we have once more had to endure playing almost every player on the list due to the constant injuries. Bevo some how has manufactured 15 wins and a finals berth. I have no doubt, that if Bevo had the same luck with injuries as Melbourne, we would be sitting pretty on the top of the ladder.
