    Re: Sharp Axes

    What sort of deals with the devil did you all do for the 2016 flag?

    This all just doesn?t make sense.

      Baines should’ve walked into the coaches box halfway through the 2nd quarter and tapped Bevo on the shoulder and said “enough”. The first prime time sacking on live TV.

      Why are we wasting weeks? They matter. Do they matter to the club? The matter to me.

      Enough is enough. Time for change.

        How would it change things by going early with a coaching change?

          If a change is to occur (and I'm OK with it) it needs to be considered and meticulously planned.

          I've played in a team where a change was made emotionally and haphazardly without any reasonable plan and it resulted in a two grade drop form A to C in consecutive years.

          Whatever we do from here, if we **** up the detail we're going to pay for it long term.

            Yep well said jeemak. No rushed decisions. They need to thoroughly thought out.

            Will be fascinating how it goes for the rest of the year.

              It's only AFEL Easty. You and I still have the battle for sixth in the EPL to worry about!

                Its clear to me & has been for a few years now Bevo is not getting the best out of them. Not a single player! His coaching tactics are not good enough. The fundamentals are disgraceful! I firmly believe Bevo goes & the players would play better.
                When its a close game the players look like they have no idea what they should be doing. The pies practice it every week & our players look lost. How can this be acceptable? Time & again the playing group look unprepared for the scenario put in front of them. How can things not improve with Bevo gone? Geez give the job to Bont & he can captain/coach & he'd do a better job.

                  Yes. Entirely.

                  The players are a reflection of the coach.


                  He has been confused, spent, stubborn, distracted and disorganised for years. There?s been some mitigating factors there but the most important thing is that he hasn?t got the results on the board. He?ll have these brief moments of clarity, or coherent thinking, we?ll beat up on a shit club and all of a sudden it?s an endless supply of credits in the bank for him again. Now we are reframing things around the list to buy him some time and grace.


                  I have said all along that the longer they wait to sack him, the more likely their fates are tied to together, so any number of Baines, Grant and Watson Wheeler have to go too. They?ve handled the situation with cowardice.

                  You can?t sack everyone all at once. 22plus players, board, footy department, CEO.


                  Start with Bevo.

                    What gets me is the media keep using the argument that we are a top 4 side so Bevo should be sacked yet very few of the "experts" even picked us to make the 8 this year.

                      Kane wants to keep taking it to cliche hysteria with his well worn hits on the Dogs. Nathan Buckley with the opposite. Actualy decent analysis and pragmatic. Bucks worth listening to in regards to this.

                            Well that’s great we can’t beat even the shot teams now but there’s a connection. I’m warm and fuzzy. Here I was thinking winning was important, even more so when the list management committee she’s on agreed to trade the first rounder this year. But stuff results, as long as there’s an emotional connection I’ll eat all these shit loses.

                                Thank God for that. Here I was panicking.
