Re: Sharp Axes

Not sure I have any confidence in any potential interim coach to get any bounce. Stewart Edge seems to know how to coach a team, shame he probably isn?t close enough at the top to get the gig

Yes I agree WB. I don’t believe we have anyone else internally we’d want to coach for 15 weeks of the season. Listening to Bevo tonight, I believe he’s the best one to get us through this year. Best to work through the whole lost to figure out who is and isn’t up to it.

I've mentioned it before that changing the coach so early in the year might be a palatable outcome for many supporters but it's fraught with problems. Far better to wait until closer to the bye but I'm still sticking with Bevo.

The other side is the damage being done now is just as bad. Either way we're in a bad situation!.Very bad.

Re: Sharp Axes

it's not wrong. It's toxic. Has been since we lost in 2021. Looks to me like Grant and Bevo the main perpetrators. Love them both but their time is up. Question marks on Baines as well..

It is toxic.

Every day we wait is another day wasted.

I think worse damage if he stays. Putting off a surgery you know you need hurt means we will be sicker when we have it and re recovery his harder.

We need to be sold hope. Usually it’s in high draft picks, we don’t have this year. Or in trade targets we won’t get. The only lever we can pull to offer us some hope that something will change is a new messenger in charge. Otherwise it’s just sit back and relax as we steer the plane into the ground. I don’t want to take that ride anymore.

I think if you're going to do it you need to take the time to do it properly.

So I'd start with Grant, Beveridge, Power, and putting on notice any of the players we think are taking the piss, and killing a few off as an example to the others. If we give any of the players a pass and don't make them accountable for better performances a new coach will come in and it won't be pretty because habits have been formed.

While our next coach needs to have a connection with the players, it needs to be less emotional than it seemingly is at the moment, and more business like. Frank, honest, caring and respectful, but not emotional.

Re: Sharp Axes

Bevo articulates so well what went wrong on field. Probably is best we stick with him.

When does it become untenable though? More losses to lowly teams?

If we made wrong decision to extend his tenure are others in firing line?

Horrible situation for club.

100% others should be in the firing line. Whoever extended him early. Imagine blowing a 7 goal lead in a final and extending the coach.

It's not a great situation to be in but we can't keep sitting on our hands here.

The other thing about it is what would happen if Ameet didn't say we were aspiring for top four, given every club in the competition apart from one or two is genuinely aspiring for top eight, and teams that make the top eight are aspiring to take the next step!

Why do they hang onto this shit for? Some things you can only find out when you actually find out. If that wasn't the case we'd all just put in the time and effort, we'd always get what we want, and things would be perfect and to plan every time.

So our entire problems are solely due to the senior coach? If the axe swings on Bevo, I would be very disappointed if self-preservation ruled the day and it didn't also swing onto other very senior people at the club, and onto a significant portion of the playing list (who are so damn hard to love).

Because Tom Morris wants to stir shit because he thinks that gets eyeballs and makes him look good at this job. He also has a vendetta against Bevo.

Why did he have to mention top four at all?
What?s the saying expect little, be grateful of over achieving? ???? Something like that

Re: Sharp Axes

He was probably asked do you think you have a list capable of challenging for top four.

As a journo in AFL land you'd maybe ask where do you see this list going and press from there. With a response to "I think this list is able to make finals and compete with the better teams" you then get an opportunity to ask, "is it capable of making the top four", so on and so forth.

I don't remember him standing on the corner wearing a sandwich board stating our top four aspirations, but that's how it's being portrayed in the media at the moment.
